Hello,

Is there any service providing electronic catalogues of all the latest
cellular phones (with pictures)?

a database would be ideal.

I have a job right now to enter these descriptions, and i'm doing
google searches and taking info. from various sites ... very time
consuming!

any help appreciated

Thank you,

And, presumably you haven't infringed any coprights by taking material from
someone else's website without asking if you can have it? Just a thought.

Why not email the major 'phone suppliers and tell them of your requirements
and see if they're willing to help and perhaps reduce your workload? I'm
sure they won't assist you.

Nothing is "free" without the expressed consent of the owner, and
everything you touch, smell, see, feel or hear is owned by someone. If
that someone isn't you, then it's someone else.

I'll presume that rep is employed by Motorola, but if that rep isn't an
attorney certified in copyright law, or able to provide you a verifiable
and signed statement on Motorola letterhead stationary, then the
information you've received is worth exactly what you paid for it. You
seem willing to accept what you presume to be the truth from someone you
don't know is responsibly qualified to provide you the truth. I'm not
trying to rain on your parade, I'm trying to help you understand a gap
in your logic tree.

No sarcasm intended or supposedly implied, just from my own experiences with
what seemed to be a straightforward request that got me nowhere. Also using
a logo from a company's site to promote them for their excellent service.
The latter almost got my arse sued as I didn't ask their permission before
adding the details to one of my web pages. I don't use them anymore.
