For the hopelessly addicted among you, and really I guess that means me, here are four high res shots of the new P810. Now referred to as the P900. One, two, three, four. Looks like the camera will be just VGA 640x420 instead of the rumored 1.3 megapixels.
Frankly, this doesn't bother me. I don't want super high res in my phone cam until the camera itself can spit out thumbnails (why can't they already?) In other words, I'd love to shoot with x million pixels resolution, and store those images in the phone (to download to computer next time I sync,) but I need the phone to make a smaller version (100K or so) that I can send it right away over the slow mobile network (either to a server or to another phone.) I hate to think how long it would take to send a 1.3 MB file over the mobile network I use now.
No word on when this phone will ship (maybe not too soon, seeing as the P800 is still not completely available.)
In other P800 family news, here's a link to an SSH client. The server is presently slashdotted, but when it comes back to life I want to check this out. SSH is a protocol that allows you to log into a unix computer from a remote location using encryption. This is the reason I can have my server in California while I'm in NYC. It's the king of all geek protocols. So, of course, something I really want on my mobile.
And here is a company that has an SSH client for the Blackberry, and a beta of one for the Nokia 3650 & 6800.
I hate how hard they make it for 3rd parties to write software for the SideKick. This seems to be mainly T-Mobile's fault.
What are your impressions of the Nokia 3650? I'm hoping I might be able to get a discount (beyond the rebate) when I renew my T-mobile plan.
I like it. Nice camera. I almost bought this for MB.
It's a little big, but if you don't mind the size, and the slightly weird key layout I think you'll like it.
I can't wait until people are posting photos from their phones.
I think I hate the key layout but the price is right and sending and posting photos via phone is gonna come in real handy.
