K750i - 2007/02/11

Bought a Sony K750i today on T-Mobile. I am a fan of Sony equipment and impressed with this phone. My plan is to make some Java applications for it.

Having worked on Anywhere blogs the idea of having a service know your position would be very useful. Various companies offer this service for examples when the BBC did spring watch they used a company to provide them with longitude and lattitude possitions. This worked on CellID, however the cost for this type of service is expensive (50p a lookup). There has been lots of discussion on the Nokia forums on how to do this and varrious people have found how to extract the CellID. Without having a database of all the CellIDs and their positions this makes it tricky. I'm hoping to write a program based on LAC, for example 0113 is Leeds (Full list from offcom). This has it's limitations over CellID, but until there is a database of CellIDs lattitude and longitude then this is my prefered option.
