Great stuff.Glad you like.I thought it got a facelift from some screenshots I saw on the web but it looks exactly the same but with all the improvements.Its a great little player indeed.(touchscreen been a bonus for us UIQ3 users) Sound quality is brilliant.And the video's Ive viewed have all been crystal clear,almost perfect quality.They have a media player for the PC called CORE MEDIA PLAYER and I swear,nothing comes close to the sound quality of it.Not Windows Media Player,Winamp,Musicmatch Jukebox,JET,GOM ect The only one that can give it a run for its money is Real Player.The only downside to the PC Core Media Player is its appearance.Its very simple and not very customisable.Isnt it strange that the two worst looking media players for PC,been Core Media and Real Player, pack the biggest punch when it comes to audio quality and sound.Simplicity.You gotta love it.

We're in agreement there, Brix, it puzzled the hell out of me how JZ actually entertained the whole thing whilst knowing that some of his biggest (erstwhile?) detractors were running the FBJ show.

LOL, another hectic day at work, boet.
Had my fair share of things to contend with today. Oh well, so it goes.
I've finally put my
P900 to rest. I had demoted it to a secondary phone once the P1i took over. I'm really not making any use of the P900 now. What an innings it's had; nearly 4 years of sublime service. I'll keep it in a draw somewhere as a spare/back-up; won't get much for it in its well-worn state anyway.

The new (low spec)
T303 slider sure is tiny, at 83mm x 47mm x 14.7mm:
Posted by amawanqa
More
T303 pics. Bluetooth, 65k screen, but no card slot, and only 8MB internal memory... yet they include trackID..
I guess its looks and very tiny form factor appeal might also help with sales, if it's cheap enough...

@ da brixsta,
Did you get a chance to see Fabregas seal victory for The Gunners tonight? AC Milan looked quite stunned...

Has anyone tried out the Google Web Accelator software? Go to www.google.com (on your PC),on the Google homepage click on 'More' and it should be in the right hand columm at the bottom of the list.Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Ever since the P1i hit the markets there are some wicked themes popping up on zedge.net for my phone.Good one.
Posted by amawanqa
Ya, and the increasing availability of the
W960i will also have a positive impact on this.

@HOBBS: I'll admitt, my posts here are erratic but that's mostly coz I'm tied up with work or personal stuff.
@da krypsta: A few years ago I would have no problem in admitting that I enjoyed politics. But this last year, with all the mudslinging I've lost my appetite for politics and politicians. Now JZ is talking about a referendum on the death penalty...something which will never happen.
@da wanqsta: Totally missed that game cause I had my girlfriend over...and she demands my full attention. Just watched the highlights and the Gunners seemed to dominate Milan.
Seems like
are following in the steps of Samsung and Nokia by releasing meaningless low-end phones. This is for the sole purpose of flooding the market. I might buy this one for my 4 year-old niece.

US investment guru Warren Buffett has ousted his friend and occasional bridge partner Bill Gates as the world's richest man, Forbes magazine says.
Mr Buffett's wealth increased by $10bn (£5bn) last year to $62bn.
Mr Gates's fortune climbed by $2bn during the same period, dragging him down to third on the list with a fortune of $58bn
He was narrowly pipped into second place by the Mexican communications magnate Carlos Slim Helu, whose $60bn net worth has doubled in the past two years, Forbes reports.
This is the one that shocked me though..........
"Mark Zuckerberg, 23, the founder of the social networking site FACEBOOK, joins the list as the world's youngest billionaire.
His $1.5bn fortune makes him the world's 785th richest person, Forbes reports."
GO MARK ZUCKERBERG!!!!!!!

Looks like another one of those 'more going on in my left nostril' kind of days... Gucci? JC, Kryptik et al? Where are ya'll?

