I love my e61i... (an American's perspective + a f...

Folks, I've had my e61i for a few days now. I bought an import unit for use on Cingular (AT&T). I chose the e61i because of its messaging capabilities and nonsense-free, meat-and-potatoes functionality. No silly games, no garish skins, etc. And I am not a business user! I just wanted a good phone with a powerful contact manager. Nice additions would be 3G (for the future) with a good web browser. Pure perks would be a camera with video capability. The e61i fit the whole spectrum!
Previously, I'd been using a RAZR from "the competition". I was an early adopter of the RAZR and I regretted it after only a few hour. What a terrible phone! It's a gorgeous physical design, but the software is absolute garbage!
Then I had a Treo. Much better phone than the RAZR. But it broke. First mobile I've ever had break. Messaging was squirrely, though, and email was practically unusable.
Being a first-time user of a Symbian/S60 phone, I was unsure what to expect. I can tell you that after using this thing for email and messaging for a few days, I am sold on S60! I only had a few minor issues I needed to resolve (such as importing my self-signing CA's root certificate into the device so that it would not pester me due to an untrusted cert when retrieving my IMAP mail with TLS).
However, I do have a few questions...
1. Mail for Exchange put up handy "you have x new messages" on the standby screen, but regular mailboxes don't do this. At least, I can't find out how. Is this a setting somewhere?
2. Customizing the standby screen. Is this possible? There are application shortcuts up there -- I'd like to change those to applications that *I* use.
3. "Access Point Groups" are great, but they don't seem to be configurable for the web browser. In the web browser, I can't select an Access Point Group for access; I only have access to WLAN and available packet networks from my carrier. I've noticed that many downloadable apps don't recognize Access Point Groups either.
4. Where are all the good open-source/freeware apps? I've searched, but all of the software sites seem to be pushing the same handful of apps that are commercial or fake-freeware (aka trialware)
5. In my car (with has bluetooth hands-free), my RAZR and Treo would display signal-strength on the car's LCD in the center console. With the e61i, I just have a little icon that seems to indicate that I'm on a network (the typical key-shaped glyph). Is this normal? (Conversely, with the e61i, my custom ringers are played through the speakers when I receive calls -- something the RAZR or Treo did not do at all.)
My only real complaint for Nokia has to be regarding some of the human factor issues... Name, I'd love to see more common functions available quickly with fewer button presses. A perfect example would be when I read an SMS. If I press the center button, the default action is to go into a "Call" menu. This is not really intuitive as I am in a text messaging context. The first option should be "Reply". As it is now, I have to arrow-down away from "Call" in order to select "Reply" and then select again. That's quite a few button presses!
One area where Nokia's really hit the nail on the head is in the multimedia message composer. If I go to "Insert New" and select picture of video, the whole process is seamless! I go to the camera, take a pic, and if I am not happy with the photo I've taken, I can just keep going until I get it right. It's all kept in the context of composing a multimedia message. The camera app doesn't take my back to a main menu somwhere, or put me in a confusing place. It's all fluid and seemless!
Other than that, so far so good. The battery lasts quite a while, the keyboard works well, the apps are solid, and the messaging is simply amazing!

I've never used any of the E Series and have often wondered how they stack up compared to their N Series counterpart !
I can say from the freeware Symbian 60 side of things - precious few (useful !) applications exist. It's one of the reasons why I've downloaded Nokia's own freeware development environment (as I'd also like to get back into programming), but unfortunately I never get round to kicking a project off !

