The 101st use for a Nokia E90 and the 102nd use for a Nokia N95...

[slitchfield]

Ho yes, don't say that we at AllAboutSymbian don't put devices through the real world wringer. Among all the other uses for my Nokia E90, one of the most useful has been as a mobile cinema (shown below) and Rafe's used his Nokia N95 to er.. check the pilot's flight data on an aircraft!

Read on in the full article.

How on Earth did you get a signal. I took my 95 on a Ryanair trip to and couldn't get a lock, also the cabin staff got shirty over my 'phone' being switched on.

I'm assumign Rafe (Biggles) was in a Spitfire with nothing overhead to block his signal.

Haha, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Nice work Rafe, pretty cool.

Children are so easy to please sometimes, its great. Anyway, i used to watch movies like that on my old 9500. There was an occasion when on a long cross-county train journey, i shared some good minutes of the movie "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" with a fellow lady passenger via that small widescreen (not true 16:9). It was fun and i showed her that similar can be done with her MDA Vario.

Good times.

Nice to see that someone has an E90 to play with! No word yet on when it will be available in the shops?

Was it really the internal N95 GPS or some mighty BT device?
I see a BT paired sign on the screens.

[Rafe]

It was the internal GPS. I had to hold it up to the windows (yes was getting some funny looks). The Bluetooth was an A2DP stereo headset. I was listening to music at the same time.

Now if I did that (having a big beard and darker skin). They would probably arrest me thinking I was trying to fix explosives to the window or something. He looked very suspicious and was acting all terrorist like the passenger next to me would say (a few wears later after my return from cuba). Hopefully the world will go back to being normal again some day soon.

How on Earth did the crew allow you to use a BT phone and the GPS?

i cant find any others relating to this story of the 102nd use? is there a link anywhere?

How did you get that position/trip distance screen? Is that built into the Maps application or is it a separate application?

There is a java program that lets you create 3D photos on your N95 (you need the glasses to view them in 3D of course). . . .

What's the name of that 3D software ?

Rafe, what bluetooth headphones are you using please? I havent been able to find anything suitable

Looks somewhat unlikely to me - although that altitude/altitude acceleration/speed combination might barely be possible (a special high altitude version has been brought quite a lot higher than 11 km, accelerated by diving - Spit's level max is stg. like 600 km/h - and is now pulling up again), I find it somewhat unlikely that any of the surviving examples would be stressed (and risked) like that .