Today started out as one of those easy-going days... we've been preparing for a big inspection, which starts on Monday, a team from the powers-that-be will be visiting us for a week. Everything was on track... i'd drawn up some checklists, everything was progressing soooo smoothly when suddenly, just after 1pm today, i realized... today is THURSDAY, not Wednesday, as i had thought, meaning that those people whose work i'd thought to be up to date were actually behind, and with little time to spare to help them catch up. Ever seen a cartoon of a cat with a chili stuck up its bum? That was me today, only i didn't have a chili to spare... man oh man, i was hobbling about at the speed of diarrhea, cracking the whip and kakking myself simultaneously! We managed to get things sorted, eventually. Got home about 15min ago, and right now i reckon i could do with an chilled glass of litchi juice and a beautiful sunset. Oh, and a long holiday as well, please. To go

@ Kryptik,
Eish boet, a week-long inspection is a lotta pressure to contend with...
Just mention OfStEd (Office for Standards in Education) to any onnie here and watch the facial expressions..
Good luck for next week, boet.
@ Gucci,
Ya, as JC sez, vasbyt, boet.
@ gola,
Yup, it's not too badly priced, but it is quite light in the specs department. It's funky looks should help it sell well though.

Posted by JC08
@Hobbs are those guys at gumtree trustable? I see a guy from Rustenburg selling n95 8gb for R2700 new,sounds crazy to me...
Posted by amawanqa
The Wanqas are also litchi (juice) lovers, but it's quite hard to find here...
TFIF; I'm exhausted. The staff and kids dressed up as their fave book characters today, to celebrate World Book Day (which was yesterday,but Friday was more suitable).
An opportunity to dress up in drag...yay! LOL. Yeah, I made one very ugly mofo Mrs Trunchbull, the wicked headteacher in Roald Dahl's 'Matilda'.
Hope ya'll have a bril weekend.

@ Falcon,
Ya I manage to access most P1i menus with one hand, but as I use the stylus a lot, I sometimes end up using a thumb as a (too-big) stylus a la iPhone. this isn't ideal, no fault of the phone, rather just habitual as I seldom use the P1i without the stylus.
What helps is the scroll wheel and the usual selectable shortcuts.
I think you'll manage with just the one hand for most common tasks, particularly once you're familiar with navigating with it and are used to that keypad..

Why dont you phone him or send him an email JC and find out why he's selling it for so cheap.You always going to have dodgy's but no reason to blacklist a whole site.
Posted by HOBBS
I tend to find myself using my thumbnails quite a bit on my P990i.Its quite effective.What Ive done because of the small square qwerty keys is grown my thumbnails really long and then cut and sharpened them both to a nice sharp point.Its pretty accurate on the touchscreen.
Posted by brix25
@HOBBS: My friend also has a P990, he lost his stylus and never replaced it...now he's just using his thumb or just does not open the flip.

@ Hobbster:
I see what you mean re that Indonesian blog. Methinks games like Devil May Cry 3D and SW Imperial Ace will soon be finding their way onto the P1i. Lament Island looks interesting too.
Wanna do a bit of research on those GPS apps there too.

hi SA pals
how are you all?
what do you think if i get the g900?
Posted by JC08
@ tranced, man I wouldnt mind one hey...
Posted by amawanqa
Wanqa's P1i 'art' with braai coals n' cam settings again:
@ tranced,
I think I'll be doing the same once it becomes available.
I like the P1i, although the green and magenta tint problems are occasionally annoying..
I really enjoy taking pics, so the 5mp offering on a smartphone touchscreen handset are major attractions for me. Also, the positionable auto-focus sounds like a great feature for those who are more demanding pic-takers.
The much smaller dimensions are another plus for me. I've carried P900's, R380's, Moto A800's etc over the years and the P1i's dimensions are already much more 'pocketable', so this should be even better.
Just 2 things I'm not mad about, both very minor for me, at this stage:
1. No HSDPA
2. Bland looks, ie. a flattened K750i or K610i would look very similar...
Yeah, and after reading the preview on GSMArena, I can see myself with one before the end of the year...

nice FX there
since i got my p990 i have never thought in getting a java phone. so i decided the g900. it seems to meet all the specs i need. i dont care too much about the hsdpa. 3g or edge would do the trick for me. its look, i think it's ok. it's slimmer than the p990
. but the camera is a good point in here as im a pic-addict.
Posted by amawanqa
I'll probably sell the P1i once I get the G900; there wouldn't be much point for me to have 2 UIQ3 smartphones..
It's due out here in July, but as we know,
release dates can be notoriously unreliable.
