Ok so i am very bored at this moment .... I have been day dreaming and have come up with an idea! I have an old battered Sony Ericsson W810i that i think we esato members should give a world tour.And have photos of its journey just for a bit off fun to liven up easto a bit.
So the question is????? Where Who and where shall we send it to first????
Just a bit of fun
Lee
W810 world tour
I think that it should only be sent to regular posters,so that they don't nick it!
When someone gets it,they should take pictures of the phone by landmarks of where they are from- I.e a member holding the phone by big ben, those pictures will be uploaded to esato straight away
Then once its made its way back to me, i then upload them all to the thread
Here is an update of the list PM me if i have missed you

fantastic idea!! ill go first!
stick a big memory card in it and each member can take pictures of where they are from
Posted by garlic_bread

I'll certainly be in on it!
Brilliant idea mate! What do we do about a SIM card though?
I have loads lying about, so I could send one.
Posted by garlic_bread
we il provide the sim in the phone, but the w810 is not working!!!!
have a samsung slidy thing? j700?????

maybe it should be a SE considering esato is mainly a
forum.
maybe someone else has a spare one?
Posted by garlic_bread
yer ist should def be a sony ericsson!!! well if someone can fix them that could be its first stop
Posted by dicky
ive just remembered! ive got an s700
we can use that!! only problem is ,its only got a small card in it (16/32mb)
Posted by garlic_bread
it is the battery just tried the one out of my trusty t250i
any one in the world witha spare batt?
Posted by dicky
are you still using the t250? if not put the battery in the w810. as you'll get the phone back once its been around the world!
Posted by garlic_bread
yes unfortunatly its my trusty phone
dose everthing i need easily
Posted by dicky
well we can use my s700 if you want, we just need a bigger memory card
Posted by garlic_bread
will a 512mb pro duo work if we have an adapter?
Posted by dicky
the s700 doesnt support pro duo, only duo. just remembered that the duo only supports up to 128mb so we may need to re think the phone model again!
Posted by masseur
well hang about. the S700 is 1.3mp and produces pics of about 200-250kb?
if my memory is right about all that, that still gives about 500 ish photos on a 128mb card so is still feasable
Posted by dicky
Good point,so has anyone got a 128mb card?
Posted by arien617
I have a 512mb MS PRO Duo with a MS Duo adapter.
Would that work?
Posted by garlic_bread
its alive so We have a the w810i world tour
i shall take the first photo then i shall send it on
Whos up for it then
Posted by garlic_bread
Well its to you first diky , then how about arien and massuer?
Posted by arien617
I'll gladly take it, and send it onwards to mass.
Posted by masseur
I'm off to Sydney and Townsville 3 week tomorrow so I'll be happy to take it, make a pic and send from there
Unfortunately, as mentioned, Pro doesn't work on S700. I've checked through my cards and I have 32mb, 64mb, 256mb and more, but unfortunately not 128mb
Posted by lukechris
I WILL
but what we taking a pic of when we get it?[ This Message was edited by: lukechris on 2009-04-02 19:19 ]
Posted by fatreg
I've got a 128mb M2..... but It'd need an adapter to work in an S700.....
But I can gladly donate that to the cause...
Posted by garlic_bread
we are back with the w810 as it is working fine now!
Posted by fatreg
So we need a big Duo pro?
I've got a 1gb one I don't use...
Posted by garlic_bread
that sounds good it has 512mb atm
Posted by dicky
I think 512 should be enough
Posted by lukechris
Yep but liek i sed if we get it sent on what do we actually take a pic of.?
Posted by tranced
this thread brought me a big smile. this' cheered me up a lot
Posted by garlic_bread
how about it heading your way tranced?
Posted by arien617
How would postage work?
Everyone just pays for postage, or do you think the receiver should reimburse the sender?
Posted by garlic_bread
I think postage should just be paid as you send it if your willing to take part.
Posted by dicky
Take pictures of sights/scenary of where your from
Posted by masseur
similar to boba's ESATO - all around the world
I really like this idea!

yup and you will get it...after Arien probably. but we still need more people.
Posted by arien617
Can we not just start it off, then build up the list?
Let garlic_bread handle the route the phone will take.
Posted by lukechris
Yep garlic_bread edit the first post and put the list of names down please, and put a few rules for entry, you must have been at esato for over 3 months (so we dont get poeple nickin the phone!)