Looking for a white hat; iPhone 4 stolen while in Afghanistan

For my 21st anniversary of military service my wife got me an iPhone 4 on the release date. Life was good! 6 weeks after getting my new toy I was on a plane for Afghanistan. Life wasn't so good. Anyway, who am I to complain since I raised my right hand. When I arrived at a major base awaiting my assignment I was given orders to a real **** hole. I'm not talking a normal Afghanistan hole but one of those places where when people in Afghanistan find out where you're going they tell you how sorry they are.
After travelling to my hole which was going to be home for the next year we finally ended up on a major base for a day of rest. Let me tell you…8 days of travel without much rest, little food, and no showers isn’t conducive to good hygiene. No wonder I got so many dirty looks. Anyway, it was very warm when we arrived and the sewage pond was in full force. My buddy threw up 15 minutes after getting off the bird the smell was so bad. Since I have the stomach of a billy goat I was alright but I wasn't happy.
We were told to get a few hours of rest since our flight was going to leave in 12 hours. The tent they put us in was B.O. city. There were a few hundred guys who stunk worse than me all crammed into this tent full of bunk beds. To top it off the air conditioner was busted in the middle of August. Great, at least it was just 12 hours as we passed through. When I laid down I realized my bed was something magicians would use as a torture test. The springs could have supported a tank as they pushed into my back. Somehow through all of that I managed to doze off for a bit before the first rocket hit. My buddies went for cover but I was so mad the Taliban had the audacity to shoot at me I just laid there and hoped they were bad shots. Luckily they had a terrible aim but they did manage to hit the poop pond. The sewage pond caught on fire due to the impact and the fact a few hundred gallons of diesel had managed to spill into the pond. Now my tent smelled like B.O., diesel, and burning crap. It couldn’t get any worse I thought.
My aforementioned buddies who went shrieking like little girls after the first rocket were by now in the fetal position. One of the guys wasn’t so lucky though; when he took off for cover he tripped on a pair of boots and went headfirst into a bed frame. He was out cold. What a noob. Everyone acts different the first time they get shot at but come on, show some respect. Luckily a Navy Corpsman was in our tent and he stitched him up in a jiffy…just a gash on the forehead. Just FYI, the guy who hit his head is a d-bag and will probably morph the story into him chasing Bin Laden across the desert with nothing but a plastic spork while riding a uni-cycle. If you see a YouTube video of a guy who looks like Goober and talks like Snooki detailing his exploits while chasing 10,000 Taliban you’ll know it’s him.
That’s when it happened. While I was taking care of my troop who was gunning for a Purple Heart someone decided to take my iPhone 4 out of my backpack (he will be referred to as d-bag #2 from here on out). D-bag #2 went past the dirty underwear and half eaten MRE cookie and snagged my phone. I’m guessing he watched me put it in there. I didn’t know it at the time because I was trying to get some rest. Here’s a tip for travelers: Always take a travel pillow and sheets wherever you go. My mattress was not only hard with springs out of a ’47 Edsel but it looked like it was used in 5000 **** movies. Every bodily fluid imaginable was present and clearly displayed. Somewhere Charlie Sheen is missing a mattress.
We finally got on a plane out of there a few hours later and started our journey to hells half acre. I opened my backpack which had never left my side except while tending to the previously discussed d-bag #1 and found nothing in my iPhone case. I put it in that case just 6 hours previous. After a frantic search of my surroundings I realized it was gone.
After another 4 days of travel with even less sleep and worse food I finally managed to make it to my little corner of ****. The first thing I did was call my wife to let her know I made it safe. When she picked up the phone she started crying, cussing, and yelling at me. The person who took my phone sent my wife a text message. The message appeared like it came from me and said I’d been shot and was dying. Now the first thing that should have gone through my mind was for me to console my wife. Sadly it wasn’t. Since I was in the middle of Afghanistan with NO cell coverage the only plausible way a text message could have been sent was by someone hitting a hotspot and using the text app I’d downloaded. I was more ****** he knew where a hotspot was and didn’t pass the info than anything else! After getting back on “husband track” I calmed her down and told her to call AT&T and report the phone stolen. This happened in August BTW which was before I was introduced to Mobile Me. Also, the only tracking apps I had were things the bad guy would have had to open up.
Now I was really mad. My phone was stolen, my wife was afraid for my life and couldn’t get in touch with me, and I had no way to play Angry Birds. Afghanistan does have some cell service BTW and AT&T was gracious enough to unlock the phone three days prior to d-bag #2 relieving me of my possession. Let’s be honest here and admit we all need our phones. I’m different in that I really NEEDED my phone. I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury 2 years earlier and needed the games designed to stimulate neural activity (no, we’re not talking Pac Man even though I do think Ms. Pac Man is really cute). No, I needed my phone because I had apps designed to help people with brain injuries.
In order to fix the situation I tried to call Apple but they conveniently don’t list Steve Job’s phone number (or any other number for that matter). I even looked up the designers of the iPhone on Facebook and sent them messages. For some reason they never answered. Since I’m a little older I figured I’d try the old fashioned way and sent personal letters to half of Apple’s top management. They KNOW where my iPhone is. It would take a few seconds to look up my IMEI and serial number.
Figuring I’d never get a response from Apple (figured correctly) I had my wife shell out $800 for another iPhone 4 and had her ship it to me. I even had her send it in an expensive Pelican case that cost me $100. Somewhere between the post office in my town and middle of nowhere Afghanistan the box with my new iPhone 4went missing. FML. I waited 3 months for it and it never found its way to me. I was working with USPS since my wife insured the box but that’s another story.
Ok, here’s where I’m hoping someone can help. Since I am in the middle of nowhere Afghanistan I can’t get a police report. The police department in my hometown said they are too busy to help and even if they could they would need some kind of report from Afghanistan. I’m thinking the donuts are laced with weed in my hometown. The local Afghani’s tend their herds, grow huge amounts of pot, enjoy man love Thursday, and kill Americans (not necessarily in that order). They don’t do police reports for missing iPhones. Most have never even heard of a phone. The military can’t do anything because they’re too busy putting warheads on foreheads.
I have in my possession a case without a phone. I also have an IMEI number and a serial number. I can also produce a screen shot of my iTunes showing my IMEI as well as a text file with all of the info proving it’s mine. I need a white hat or disgruntled AT&T employee to help me out. I just want to know where my phone is. I’m in Afghanistan for the next 8 months so I’m not going to hunt anyone down. I would just like someone to tell me what town it’s in. I’ll then call the police department of that town and coordinate further communications between everyone. I don’t want to press charges. I just want my phone case to be full again.

Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.
Regards.

No problems to report!

Because I see people with problems with Aperture, I just want to say, I've been using Aperture for professional wedding, concert, and personal work, editing since it was first introduced. I have had as many as 60,000 images in the library, and had no problems other than speed when browsing/searching the entire library. I never have problems when dealing with real world editing of a single project. I now use iPhoto as my main import program, and reference files in Aperture for editing. Still... no problems with the database, or anything else. I'm guessing there are a few others out there who will also confirm that Aperture is a great and very usable application, even in this, it's early incarnation.

I'm another huge fan. I hope this thread gets read by people considering buying Aperture. Because Aperture had a distastrous first release, and because Adobe has a savage PR machine, there's a lot of misinformation out there about Aperture.
I bought the first copy of Aperture available in Toronto, and was extremely disappointed with how it ran on my G5 with its puny video card. Really wanted to like it, though. Transferred everything to Lightroom because of the performance issues. Truly hated everything about Lightroom, from it's modal operation to its ugly interface, to its nasty white balance on NEFs, but it got the job done until I bought a new computer. As soon as I had a shiny new MBP with a fast video card, I transferred everything back.
Aperture just thinks more the way I do. It's easy to compare multiple images, to adjust images while you're sorting and rating, to compare versions while you're adjusting. (Try comparing three images at 100% in Lightroom--oops, can't). You're not locked into a linear way of working through your pics. Love the loupe tool and the tooltip metadata display. Also find it very useful that the previews are so easily available to other apps in the media browser. I frequently roundtrip to Photoshop and from time to time to Capture NX (this is still an export/re-import situation).
There are a couple of develop tools I'd love to see in Aperture (lens/perspective correction, chromatic aberration fix/purple defringing). And in my fantasy world they'd implement something like the upoints and masks that Capture NX has.

We're all living in the stone age

I just LOVE how us as Americans buy the same phones year after year, just with slight upgrades. We are the only country using an outdated system known as "app store". Our country wants to make more and more money by keeping our phones outdated. AND WE'RE ALL STUPID ENOUGH TO KEEP BUYING THIER OLD CRAP!!!! I would like for all of you to do some research, I would like it if you all looked up how Japan keeps making their new phones with technology that is 30 years more advanced than ours. And they don't even have "app store" anymore because its so outdated. I'm sharing knowledge that Verizon and all the other phone companies don't want us to know, and if this post gets deleted, than its true.

