Thaaanks mate
Actually I used to have a similar one on my old website,..but it wasnt exactly the same.
This new model is shorter, more compact, the colordisplay is bigger, and there's been made quite a lot of changes to it.
I did the "old version" in a silvermetallic too. Might wanna try that on this one too
I actually like this model a lot myself,..I had the 6210,..nice phone.
Funny thing,..someone in the Danish mobile magazine asked, where these models could be bought, hehe.
(that was after I was interviewed to the magazine, about my remodelled phones, and there were these pictures in the mag).
The most popular one is the silvermetallic 8000 model (the one that looks like an altered 8810).
A website/store in DK asked if they could use this model on their front-page on the web too
Another funny thing is, the store where I bought my T68, now sells T68's with one of my logos in them, hihi.
They say it sells better that way
Right now I'm working on some SE-models and a few others,..I'll post them as soon as they are ready

Superluminova > The pen is from Wacom. Its actually pretty standard, its called Graphire. It comes with a tablet, pen, and a small wireless mouse.
Its about $ 120.
I could have gone for one that was even more professional, but they cost about 4 times as much,..for the smallest one
I didnt really want to spend that much money at that time.
I might go for an Intuos A4 size model the next time,..it would make remodelling/drawing a bit easier, because its a higher resolution pen.
I dont think it will make my remodelled versions THAT much better, if I were to use a pen 4 times more expensive, than the one I use know, it basically comes down to "your skills",..not the pen, if you know what I mean
At the same time, I know my photo/vector-programs very well,..and I do a lot of freehand-drawing, and that of course helps this too
I believe the Graphire pen would be "enough" for most people. Its got nice features, quite good resolution.
With the Graphire pen you have some options, e.g. settings pressure on the pen,..right-click options, and when you turn the pen around it will work as an eraser,..smart
These pens are very good,..and they do get the job done. I couldnt really work without them.

Edward > thanks
Nope, I dont have any joystick-problems, and I didnt have any on the T68m neither.

Sounds really hard though. Is it?
Posted by jh67
Mark ; You mean the "remodelling-thing" ?
Its really funny
I do actually make it a bit harder on myself, because I dont just draw a new phone on a paper, and color it,...that would be easy,.BUT you wouldnt get a very realistic "3D-look". Thats why I use a "basic-model", and then remodel it.
It takes a long time to do these phones,..also because I'm a perfectionist,..I want every little detail to be right,..not just "blurred out" like you see with some remodelled photos.
I usually do about 15-50 drawings/sketches, before actually starting on the pc.
(for the silvermetallic 8000 serie, I believe I did some 50-70 drawings, and then suddenly I knew i hit the "right thing",..I could see it)
And of course I have to get the idea first, before even drawing it.
So its very time-consuming. All the remodelling shapes, colors, and so on,..and all the time, I have to think in 3 Dimensional, meaning getting the shades, lights and so on, right as well.
Just a single button that need to be shaped differently or made up, can take a long time.
It doesnt work, if a button looks 2 dimensional/or like a drawing, and the rest of the phone is 3 dimensional
With all this work behind, thats also why I'm always quite happy to show a new creation.
Its always exciting to hear what other people think, and if they have the same opinion as one self
The best design-experience I've had, was when I actually stood with the Bluespoon in my hand
This little thing I put so many hours into creating,..that was cool
Hope to get a lot more of those, hehe.

Superluminova > Oupss forget the last things, hehe.
I do these remodelling things in Corel-photopaint. I worked with this program for a long time,..and know every command, brush,cloning-tools and so on. In my opinion this is the best program for these kind of works. Got far better tools and options than almost any other program I know of.
When I work as a webdesigner, I basically use photoshop and Illustrator,..those are the good ones for webdesign.
CorelDraw, Flash, 3Dmax and some other programs I use sometimes.
I bought my Wacom pen in a computer-online store here in DK.
I believe a lot of the larger/specialized computer-stores have them.

That does sound hard to do.. I don't think I could do that, I am good at graphic design I can draw really well. But that I think is going a bit far..
Good stuff though.. Well done Jan m8
Posted by jh67
Thanks mate
Well its worth all the "trouble". You just have to be very patient all the way, to get a good result.
But to do this, one really do need a pen (like the Wacom),..its impossible to do using a mouse
Basically I do all sorts of remodelling, also humans. A friend of mine (a girl) needed a new haircut,..and I did this by taken a picture of her, and then doing it on pc
Then printed it out, and she could take it along with her.
I've done some for "plastic surgery" too. I wont go into what that was, hehe
The remodelled pictures gives the persons a pretty good idea, of what the "real thing" will look like. Thats mainly why people ask me to do it.

First of all like your homepage
The background pictures are bmp type I can't store these on my phone when I convert them to gif the work ok.
Why do you make them like that (bitmap)??
Posted by jh67
Hi
Yes I noticed this part about my gif-images.
Actually they are gifs, not bmp. I never converted them to bmp.
It might be something in the coding/tags that does this,..or ????
I dont really know right now. Havent had the time yet to look it over.
Ok, its not really a problem, its just annoying
