That is good Stuart. Surely if it becomes a problem if Paul and yourself were agreeable and too many people were being frustrated then we could either specifically write up the subject mobile or have another list. I think myself ensuring the subject title would be less confusing. I am well on the way now and have gone quiet on questions though I do have or two remaining. Just for now my question relates to N95. I want to know if I am having a telephone conversation, say with yourself or someone and it is a very important conversation. Then I might want to record the conversation. How would I do that? I know this is possible on some phones. I realize there are all the issues of legality when recording telephone conversations but I am thinking in terms of the person knowing that I am recording it and me having their permission to do so.
