Hey everyone,
Got a 'hopeful' question and am hoping for some suggestions or ways around this issue.
I work in a security concious environment where there has been a global ban within the organisation on unauthorised camera's which includes phones and PDA's with cameras.
I am working on suggestions on ways to get around this issue which I can put forward to my management to try to allow me to use my O2 mini. I was wondering if anyone had the same issue or whether they have come to some acceptable intermediate on the issue.
So far:
1) I have looked for a PDA phone without a camera - this I have found almost impossible. I also want it with a keyboard and wifi. This was hopeful I know but I haven't found a phone PDA yet without a camera in the first place.
2) Try to disable the camera - not sure if anyone has managed to do this for an O2 or even a similar PDA with a camera. I have heard that one of our management managed to remove the camera part on the phone. I have also heard of people damaging there lens (which I don't like the idea of). Was wondering if anyone has been able to remove there camera from their phone. I looked at the O2 but I was unable to remove the back where the camera was.
Luckily I had an old PDA so I have had to go to that but I really think the future is PDA and phone as it cuts back on that one extra thing I have to carry.
ANy suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
HZ
