Why has no-one suggested a call blocking phone? We were plagued with nuisance calls until I installed a BT branded (I know, I know!) call blocking phone. Now everyone who isn't on my contacts list has to announce themselves before being passed through and, of course, the nuisance callers never do. If they did, I can refuse to accept the call and block any future attempts. Oh, and I use the Post Office for my telephone line not BT.
Simples!
Less than two months old and my Defy succumbed to the dreaded earpiece speaker failure. Been waiting nearly 4 weeks for it to be repaired. Absolute shambles. Motorola should have replaced faulty phones but, of course, they don't officially recognise that they have a problem. They have done untold damage to their reputation. When will manufacturers recognise that consumers will have more respect for them when they openly admit to their problems and put them right quickly. Beware, there may still be some faulty phones out there but you will never know because Motorola will not disclose which batches were affected.
Great phone (despite Motoblur) piss poor customer support.
There isn't a specific version of Digikam for Gnome but if you are using Ubuntu you can install it to the Gnome environment from the standard repositories. The necessary KDE libraries that it needs to run are installed along with Digikam.
I add my vote for Digikam and, yes, I do use it under Gnome.
