Sony Ericsson P990 business card scanning: Rubbish?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Martin Williams is chief tech officer of DCMI. Last week I was chatting to him about phones and he asked me if I scanned business cards. I explained that the E61 didn’t even have a camera and asked him if he used that function on the P990.

I remembered reading that it supported business card scanning.

‘It’s rubbish,’ he explained, ‘You have to take a picture of it with the camera…. never works.’

Oh dear.

Are there any P990 users who DO use the business card scanning application?

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@patphelan if you standby, I'll need to phone Ewan and pass on y our message. I'm one of Ewan's 300-strong ghost Twitter writing team. ;-)

@_netromworld_ that's a difficult choice... the iPhone 3GS is still a total delight to use -- and the camera is much, much improved...

@ilana could be good research for the next book though

@patphelan Ewan says hello

@nokiamobiletalk I had one for about a year -- still have it somewhere -- reliable if a little slow at times, good battery

@carlmartin wouldn't it be interesting if that arse was reading your tweets whilst sat opposite you? ;-)

@bensmithuk d'ya reckon folk are more likely to type in 'mobile industry review' into google? Rather than put the URL on it?
