@ Hobbster,
That new Samsung with the qwerty keyboard looks keeewl indeed, although the inside screen looks a bit on the small side, compared to other phones with that layout.
However, it looks like it's got much smaller dimensions compared to any HTC or Communicator..

@da wanqsta: I've been posting a lot because I've taken leave from work. Will be back to reporting the news from next week.
@jmash: Six weeks is way too long to wait.
@HOBBS: I was referring to the Moto's updated Z12 slider which basically comes wi-fi in a crappy package.
@ALL: Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Off topic,
LOL, as ya'll know, the pace is a lot more laid-back in East London SA; even the police and traffic cops, in hot pursuit of a stolen vehicle today, was at very slow speeds... as the stolen vehicle being driven along a busy EL road, was... wait for it.....a tractor.

LOL...once had a conversation with a business reporter from the Herald and he had no shame in telling me that news was so slow down there they could be reporting on something as "breaking news" two days after it happened.

School had barely opened here the other day when one of the prefects called me to the toilets, to show me where he'd found a stash of weed. A day later a Grade One boy brought a 6.35mm pistol to me; he'd found it lying outside his classroom. Apparently his friends thought it was a toy pistol. This at a primary school, guys... scary stuff, i tell ya.

Jesus Krypts,a gun lying outside a classroom.Thats a disaster waiting to happen.Thank goodness that kid brought it to you and didnt stash it in his bag to play with later.I hate guns.Hate hate hate them.

@ JC
Thats good,i hope you don't smoke bro.
@ Kryptik
Thats heavy!! Yah thank God that kid brought back the gun, realy scary stuff there, i wonder whos gun it was though. . .
@ Hobbs
Yep,its a beaut, I think NOKIA better watch Samsung, the G810 is a N95 on some steroids, i heard that at some point Samsung phones will play Ngage games, i hope NOKIA make this work to their advantage or otherwise we may see Samsung slowly creeping in to 30% market share and making NOKIA S60 users to Samsung S60 users lol!

@ Gucci, no way bro... There is nothing that I hate more than sigarette smoke, I get sick from it...

Hmmm okay, here is the deal.
Using the 1.8mbs hsdpa is free, you only pay for the data you send and recieve, (between 18c and R2/MB depending on your data subscription), so effectively you do not pay any "line rental" for the 1.8mbs hsdpa, you dont pay any for the use of gprs/edge/3g 384 either.
For the next 3 months, "line rental" on the 3.6/7.2mbs hsdpa will be free as an introductory offer. (yep, 7.2mbs is available, but not officially)
From April (i think) you will need to pay R49/month "line rental" on the 3.6/7.2mbs connection, however, the 1.8mbs, 384kbs, edge and gprs "line rental" will stay free.
Please note that only the faster speed service will be free for the next 3 months, you still pay normal data rates on the data you send and receive.
I use the term "line rental" to refer to subscription to the service as everyone in sa understands teh line rental part of the adsl service.
I hope this information helps.

LOL, I guess almost every chick enjoys some special effort and being 'put on a pedestal'.
Fortunately for me (and my wallet) the better half is not over-demanding when it comes to Valentines Day gifts etc.

Does anyone know what the percentage is for WAP usage amongst SA Cell Phone users is, I found a figure of 80%, is it that high.
Any other WAP stats for SA would be highly appreciated, I'm doing a project.

I WOULDNT KNOW.IM SURE BRIX,KRYPTS OR WANGA (GUCCI'S JUST AS DUMB AS ME LOL) WILL ANSWER THAT IN NO TIME.MY MONEYS ON WANGS,THE GOOGLE GARGOYLE.

@ kolakidd:
Welcome.
Unfortunately, my brief bout of googling didn't find all the stats you're after, but here's a few that might help with what you're currently busy with:

Or perhaps http://www.cellular.co.za ?
Good luck.

I'm with you on this one, Hobbs... I haven't a clue what the stats would be for wap usage, although i'm certain that it's bound to be high, based on the number of people using services like mxit, mig33, etc.
So, how'd everybody's day go? Did we spread the lurve?

@da wanqsta: That value card from Tesco is absolutely ridiculous...bloody brilliant, dunno how anyone will get laid with that card.
@kolakidd: You'll probably find that amongst youngsters the rate of usage is quite high. With the GPRS-enabled handset almost ubiquitous and lots of applications out there that people are using there's only a single conclusion that can be drawn.

iv finally gotten off the farm. going 2 stay with my bro in jhb 4 a few days. hsdpa 3.6. do u hve 2 get a software upgrade? or is it automatic
Posted by HOBBS
Everyones very quiet these days.Wangs are you missing Jojo? GUCCI, it almost sounds like you want to go back to school.Boredom.I never get bored.Always something to do.
Hsdpa 3.6 Sorry bud I know nothing about internet browsing using laptops and data cards but I would guess you would need an upgrade in software on your computer.Thats just my guess.You in Joburg now so scroll into a Vodacare and sit down with someone and have a chat about it.

AFAIK (I know alot, but surely not everything, 90% surety on this though)
Either your device su8pports hsdpa 3.6 or it does not.
For the networks to offer the service, they need only do a software upgrade from the 3g towers, but the customer needs a device which supports these speeds (most new datacards should support up to 7.2, mobile phone standard is fast turning to 3.6)
So the answer to your question, is no, a software upgrade will not enable you to reach the 3.6mbs service, you need an hsdpa device that supports the 3.6mbs service.
I hope this helps
