It seems to be a standing joke that you have to look like a dick whilst making a phone call on the Nokia N-Gage, unfortunately the truth is even worse.

If you see someone making a call on an N-Gage taco style remember one thing; the guy has actually chosen to look like a dick!

Did you know that a hands-free kit comes as standard equipment with an N-Gage? Or that Bluetooth the feature much touted for multi-player gaming, is also rather handy for use with a headset? Although admittedly a Bluetooth headset can make one look a little like Uhura from Star Trek!

If you're even half serious about C++ you'd be daft not to join these guys. The website has a huge number of book reviews and the mentored developers programmes are great for personal development. Their really good mailing lists (some open to non members) are a great resource too.

Possibly the best bit is the two magazines every two months, both written by members, one's a good general magazine covering all levels of C and C++, book reviews, some Java, some Python and general ACCU business. The other magazine Overload is superb, written by some of the top C++ developers in the World (did I mention that Bjarne was a member?), and is full of articles on leading C++ usage and design.
