@ Hobbster:
Aaah, now I getcha; dang, Slim Shady 008 is a UIQ3 master alright.
I'm one very, very knackered Wanqa. Been out the whole day at the Southend Shakedown, a massive motorcycling event held each year along Southend-On-Sea's esplanade, in Essex.
Plenty more
P1i pics to follow over the next few days...

bullet 4 my valentine was here? dam it. i never knew that. mudvayne dig remix is really gud. its got a nice beat. bullet 4 my valentine's new album is not that gud. i loved there old 1 'poison' the new 1 they tried 2 sound like metalica. im not a real big metalica fan

@ Kyle:
No you didn't miss them, boet. My nephew saw and met them 'here' where I am, i.e. UK, about 2 years ago.
IMHO Metallica peeked with their untitled 'black' album in the early '90's. For me it's been downhill with Metallica since then. Apart from Hero Of The Day, there's no Metallica song since the iconic black album that I've bothered to save on my PC.
Actually there's also a killer remix of Hero Of The Day too.

Its been confirmed this afternoon, I'll be living in the Phillipines for about 11 months...next month around this time I arrive in Bangkok for a preparations and then head on over to Manila.

Nice one bricks, at least you wont have to put up with power cuts, crime, Robert Mugabe, aids etc etc. Bag town is nice but not to my liking. The only eastern countries I would consider staying for that long are Japan and Taiwan and maybe South korea. I am sure it will be a 'eye opener'.
Posted by amawanqa
@ tranced:
Hi mate. All OK here thanks, just very busy with work commitments. Haven't uploaded the sunset pic to the gallery; I've taken quite a few over the past month or two, so I might upload one of the better ones in the near future.
How's life in Santo Domingo?
@ da brixsta:
Congratulations!
Suddenly that old 80's song 'One Night In Bangkok' comes to mind... enjoy the Thai cuisine before heading off to Manila.
Wow, a whole year in The Philippines... how's the gf taking the news?
@ Gucci:
Thanks boet. Ya, the first word that came to mind when I saw that 5-wheeler (saw it for the first time at the same event last year ) was 'monstrosity', LOL.
Watch this space for a few more oddities taken with the
P1i, appearing here shortly.

@ gola, kwl man are you going to get it?
Posted by kyle_274
well im depressed. read a vodacom upgrade book yesterday. nokia n81 on top up 135 is R2800. on top up 275 is R2200. I think. lol. and on top up 315 it is free. i cnt afford a top up 315. but neither can i afford 2 spend basically 3 grand on a phone. does any1 knw if mtn or virgin mobile hve better offers with the n81 on contracts similar to the top up 135 or even 275. thanks
Posted by gola
@JC
yes,if i was capable of paying the bills.lets just say i'm on the same boat as kyle.but hey kyle,we'll get through this period of our lives
back to JC,well the final decision isn't in my hands.saving for roughly four months and buying it cash is possible,but then again don't think ma parents would allow me to blow it on a 'puny little phone'...makes sense.but it's still the w960i or no phone at all for now...

@ Wanqa
Great stuff boet, im def watching, you take brilliant pics with the P1, can't begin to imagen what you gonna do with the G900!:-)
@ Brix
Thats great man!! Congrats
@ Kyle
Best i can see from MTN is a My Call100, R159pm and R299 pay in.
@ Gola
I might get a W960 as well, was going over my upgrade options and found that i have to pay R1799 extra for a N82, no way im paying that after already buying a N81 full price, hopefully Voda get W960 in April and don't heavily brand it I PRAY THEY DON'T!
Posted by HOBBS
Thats the spirit Gola.W960i or nothing.
Me thinks I might just do the same.
Posted by gola
@HOBBS and GUCCI
come on over to the w960i guys
GUCCI,wow you actually considering an SE.sorry,but they'll be flippin' branding it!
asked a vodacom guy why they get their phones a long time after mtn has got theirs and he said it's because they have to brand it and they do a 'more extense' test on their phones.what a load of bull.

@ gola. lmao. why is financial life so tough? ok well im still a student. kind of. lol.
@gucci. R300? WOW. thats a million times better than 3000grand. only prob is mtn's reception on my farm is really poor.
Posted by GUCCI.011
Gola
Lol,yep, well ive kept an eye on the W960, although it's Touchscreen il have to get used to it, its time i own a UIQ3 device
My free upgrade Smartphone options are:
Nokia N76, E51, E61i, N81, SE P1, W960 im sure, HTC TyTN (NOT THE TyTN-II), I-mate JAQ3, Moto Q9h WM6 phone, Moto Z8 ,and all the Blackberry phones, im not interested in any of those phones except the P1 and W960, if they had given me a TyTN-II as Free i'd take it but i have to pay R2499 extra for that.

