Hello everybody,

3 days ago, i came back of my holiday. It was real good.
But, Yes there always is a but :D

Some pictures of mine were taking with my Herald, and it was dawn.
I can't see a thing because it's to dark.

Is there an seperate USB-flash or something? Wich would allow me to take pictures at night.

Thanks in advance,

ElProempie

unfortunatly not but you can build it youself
you'll need 1USB-miniusb cable
X number of LEDS depends on voltage.
find some miniusb schematics. specialy volt cables
and start building.

Quite a nifty idea that phonephlash product. Would be nicer if htc developed one as an add-on to the usb port though, which wouldn't look out of place.

Try this link if the one above doesn't work.

As another member pointed out, you could just use a pocket torch. I have one of these already on my keyring but would never have thought to use it for taking pics.

Some nice ideas...
