Fixed that for ya'.

(...but software is based on maps, also none of which are up to date - maybe good enough, but things are constantly changing)

I just bought a Samsung Blackjack II recently. Has a built in 2.0 MP camera and a GPS. Plus it's a GSM phone :).
Using the GPS does use up the battery pretty fast.
I understand solar works really well in Africa, though.

I took the Technician test a couple of weeks ago - 92% :). I really like the HamTestOnline site. I spent a few evenings studying with it last fall and retained it over the winter until I could take the test.
