DISQUS

Great competition!

Congrats, Mike! Nicely done.

We'll have to (finally) go for a drink in the New Year!

Heh cool :)

As far as call recording goes, my hunch says no. When it starts calling, it's actually doing so from the phone's dialer app, which means that my app is forced to quit - no background processes allowed! :(

I have an iPhone app currently being reviewed for the App Store which basically works as a SayNoTo0870 dialer.

You dial the 0870 number as usual, but when you hit call it goes off and finds a cheaper number and calls that instead. It's been "in review" for 9 days now, so hopefully it'll appear on the App Store any day now. It's called "0870".

I could never get my name @mac.com because someone else had it, but I was able to get it @me.com

It may be because @mac.com's user might have been a trial account, which had never been upgraded to a full account?

You could do this in Python on the S60 quite easily...

I guess the problem is, how many of your friend's numbers do you know? I can't think of a single number, other than my own, that I would remember in order to use this handset...

Wow, it looks *much* better on Mippin!

Is there an MP3 available?

Speaking of replacing the phonebook software, I finally got around to working on an idea I had. It's iPhone only at the moment, but in the future...?

It'll figure out if you're going to call an 0870 number (or anything else that doesn't usually come out of your free minutes), and will go off and find a cheaper one for you.

If this was an Android app, it could totally replace the default phonebook software. THAT would be cool...

I've just tried logging in with my OpenID, but once I've done that it still asks me to register in order to "connect" my account. Doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of OpenID?

You should be able to pull a username, email and photo from the sreg data...

Ewan, I emailed you about this last year... :P

You also get that message if you're out of signal, as I discovered when I was using a SE W850i

I came to this article to ask the exact same thing...OpenID please

I don't think people in Blyk's target age range would necessarily pay £20/month. I'm now on O2, and for £20/month I get 400 minutes and 1000 texts, plus unlimited O2 to O2 calls (on the Simplicity tariff).

That's more than enough for *most* people, so why would you choose to receive ads and have less than 300 minutes/texts in total, when you can have more than you'll ever need (and therefore never have to worry about reaching your limit) for exactly the same price?
