I've created a sourceforge project for a little app I've been running on my phone for a while.

The original aim was just to get my phone to beep at me when my train got close to my station, but it now does a bit more than that: sends sms messages when you get to specific cell towers, tells you how late your train is running, Guido's clock.

You can find the project here:

http://anorak.sourceforge.net/

Eventually, I'd like to include uploading of train (or other public transport) locations to a web site, so others can use the site (and a phone) to see whether the trains are running on time.

Excellent application dude. I just started loving this application. I was trying to extend the application too, but couldn't find the proper info.

Here is what I wanted to do.
There is already a "Display Cell Info" option on the phone which displays the area name(in my case. btw, I'm in Chennai, India) of the cell phone tower. If I can get this info then there is no need for me to even enter descriptions for cell IDs that I encounter.
The app in this case will automatically populate the location description for each cell id instead of the user editing it everytime he encounters a new tower.

BTW, I'm a newbie to Python and mobile programming.

Thank you for the excellent application

Hi Madhu and welcome to the fantastic Pys60 dibo

Currently there are no modules in pys60 that can fetch the cell info display text. Positioning can be a better option then cellid but you need to have a gps device in that case
