sony ericsson k790i
I recently (Dec 5, 2007) bought a Sony Ericsson K790i CyberShot phone.
This is the first non-Nokia phone that I have owned, and it is turning out to be a joy indeed! I have started a mobile photography blog at wanderingpixels.blogspot.com and comments are welcome :-)
The phone has an integrated blogging feature, that allows one to quickly compose a title + text post around any photograph and send it to a linked Blogger.com blog directly over GPRS. Since GPRS access charges are the same even on roaming (at least for a Vodafone Mumbai customer roaming to Goa) I have been using this feature quite often.
The phone behaves relatively well with Linux, showing up either as USB mass storage, or as a USB serial device which I can read with the likes of wammu/gammu/gnokii. I'm going to setup an opensync pipe to evolution, when I find the time.
The top things that I like about the phone are the 200dpi screen, the 3.2MP camera with auto focus, a rocking macro mode, best-pic shot selection (burst) mode, and of course the Xenon flash. As you can probably notice, it is a great combination of a camera, phone, music player, and FM radio in one cool gadget.
Anyway, Wandering Pixels is going to be more active than my LJ, at least in the near future.
PS: I call it Evita, after Sony's internal development codename for the phone. The folks at Sony seem to have the right idea in naming their phones ;-) What do you say code_martial?
