The original Vodafone Smart was limited to a video resolution of 352 x 288. On the Vodafone Smart 2 the VGA camera's filming resolution rises, but not much, to 640 x 480 pixels, and it records at 15fps.

The same range of colour effects are here as with stills shooting - Mono, Sepia, Negative, Sketch and Embossed - and you've got the white balance settings of Incandescent, Daylight, Fluorescent, Cloudy and Auto replicated from the stills camera too.

It's not the greatest range of settings we've seen, and in general we found video quality to be average, with some jerkiness creeping in at times.
