A Finnish company called Ekahau has a product called Site Survey that does map a wireless network visually and quite nicely, I might add.
We're currently planning a Wi-Fi network for our school as a final project and Site Survey seems to be a nice tool for figuring out the best places to set up APs so we get maximum coverage.
I got a 7650 this afternoon from work (whee me make MMS-messages, me get nice phone:) ) and I've gotta say that this thing just rocks.
I saw the phone on a mobile communications fair a few months ago and it was slow and buggy but the final version seems to be fast and reliable, no glitches yet... just came back from the bar where I snapped a nice bunch of photos which I can later use to embarass my friends;)
The screen is big (176x208), bright and clear, at least the same level as a good PDA. The phone can hold almost a hundred pics with the default quality setting which seems adequate, I only managed to snap a bit over 40 pics this evening although I had the phone in my hand to use / show to the curious for nearly the whole evening. Btw, gotta love the polyphonic ringtones, no more crappy beep-beep sounds, the midi tunes on this baby sound really really nice! I guess I'll have to grab the starwars theme midi or something to use as a ringtone, just to hear how good it sounds compared to the oldskool-phones:)
On the whole, the 7650 is a really nice gadget when disregarding the hefty price tag (about 800EUR in Finland) and the weight (154g). It sure as hell kicks the SonyEricsson T68i:s ass big time in speed, image quality, usability and of course in overall coolness. A definite must-have for any gagdet freak with enough dough.
Can't wait til Hantro publishes their MPEG-4 player/encoder for this baby.
