Now for those who cannot go all the way to Disney Land, they can still get a virtual tour of the place -- courtesy Google Earth. Walt Disney World Resort is now harnessing the power of Google Earth to build an interactive, 3D tour of the resort that allows visitors plan and book vacations in advance.

The program will allow visitors virtually tour Walt Disney World's four theme parks as well as the 22 hotels and resorts. Visitors can click on images of Disney's favorite attractions and hotels to purchase tickets, make reservations, and map out vacations they wish.

The virtual tour of Disney World begins with a stratospheric view of the globe. A sky-dive takes visitors past the flatlands of Florida to a view of the Seven Seas Lagoon in the Magic Kingdom. Guests can then fly through the streets, and explore in and around hotels and resorts, down Main Street to Cinderella Castle, from the heights of The Tower of Terror to the bottom of the Tree of Life.

To enter the virtual park, users need to download Google Earth 4.3 and then enable the 'Gallery' folder within Google Earth, or select any of the 3D buildings within the resort. A video of Walt Disney World in 3D and instructions on how to get started are available here.

The phone is a gr8 piece only if doesnt has the sw bug which most ofthe 3110c`s have.The phone restarts on its own and sometimes keeps on doing that for hours.Otherwise the phone is quite good...all the features loaded within suitable range with decent looks.But I would recomment 5200 as it has same features and is almost the same range and DOESNT RESTARTS.If u dont mind slider phones,go for 5200. ...
