"Its the 73, its got quite a good screen on it - its completely readable and you can do your e-mails on it. When it rings it tells me who is ringing which is quite useful. It doesn’t have a flash. My tutor had an A4 sheet of the times for all the semesters, every holiday for the next 10 years and I took a photo of that and it was perfect – you could read it all perfectly." [picture of Nokia 73 from Nokia UK]
This next photo is not the times for all the semesters but a photo of a recipe from a friend's cookery book! It is possible to share photos on Flickr without any extra software.

"Writing down notes helps you learn, so I have always written them down. But if it’s a phone number or something like that, I’ll often take a photo of it, because I don’t tend to have a pen on me. It’s mainly just for remembering things. If I see a poster with a web address on it, I’ll take a photo of it."