Linux Operating System - Suitability for SAP

Dear All,
We are evaluating the Linux system for installation of SAP ECC60 , EP and BIW . Please let us know that how the Linux is better than any other OS system i.e. HP-UX, AIX, Solaries etc
Please reply...
Regards
Vimal

I am not an expert but a few chaps here are and love the thing. From my perspective using it it is a very easy thing to use with a lot of possible features due to its open source roots. If you don't like a tool then just find a better one.
Also I am a bit of a memory geek and I do like the way that Linux swaps are very easy to understand, in fact swaps are exactly what they should be, they do not include I/O or all memory is not mapped there to start with and so Linux is eally simple to understand.
As I said I'm not an expert but I am a Basis person of 14 years who finds it very easy to use. You can argue though that you get used to any OS but as some idea, we recommend Linux as the platform of choice now.

Keep your perspective!!

You have to keep this whole thing in a proper perspective. Apple has a nasty habit of making a change in their line exactly on month (29-30 days) after I buy their latest issue.
They did this after I bought my mini-tower G3, my iMac G4 and now this. After I bought the G3 I had a SCSI bonfire in the backyard. The people that bought their MBP a month or less, ago have to figure that this newest MBP will be obsolete in a mere 6 months, and YOU will have the upper-hand. Just think of what you will be getting for $1999.00:
the newest Intel 3 dual core
a terra byte HD
the newest firewire 1600
stock 16 Gigabyte RAM
and finally a 24" screen.
The problems will be:
runs too cold
so quite you fall asleep while writing you dissertation
CONSIDER HOW LUCKY YOU ARE AND RELAX.
iMac Intel Duo/MacBook Pro 2 Gigs RAM ea. Sony VAIO/ 3 keyboards 2 hands Mac OS X (10.4.7) iMac 20" Intel core duo-250Gig HD-2Gig RAM/Macbook Pro Parallels/80/120/160 HD's

Next time i blow a grand it will probably not be on a mac, lol!
I say probably because I really fallen in love with Apples hardware, despite all of its initial/current flaws. I am almost wishing that I never sold my 12" powerbook, even though it was slower at most tasks.
I didn't have a single problem with it in the year and a half I had it, and the MacBook Pro has been nothing but problematic... And yes, we can all put it down to being the first revision and all, but I thought Apple had more sense than to put out so many wonky/faulty machines without proper tests.
Also, where is their quality control? One of the many MBPs I had was scarred with a very deep, inch long scratch to the right of the Apple logo, and that was the most gut-wrenching box opening I have been through! Everything was perfect until it slipped (slowly) out of its fabric sleve (into my hand), and then the buzz was OVER!!! I almost threw up. lol
I will be getting my upgrade anywho... Because we, as in the people of the United Kingdom get better statutory rights as far as returning and exchanging is concerned. The American policies for Apple returns are extremely bad in comparison!

Great Firmware for E70 from the E61i?

Hello!
After wining an E61i recently and comparing the performance to my E70 I noted that the E61i software handles the memory far-far better than my E70 with the 3.x firmware. (The E61i had more than 20 MB free system memory after 2 days, while my E70 can get down to 11-12 MB in one day.)
As I noticed previously that the Firmware numbers of the E70 and the E61 for the 3.x firmware have been identical - sending the message that the firmware for the two phones are identical - I started to wonder, whether the firmware of the E61i would also run on the E70 especially because it is closer hardware wise than the E61 (without the i).
It would be great if Nokia would just release the same firmware for the E70 which they have now on the E61i.
I have had a discussion with Nokia Care, and here is the most relevant part:
"I was aware of the fact you wrote in your answer, that each phone has their own firmware updates. Acctually this was the very reason why I contacted you, to request from you to release the same firmware software awailable for the E61i also for the E70 so I would be able to upload it on my E70. If the firmware software for the E61i would be able to run on the E70 also, than it is only a matter of making the same software availableto be uploaded on the E70. That is what I am asking for.
I am happy to see that in your latest answer you do not claim any more that the E61i firmware would not run on the E70 but you only say, that it is not possible to upload that firmware on the E70. That is great news for
me, as it hints that it might just work fine on the E70 also if You make that exact same software available for the E70.
That is what I have been asking for.
I hope this clarifies my point, so could you please check with the E-series phone developers whether the firmware of the E61i would run on my E70? And so if it does, please release it for the E70 also!"
Nokia Care could not advise in this matter and they sent me here.
How should we proceed from here?
Best Regards!

