Thank you very much pelago.. I don't mind who gets the karma.. I just hope this function will be built in to the N900.. Thanks everyone again..

As requested, I have split the idea into two solutions. Feel free to add your own solutions and vote. See http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...all_recording/

Sounds like one of the useful optional features. I'm definitly looking forward to the point, where I'm being able to record a call & instantly upload it to a filehoster and then send a link to my friend in skypechat to the file and he can hear what I talked about with the other person almost instantly. That's my definition of Online as it happens!

In the US, the legality depends on the state in which you are located at the time you are on the call. In some states, only one party's consent is required, thus if you are recording the call, there is no notification requirements.

In others, both parties to the call must be notified. This is why many programs and devices that record calls emit a regular beeping noise.

That's been my experience too

So glad were all on the same boat..Any ideas on how to fixed this one? I hope to see replies soon..

The N6230i had this feature, but for "legal purposes" when it was engaged it would provide a small semi-audible "pulse" tone every 10 seconds. (It was a "beep" similar to most answering machine tones, at slightly above background noise levels.) This was to warn/remind all parties involved that the call was being recorded. Most major call centers that record calls do this, including fraud lines for credit cards and the like.

I do miss this option on the N900, and would love to see it implemented. It's not something I used regularly, but it was a nice feature to have when I was driving and the caller had info I needed to use later, like a customer address or contact info. (It was menu item #5, so a quick menu-5 hit was enough to start/stop it, and it auto-saved with a time-stamp filename.)

And technically, in the US there are two sets of laws in most states. One that determines when it's legal to record conversations (which is almost always when you're part of it), and when that recording can be used as evidence in a court of law.

most of the phone dont' come with it as built-in and i believe it's due to legal issues in some countries. if it's as a feature by add-on, nokia have no liability on this add-on.

Nokia is not liable either way, as recording equipment is not illegal. I could hold a recorder near my phone and still record. It is up to me to obey the law, not the company that sells me the phone.

Ford is not legally responsible for making cars that go 200 Km/h. You are for not slowing down.

Additionally, where I'm from it's legal to record your conversations (recording is OK as long as one party knows the conversation is being recorded).

This feature would be invaluable for "writing down" numbers, addresses, you know, stuff you forget as soon as you press the red button.

So, uhm, +1?

symbian 3rd (n95, n82) = use UVR (Ultimate Voice Recorder)
palm os (treo, centro) = use CallRec

>> all with auto recorder/stop calls
