One of my friends bought a macro lens on eBay which attaches with a sort of clothes peg shaped thing. I'm not sure if it's exactly like this 3 in 1 Macro + 180

As lotus says, if good camera lenses sell for hundreds of dollars, what do you think you can expect from a $25 single element lens? Hold magnifying glass (not 49 cent cheap plastic, a real glass lens) in front of the phone's camera lens (you can see when the image is focused) and you'll probably get better quality pictures. Not much, but better.

(We once tested barcode scanners - all the way from $19 "pen" type to $900 real barcode scanners. The "lenses" in the cheap ones looked as if someone had heated a plastic rod and caught the drippings in water. They were sort of round pieces of plastic. The "lenses" in the $10 macro lenses for cellphones might not be much better. If Tiffen, or some other photographic company, made macro lenses for cellphones, I'd have more confidence in buying one.)

BTW, the Macro function in Camera FV-5 isn't bad. You can't have the camera lens touching the thing you're taking a picture of, but you can get closer than the standard camera apps. And it's free. Don't like it? Just uninstall it.