I forgot to mention that I love my E70 and would like to unlock it to full potential by better memory handling.
The memory handling of the E61i is fantastic!
If they would not say that it is without FP1 I would belive it is an FP1 device...

Why can't I make a purchase in the American iTunes store?

I am a Canadian resident who would like to make a purchase in the US ITunes store. I don't know anyone in the US nor do I have a credit card with an American billing address. Is there any possible way for me to make a purchase in the American store, or am I pretty much screwed? I buy lots of music and all I want to do is give the US Store my money-why is this so hard? This wouldn't be an issue if the Canadian store just had what I am looking for (i.e. TV Shows!) -why does the selection vary from country to country anyway?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Again, It's not up to Apple. They would love to have every track available to everyone in the world. The record companies and other rights holder are different in every country, though, so they require separate negotiation by Apple for the rights in each country. And since the rights are held separately in different countries, they all restrict Apple (and every other legal download store) to selling only to users within that particular country.
So again, Apple can do nothing to change this unless and until the record companies arrive at a cross-border sales agreement, something I don't see happening anytime in the foreseeable future, even within the EU.

No entry in Ledger LoV while running Import Journal from Purchasing

Hi,
I am trying to run Import Journals in a GL responsibility:
GL Superuser > > Journal > Import > Run.
The Source is Purchasing.
However when I try to select the Ledger name from the LoV, there are no values.
Whats the solution to this?
One of my collegues said it might be a data access set issue and that I might have to set profile options.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for the helpful pointers.
In addition what I found out is that value Set being used for the 'Ledger' parameter is GL_SRS_JOURNAL_IMPORT_LEDGERS is based on the view gl_srs_ji_ledgers_v, which looks for records available in the GL_INTERFACE table for the given source. When there is no record available, then it is expected that this fail with message 'No entries found for List of Values'
In my case, the query " select * from gl_srs_ji_ledgers_v where je_source_name = 'Purchasing';" gives outputs which has no ledgers for the responsibility i am working with.
I have understood the reason for the problem but could someone help me remedy for this situation? What can I do to get a value in the dropdown for ledgers? Since I am in a functional role, can this be done from a functional perspective or is this an issue for the technical team?
Sorry for the bother but I am a newbie to Oracle apps.
Thanks in advance
Susovan

Item Source Display and LOV

I have an item that is of type 'Select List'. When I branch to the page I would like the value stored in the database to be the default value displaying but instead a random value in the LOV is displaying. I have entered my sql query in the Source field but it is not pulling and displaying that value as the default when I branch to the page.
Example
Item: P500_status
Source Query: Select status from table where id=:p500_id
Dynamic LOV: select distinct status from table
Source Query Result: Open
Dynamic LOV Result: Closed, Open, Pending, Reopened...
When the page displays, the item has the value of 'Closed' in it rather than displaying 'Open' and then listing the others in the drop-down. Is Source supposed to be ignored in this case?

Thanks for your quick responses. The example I posted above was an abbreviated version of what I'm trying to do.

SAP Business Objects 4.1 - American Date Format Issue

This issue is something that keeps arising, if your viewing a crystal report, or building a new Webi report in 4.1 and viewing it, the date format seems to come out as M/D/YYYY HH:MM:SS, this never happened in 4.0.
I will give an example, today I updated a 4.0 to 4.1 using the update path in a development server, and updated to 4.1 SP03 which is the latest. When I decided to write a Web Intelligence Report or create a Crystal report and publish this, all the date formats came out in American date format, and not the standard English one DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS anymore. However if I go to the Live server which I haven't yet updated and is still on 4.0 SP04 Patch 11 and perform exactly the same its in English format as it always was.
Can someone please enlighten me to what has changed from 4.0 to 4.1 in terms of configuration regarding the date formats changing.
My server regional settings are English, and using the default GMT date time, so is my machine. 4.0 works 4.1 doesn't work the same.
I have tried changing the .prm files in the connectionserver\dataaccess folder as well, this doesn't seem to make a difference and also used LOV's in universe objects and when using these in prompts you get ameican format. I have also changed the preferences in the BI Launch Pad to view English locale and the GMT date time for Greenwich Mean Time.
Please can someone advise or suggest where I am going wrong here and how to solve this.
Many Thanks

