CCD (charge coupled device) is a type of camerasensor. Some phones also have CCD sensors like SonyEricsson S700i. Nokia mainly uses CMOS sensors (complementary metal oxide semiconductor).
In general you could say that CCD produces better picture quality and CMOS uses fewer energy. But CMOS is a new technology and its evolving very fast.
