small stupid question. I am about to buy an 6600 & i've done a good deal of research on just about everything about phone.My only question is,say i install a program like camera fx or eti camcorder and also photoacute.Now if i open the camera appl,which program will start?or Is it that the base camera appl is strated & i've to go manually select the program that i want to run?or to simply put it can i install two different appl for the same purpose & if then which one will run first.
Thanks a lot

You can install as many apps that you can fit. They will not conflict. They will have individual icons for launching them in the menu. With camera apps the thing is that you can't run them at the same time, because they both can't control the camera simultaneously.

Hey thanks a lot man.Really appreciate that.

The shortcut camera key from the standby screen will always open the basic camera application (the one built in to the phone), if you are wanting to use a different one as N/A said you can install as many as you like but can only run one at a time, and all those ones are accessed through the main menu, by using a desktop icon
