Visited the Fleet Air Arm museum www.fleetairarm.com

Anyone else been???

I liked the Carrier experience thing (ok it was a bit lame, but still made it all a bit more exciting!!)!! Thumbs Up

Don't think anyone has been. How did you feel discovering a museum? Mind blowing experience I would imagine.

I didn't really 'discover' it ... I am fairly sure someone found it before me .... ... .... like the zillion people that were already there when I arrived!! Very Happy

So even if he did have a flash it would only be an L.E.D one which would have probably made the pictures worse.

K880i has a xenon flash, and I'm sure it's not the only one.

Well the last time I took an interest in phones they all had L.E.D flashes and The Gadget Show hasn't told me anything different Laughing

That's the reason I love my K750i. I don't see iPhones having a torch. It comes in so much handy when trying to look at stuff in a dark garage.

I nearly mentioned that a white screen doesn't count as a torch in my post but thought people would no better.

Making your screen white does not work as a good torch.

My points stands, the iPhone doesn't have a torch.

My iphone probably makes a better torch with a white screen, than your LED flash, it really is quite bright.

But my L.E.D light is more focussed.

EDIT: Just tested this with my sister's iPod touch. It was pathetic compared to my phone.
