After some web searches, a piece of US$8 software developed by a Chinese Developer known as QuickDo (previously known as mQuickDo) surfaced. There is one catch, the software is available from Cydia Installer and not from Apple iPhone App Store. Cydia Installer can only run on a "Jailbreak" iPhone.To get a home for this homeless iPhone, here is what was done to it:Use iTune to backup and updated iPhone to OS 3.1.2.Download PwnageTool version 3.1.4 (Search).Use Expert mode - General Settings to check off "Activate the phone".

Nokia E-51 2 Megapixel CameraThe camera takes only 3 seconds to startup and about 2 seconds to snap a shot. By the way, the Nokia E51 has a rather loud simulated shutter sound that cannot be disabled (not even by plugging in the headphones) - probably for security reason. This shutter sound is intentional by design, so as to stop you from taking pictures without the knowledge of the subject.Here is a shot taken with the E51 build-in 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom. The original image is 1,600 x 1,200 pixel. Reduced here to 480 x 320 so that it can be rendered on this pageSunset along Sungei Bedok, Singapore. On the left are some town houses (The Springfield) and in fore front is the new Richland Building.Here is a low lighting shot of Esplanade Concert Hall.
