Mobile Fun
In honor of getting my new phone setup, I present you with some goodies:
The first picture I took with my phone.
In fact I've been playing with Gallery as an online photo album. I've set one up and even got it interfacing with my phone, so now I can send out an email with a picture attached to it and it is instantly posted to my photo moblog album. (That's why I was so interested in getting email to work on my cellphone.) The interface is still pretty ugly on the backend. I need to clean it up more, but it works. These guys will do it for you but it kept bouncing back at me with password errors when I tried to use their service.
[Update: I would recommend not using the scripts at the "interfacing" link above. There's some problems with them. I found a better method. Follow the link in my trackback section below for more information.]
I've been using iPhoto and a .Mac account to setup my photo albums. It's so freakin' easy it's hard to say 'no' to. But it's also a one-trick pony. I can't do that whole moblog thing with it. Plus I have a lot more space on this server.
Now I just need to setup Gallery to interface with Movable Type. I love my job but it would be cool to figure out a way to get paid to tinker as a side thing. :)
Oh, and if you've got a cellphone that plays MP3s, here's a sweet-ass little jingle for your ringtone. Those of you who know me and the cellphones that I've owned over the years, know that there's one particular song that I have always programmed in for my ringer---not the one I'm giving you---I have to stay somewhat unique. I am very excited that now I can actually use a bit of the real song on my phone. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I will say, "I pity the foo' who don't love my ringtone!"

Thanks so much for all of your work in detailing the V600 phone. I've been scrounging information off the 'net about this phone, and your info was very valuable.
I've got a powerbook and through your instructions, my 'book can connect to the web through my v600.
I've got a question for you... I'm a Cingular customer in Seattle. I'm on my 3rd v600 phone. All phones, now even my 3rd one, have trouble with the input keys/buttons. Many times I will push a number, and it won't register in the phone. Sometimes it will register, but no sound will be audible. Have you had this problem? It does not happen every call, but happens at least a few times a day.
Thanks for a great site!

You're very welcome. I'm glad I could help.
That's a good question. Now that I think about it, I guess there have been a few times that I've thought I pressed certain keys like while dialing, only to realize later that they hadn't registered. I don't think that it's happened much but now that you've mentioned it, I'll be on the lookout for it.
