Mobile phones
Warning - This may seem a little random...
I'm looking for inspiration on things that I can make my phone do - so I thought I'd ask around. Do you guys in OZ (or elsewhere in the world) have any realy cool services that you can use your mobile for??? Also... Does anyone out there have a 'photo-messaging' (pxt) phone? If so, what do you use it for? Or, what would you like to be able to use it for! What sort of offers do your guys get on your phone services? We have just got a '$10 all you can txt' offer over here from one of the companies -Whats the best deal you guys can get?!? I know this may all seem a little random, but just humour me! Please!

Oh.. I'm guessing you might have a link to your PC? If not hopefully you can send it over GPRS..
Cheers Adam

pxt is good, i use it mainly for taking random pictures...
would be good if i could control other stuff, like being able to turn off the TV when i can't find the remote!!! i need a lighter also, can never find a lighter when you need it... better services would be good, like being able to find the nearest servo when your low on fuel (without ringing 123) and also active internet connections, so i can receive mail, and then follow its links (ie astinaGT messages, and reply straight away, if i so wished)

A mate has just got an NEC of some desciption that takes vids and pics and can send them from the phone to be instantly uploaded to his webspace.
pretty cool, and i think it's 10c for every pic he sends...