Last I checked Bafana was kicking Paraquay's ass 3-0.
You gotta love it.
C'mon guys.
World Cup 2010 is 800 and so days away.
Lets support the 'Little Boy's'
Great performance.
Go Benni.
Good to have you back in the side.
@Gucci-Nice choice of phones.Get a UIQ3 phone as a spare and I'll get the S60 (E61i, a dinosaur but a classic in my eyes.)
We'll have the best of both worlds.
Posted by gola
yeah,nice options there GUCCI.what's ya current contract deal and how much is it per month dude?
@kyle
well you could use your voda sim in your mtn phone,no probs...
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ Gola
Im on a Talk120 contract, its R315pm plus 500MB Data Bundle which is R189 so pay around R504 a month, i never finish the bundle.
@ Hobbs
Lol,thats a good plan, yep E61i looks like a great business phone for you
it will go nicely with your P990, just like how the W960 would go well with my N81, then we can share software

Bag town? Don't think it will be too hectic...if I wanted first world I would have applied for the trip to Norway which was also on offer but for excitement nothing beats Metro Manila.
Anyway, I'm just dealing with the enormity of the move...now I'll have to get used to the prospects of earthquakes, typhoons and volcanic eruptions. But I'm also excited about the prospect of learning to speak Tagalog and perhaps hooking up with JoJo since we've been on the PM'ing one another as I gathered intelligence on life in the Pinas.
Posted by JC08
@ gola, mate sometimes we should spill our cash on something worthwhile
@ gucci I also dont finish my bundle, but its a hell of a lot cheaper to have it...
Im really looking at n78 for my upcoming upgrade, just waiting for a few more reviews...if only g900 had hsdpa!sigh
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ JC
It definetly is hey, and makes you care free of your Internet useage
N78 sounds good, i just don't like how it looks but spec wise it's great! Hmmm. . . . .maybe i must wait and see how that is as well.
G900 is sweet,but ye no HSDPA is quite a bummer.
Posted by HOBBS
Dude..... R504/month.Are you insane in the membrane.
With that amount of cash why are you sitting with a N81.
You could get the smartest of smart-phones......E90.
Eish!
I quite like the little 'My blog is worth" widget on the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog. http://blog.se-nse.net/
You click on the 'How Much is Your Blog' link,type in the address of your blog or someone elses if you curious and a figure is return stating its worth.
My measly blog is worth a staggering $568.00
UIQBlog (The UIQ Evangelist) is worth $7,903.56
P1i Blog is worth $14,678.04
Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog is worth $60,970.32
Its alot of fun.

@ gucci, after watching a few hands on vids of it on youtube i saw that its a phone that looks very different from others... Oh an that fm transmitter is wicked cool man...
Posted by amawanqa
Insane in the membrane...dammit Hobbster, that Cypress Hill song is stuck in my head now, LOL.
Your Indonesian connection shouldn't be too concerned about the P1i's pace. I don't find the P1i any slower than the N73; if he's used a smartphone before he won't be disappointed with the P1i. Thus in the realm of smartphones, I wouldn't single it out as slow, particularly compared to some other smartphones out there.
Posted by GUCCI.011
@ Hobbs
Lol,but that's including the Data Bundle, otherwise the contract itself is R315pm, so no E90, for that i need to pay in R3199 extra!!
@ JC
DAM IT BRO! Lol now you've got me back where i started, can't decide, an internal FM Transmitter is great, okay now im leaning towards N78!
crap just when i thought i'd made up my mind. . . . .
Posted by gola
Ahem, R504, that is a bit too much
. Talking about 500mb data bundles, the student accommodation where i stay just started offering 'free' 500mb a month.
Oh, according to vodaworld's magazine, apparently their w960i comes with a bluetooth stereo headset. Probably a typo.
I quite like how the n78 looks, especially the keypad

Yeah I'm looking forward to eventually getting my mitts on a G900 towards the end of the year; I reckon it'll be attractively priced too.

Talking about Jaguar-from BBC News
Ford sells UK-based Jaguar and Land Rover to Indian firm Tata in a $2.3bn deal after months of talks.
Posted by amawanqa
LOL yeah I saw that in the paper today. Can imagine Jag and Land Rover owners cringing at the thought that their larny vehicle manufacturers' overlords are none other than Tata. Quite funny; just doesn't seem like a natural, pre-destined vehicle manufacturing relationship, does it?
Opposites attract and all that perhaps...

No problemo, Rhino, will do so. I finally got around to sorting out my pc, and installed some ebook conversion programmes, so i've been spending some time converting books to Mobireader-friendly formats.