Thanks for your quick response. I have done the check on the universe design tool. I have tried the options - Migration forced and set English (UK). I purged the LOVs and refreshed. No luck as yet. Checked the locale and seems to be fine. When i change the BI launchpad - Web Intelligence preferences to HTML, then the LOV displays correctly - dd/mm/yyyy. The behaviour only occurs when displaying LOV in Applet mode. Maybe will have to look at some Java settings. Thanks
Added Update- I created a variable =GetPreferredViewingLocale() and tested in WEBI Report with a date object. When I use the BI launchpad Web intelligence Preference to HTML - it display EN_GB. When I use the BI launchpad Web intelligence Preference to Applet - it display EN_US. It seems to be taking preferred viewing locale as US in applet mode is there a way to fix this please.
Added Update - It was a bug on Infoview and has been resolved on SP4 . The ADAPT Ref is ADAPT01718291. Just finished testing on UAT, going Live next week with SP4.

When would Nokia update firemware for E61i ?

Half a year passed, E61i hasn't any update while E65 had one.
I do disappoint with the built-in Chinese input method and Not-hotkey.
I don't wanna be offensive, but..It's really suck! How can they be so perfunctory to throw such a moronic input method into a QWERTY keyboard phone ? I chose E61i just for the QWERTY keyboard, for efficient inputting. Otherwise, the truth is you can't input faster even than normal phone.. Because of not your typing speed, because of the moronic input method.
What I mentioned "Not-hotkey" means user can't one-pressing-call-out-item-in-MENU anymore, 'cause you have to plus holding the blue-function-key on E61i. I can't figure out what the purpose of this 'evolution' is till today yet..
Please, Nokia, please bring us a REALLY qwerty phone, not a 'looks like qwerty toy'..
Best regards

Dude, have you found any apps (or other means) of 'hard-locking' the embedded number-pad ?
I so love this device - but it pains me to have to use two hands for some applications.
Tell me there's a solution to this. ray:

E61i's bad s/w!!

Don't know if Nokia ppl are taking a note of the messages being posted here. I live in India and i just recently bought an E61i. Since then, even though i kinda love this ph but i'm disappointed to see a real **bleep**py s/w loaded on this device! I dont know how can Nokia release such a product with a prototype-grade s/w. Yes, the s/w hadn't matured enough to be productized. The s/w version of my set may be little old. And the latest may be some 2.xx.xxx. I know i will be advised to upgrade the s/w if i talk to Nokia but the fact remains, ppl have already cribbed and verified (saw in some other threads) that latest s/w also is of no use! Then!! what is the way out??
There are too many problems in this ph. Actually way too many to describe and write them here. Overall, I'm very disappointed Nokia!
just listing couple of problems here
(1) UI refresh rate is too bad! moving from one screen to another screen, you can see screen is not updated smoothly!
(2) response is very slow!
(3) It took a whole evening for me to transfer my contacts from previous ph to this one and then update them properly the way i want. i faced some inconvenience here as the Contacts options didn't allow me to change the type of the ph number from mobile to teleph! i had go a round about way!
(4) after spending a whole evening on contacts, today morning i just installed and uninstalled BB. and i found while uninstalling BB, all my contacts are wiped out! Can you imagine???
NOKIA!! what's going on with you?? where are you getting this s/w from??

My problem with my Nokia E61i.
1. I am using SplashID to record my notes. Its terrible slow compare to my old palm treo 600. I read an url last night that 1 user said, he try splashid in SonyErricson and seems much faster than in Nokia. So must be something different in Nokia Symbian S60 compare to SE Symbian UIQ
2. If I surfing to website www.detik.com using 3G, after several time it will quit itself
3. Sometime it restart itself
I am using FW 2.0633.65.01
But because I use voip so much in e61i, I have to stick with it, maybe if iphone 3g launched, I'll change to it.
Hope Nokia improve their Symbian stability
thanks

Perspective correction app recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a perspective correction app? Preferably one that works well with iPhoto?
There is DxO Perspective and CorrectPerspective on the App Store, both with very little or no reviews.
Thanks,
Rob.

That is one i'd love to have!

I love my e61i... (an American's perspective + a f...
