Here is Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2. There's also a VNC client for the Ericsson P800 (Auf Deutsch!) written by Gino Micacchi with some more screenshots here and here."

    oh sweet, as demonstrated via the pictures, using VNC from my mobile would allow me to check the status of my KaZaA downloads or check my email for my latest RIAA subpoena!

  2. Screen too small for VNC by Psiren · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can see the ssh client being semi-useful, but the screen is just too small to do anything much with VNC. This is one of the advantages of *nix imho, anything you can do in the gui, you're likely to be able to do on the command line. More often than not faster too.

      You can do that natively with Opera on the P800. Their small-screen rendering is _that_ good.

      A tiny screen is better than no screen when you're trying to fix something.

    The company I work for, Idokorro Mobile, has a working client (in beta) for the Nokia 3650 & 6800. Cool stuff.

  5. Can't imagine how slow VNC would be on a cell by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think I'd break my phone out of frustration long before I got logged in.

    I thought it was illegal to encrypt over wireless connections

    That'd go a fair way to explaining WEP.
