Hey,

I did a master reset on my phone and managed to loose the link for the EarthCam site. (not sure if its a standard on ALL P800's but is on Orange UK P800's, so forgive me if you dont know what im on about!!)

Does anyone know the link for the site so I can bookmark it again!!

Thanx!!
-------------------------------------------------------

Ok, sorry everyone. I found the link. Thanx anywayz!!

Yes,

You can basically goto http://mobile.earthcam.com & choose the P800 link.

It will setup your phone to enable you to view places such as Time Square and Paris and major cities live, on your phone (streaming).
Quite a cool thing to show off your phone

Note that you cannot access through dial-up, must be through GPRS!!

After updating my firmware to R2A, I can't seem to get the streaming video to work anymore (the Paris and Times Square live cams). It just says connecting but that I get an error afterwards...any ideas?

Thx

Bagel,

You have to be connected via GPRS to view the streaming content of that site (i.e. TimeSquare & Paris).

Connecting through WAP (dial-up), will not allow you to view the streaming content, and yes.....it'll just say "connecting" in the video application, but will not do anything.

Take Care

Wow that's cool. It works on my phone over the USB connected to my PC hooked up on the internet and Opera. Such a cool way to show off with your P800

Yeah, I guess the site was having difficulties. I can play them sometimes, from both opera or internet program, but sometimes get messages like "error 200" or "cannot play file". When it is playing, it rebuffers a fair bit, but that may be my carrier...

Will be great if they get the "my cam" working one day.

Rgds to all
