Answers to ‘Call recording on the iPhone... or other mobiles’

Nokia 9300 / 9300i have a Recorder app... 

Thumb Up

Call recorder v 0.3 works just dandy and records calls to Nokia-native AMR format (readily converted to MP3/ OGG/ whatever).

Some of my Nokia's will do this 

I have had a variety of Communicators, 9000, 9110i, but nothing newer, and also 6310i. At least two of these allow call recording, probably the communicators and I would expect the newer versions (but check the otherwise fax-emasculated E90 carefully first in case they pulled this as well) to do so as it is a useful business function.

If you are looking at the iPhone, then this assumes that you wouldn't mind something else larger than the average phone and with more functions.

A handy feature 

I too wish more phones had this, my 3 year old Ericson F500i does (just hit a button during a call) and it was incredibly useful for reference as my mind tends to go blank during calls.

Alas, american influence (read: worries about lawsuits) in the boardrooms put paid to that, and every phone i've used since has only snapshot recording of 1 minute, and/or beeps during the call "to inform the caller that they are being recorded".

For fucks sake, i'm only recording an appointment date till i can get a pen, not spying on the pentagon!

I dunno about Ericsons nowadays, but forget about Nokias (without 3rd party apps), and as the iPhone is yank-made, theres NO bloody chance.

Nokia E61 

I know the Nokia E61 does - I keep on finding random recordings of calls when I've accidently hit the "record" button (which I do frequently when trying to change the volume of it).

my k850i 

can do this great, saves it in AAC format though but it has no 1 min limit nor does it do a beep. my old k750i did it and i have no reason to suspect the k800 or the k810 don't do it
