@mario: I've been a fan of John Perlman for many years...actually his show is the only one worth listening to in the morning.
About "batting for the other side" my politics is probably more to the right of the ANC.

Speaking of the N73, it 'hung' twice this morning when I was taking the pics. After taking a pic, then pressing the 'back' option, it would not go back to the 'live' camera, but would freeze up. All that responded was the on/off key at the top of the handset. Two hard reboots in the space of 15 minutes shouldn't be a norm...
I took about 9 pics in all, so the hanging/ freezing didn't happen each time, but still, my 3230 only froze about once or twice in the year and a half that I had it. Hmm...
Methinks a trip to Nokia's service centre in central London is in order, if there's been a fw update.
Ye I hated that with the N73, I was used to the K750 style pull flap to activate the cam, but with the N73 it takes ages before you can even take the pic, and if you want another pic its another 2 minute wait...
Damn Nokio

Now, that I am getting a new cell, I am posting a lot on this forum (and others). @786 2min between pics? I'll check that, I think you talk crap, but give you the benefit of the doubt until this weekend. @ Ama, do you have the latest firmware, is your n73 branded in any way? First thing I will do is to 'upgrade' mine to the latest fm at home over the weekend. I am very much interested in the video rec. Is it better then the N70? A buddy of mine at 'symbian-freak' forum, has a production model of a N95. He send me a few video recordings and I must say, there are almost as good as my 2years old sony trv 75e handycam! As soon as the n95 comes to SA I will return the N73 back to my wife and go for the 'real horse'. I will then be able to record and post, video clips while I fly :smile: Also it will replace my Garmin72 gps (I will give the old one to the recovery team) Does anyone know what the 3.5g upload speed is like in South Africa?

Birdie....num-num!
Screech owl (appropriate name...), also known as a barn owl.
The biggest owl type, the European eagle owl.
Screech owl with kestrel in the background.
Falcon:
The bright light filtering in from the right played havoc with the pics, but anyway...

@ Mario,
As expected, my N73's firmware is passe to say the least. It's the old, iffy V2.0628.0.0.1.
Up until recently,the latest firmware was V2.0628.0.0.3.
The latest is V3.0649.0.0.1 . According to a few Symbian forums that I found on the net, these latest 2 firmware updates make the world of difference to the cell.
I look forward to getting it installed on the phone over the weekend and noting the changes...
BTW, the video is indeed superior to the Nokia 3230 that I had, but again, I can't make a comparison with the N70 as I've never played around with one.
Also, the phone has absolutely no branding, apart from an O2 start up and shut down show.

So next year China is apparently set to take third spot away from Germany on the world's wealthiest country list. As regards cell-related matters, check this out:
China leapfrogs to 4G mobiles
[ TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2007 11:43:36 AM]
Beijing: Third generation (3G) telephony is passe. China has leapfrogged into 4G mobile systems, which provide faster wireless speeds for transmitting data and images on phone networks.
The home-grown technology, launched in Shanghai on Sunday is expected to be put into commercial use by 2010, and is said to provide data transmission speeds of up to 100 megabytes per second, against an 10 Mbps under 3G which was not launched in China and is confined mainly to GSM operators in Europe and CDMA operators in Korea and Japan.
It could even be faster than entry-level broadband connections, which transmit voice and data at speeds of 256 Kbps or more, and many times quicker than dial-up net connections which usually have speeds of around 64 Kbps.
With 4G technology allowing faster data transmission sharply improving, consumers could hope to get multi-channel high resolution TV broadcasting right on their cellphones.
While China claims to have developed its own technology, other than what is used elsewhere, technology buffs are surprised at the latest development. The protocol developed by 10 “leading domestic institutions” calling themselves “Fu-TURE Project,” is estimated to have a rollout cost of $19.3 million.
China initiated the B3G (Beyond 3G)/ 4G research project in 2001 under the label Future Technology for Universal Radio Environment, or FuTURE Project. It has obtained more than 200 patents and some of its core technologies have been adopted by international standards organisations, positioning China as one of the world’s front-runners in 4G technologies, a report in the China Daily said.
“It testifies that the technology we’ve developed is feasible and brings us one step closer to put it into commercial use,” a leading expert involved in the programme, You Xiaohu, said.
“The Shanghai system shows that we have entered the final phase of our project,” You added.
