I just bought the NEC 343i this week. Could anyone tell me how I can send pictures from my 'Data' to another capable phone, please? I've read the instruction book but found it inadequate (or maybe it's just me?). After selecting the picture I clicked on 'Options' then 'Send as MMS'. A 'To:' box opened up and I inserted the 10-digit mobile phone number. After sending it successfully I immediately get a message back saying that the delivery failed because the address has a fatal error. I'm new to this so probably I'm doing something obviously wrong. Could anyone enlighten me, please? Many thanks.

I *tried* the N343i, but the O2 store couldn't demonstrate much in the way of imode services and the screen really sucks on it.

I have a bad feeling about the UK launch though. There have been a lot of TV adverts which are frankly forgettable and don't get the point across. I suspect I could do a better ad campaign - "WAP sucks. Imode is a bit better."

Yeah, I still don't get what i-mode is

[Jose_R.A.M]

Internet Mode. A wireless service launched in Japan in spring 1999 by NTT DoCoMo. I-Mode was licensed to operators in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Taiwan, where it operates over GPRS using WAP. I-mode delivers a huge range of services to subscribers and has proved enormously popular with some 30 million regular users. The revenue sharing model used for I-mode is being adopted by other operators as the basis for the new services enabled by GPRS and 3G.

It is a standard mini USB cable. You can find it in any computer shop.
The necessary software which includes a phone suite and the USB driver can be downloaded at: http://www.nec.fr/necmobile/next/accueil.php. It looks like a customized version of the Mobile Action phone suite.
Make sure that you do not connect the phone to the USB port before prompted during the installation of the phone suite! I did that in one of my computers when I first got the phone and cannot install the phone suite and the USB driver ever since.
