Well I did disable the flash in that first pic. Exposure, ISO and sharpness etc I ignore.

After Nokia dumping the N900 a few guys started a Community SSU, which basically means they will release updates for the OS. New MediaPlayer is on the planning, fixes in email client and desktop ----> Nice

Glad to here that the community are still keeping it alive. I may one day pick one up to fiddle around with.

Well its getting 'dated' fast like every piece of technology. Only great thing about it is all the hacky stuff you can do with it.

If I had to buy a phone now it would be an Android. But i dont mind doing another year with this nokia

Android is always tempting. I get bored with it oh so quickly though. Still might pick up a tablet Android to avoid getting a second phone. Will be interesting to see where Android goes with the impending Oracle law suit.

Worst case scenario is one pile of cash is going from 1 giant to the other.

Tablets are nice, i will save some money for a htpc / home server. I'll let the tablets mature for a year or two.

I have a video on my phone that I took when holding it in portrait (top to bottom). When played back on the computer it plays side ways in landscape. Any programs that I can use to flip it the right way up?

Movie editting apps can do this. DOnt know if Windows Movie Maker can do it but you can try. Import the video, add to timeline and try to rotate the clip. You will lose some quality.

There might be easier and lossless solutions. I dont know

Tried movie maker. It seems to work but inverts the image so it's like watching the existing video in a mirror. Either way when I save it I only get a movie maker project file. How do I save the actual video file?

Export or something like that. I am not sure.

Ctrl+G saves the project as a MSWMM (Media Maker extension), but do Ctrl+P and you'll be able to export it to various formats (AVI, WMV, etc). You can also click the option in the File submenu but I don't know how is it called in the English program. I think it must be 1) Open New File, 2) Open Exsiting Project, 3) Save Project, 4) Save Project As and 5) Save movie as (or whatever it's called, that's the option you need to export it to an actual video file).

When it comes to cropping/resizing/rotating videos, I don't recommend W Movie Maker at all, I prefer to do that with Format Factory (used to do it with imTOO).

Just turned off the flash... N8 did the rest. Pretty noisy image but I like it nonetheless. Well composed and well exposed.

I'm taking photos of everything just like Gerard forecasted
