PhoneScoop reviews the Helio Kickflip, and notes, "The camera takes landscape-oriented pictures when the screen is in portrait orientation. It is difficult to realize this for a number of reasons. First, the viewfinder is always full screen, so while you think it is showing you the full view of a camera in the same orientation as the screen, it only shows you the very center section of the picture you're about to take. Even though the viewfinder icons are oriented vertically, you still think you're taking a horizontal picture. Second, when using the camera with the phone closed, you naturally want to hold it like a camera, especially since the camera button acts as the shutter button. However if you do this all your pictures will come out sideways and framed funny."

So Samsung is set to stun the world with the very first high speed access phone. HSDPA, a faster form of WCDMA and EDGE (if you want to put the comparison to GPRS / GSM) is set to be put to use in the coming CES in Las Vegas.
Augh! My wireless life is a mess right now. In the past five days, the BenQ P50 I’ve been using was doing hard resets like anything during a call. What sucks is that BenQ doesn’t have a packaged backup solution (like iPAQ backup) so I can just restore on the fly. So there. Until I find a new firmware update or have the lemon changed, I’m going back to my trusty SE k700i.
Oh noes, after the “HTC-Quanta scandal” that involved XDA units not being manufactured by OEMer HTC, they decided to brand their own Dopod line. One of these XDA lookalikes is the 818 Pro. Yup it sure does look like an XDA Atom. 
The Treo 650's manual says you can set a camera "Prompt Sound" and quickly explains how to do it. It's simple, really. The camera's menu (get the camera running and press the Menu button) offers a dropdown menu of the basic Treo sounds, including some ring tones. In the accompanying screenshot, I've selected Bach's Partita. Now why, you might ask, would I party to the partita?
So where's the elusive self timer on the Treo? Don't bother looking in the manual for this one - the information is between the lines. Actually, the Treo 650 implements a rare thrill among self timers, an adjustable-interval marvel, complete with a musical (if you choose) accompaniment. In fact, you can have it count down in your own voice or play your garage band's newest song, up to a full minute total duration.
Not into Bach? Choose your groove from the list. However, also notice that one of the Prompt Sound's pull down options is "Record New". It does exactly that. You get to speak or sing or play chords on your zither to create your personal, custom self timer prompt. When you select the option, the screen that appears reminds that Max Time is 00:03. In other words, three seconds. But wait, that's no way near all you can get.
