The new Orange SPV M700 (aka HTC Trinity) has put in an appearance in the latest Orange catalogue in the ‘Coming Soon’ section.
We’re not sure what they mean by ‘coming soon’ but hopefully it will be available by Christmas!

Over the past week I’ve had no less than four people email me about problems that they are having with the camera on their HTC TyTN or Orange M3100.
According to their reports, when trying to use the camera they are presented with the following error message: “Can not start camera! Can not start camera!” (the message is repeated twice) and then the camera application quits.
Apparantly the problem is not resolved by rebooting the handset.
I’d like to hear from anyone else that’s experiencing this problem especially if you know how to resolve it! Not having seen this problem myself I’m not able to offer any advice, I’m assuming that a hard reset would cure it but that seems rather drastic.

Nikon have just announced their latest digital SLR camera, the Nikon D40.
“Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the D40, a new interchangeable-lens digital SLR that combines the brilliant performance of world-famous Nikkor interchangeable lenses and the practicality of a remarkably small and light camera body. The D40 has been designed with
handling and performance advantages that do away with the frustrations often associated with compact digital cameras, making it ideal for anyone who wants to capture spectacular digital pictures without complications.
Thanks to Nikon’s leading digital and optical technologies, the D40 makes it amazingly simple to capture beautiful pictures in almost any situation. The D40’s body* is light and compact, making it easy to carry anywhere, and its design incorporates fewer potentially confusing controls and other distractions, allowing anyone to take breathtaking pictures while eliminating the need to “learn” photography.“
The D40 features a high-resolution 6.1-effective-megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor and a highly advanced Nikon Image Processing Engine. These combine to produce exceptional image detail with true, vivid colors. Nikon’s exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II assures accurate exposure control even in difficult lighting conditions. Using its 420-pixel sensor, the D40 instantly assesses and compares each scene’s brightness, contrast and color with its built-in database of information from over 30,000 real-world lighting scenarios, then instantaneously determines and sets the accurate exposure.
It will be interesting to see the D40 in action as 6.1 megapixels may seem low to some poeple but Nikon are putting the emphasis on quality rather than quantity. I need to get my hands on one!
