Gola

Yeah, I got some choice Windowski Officeski 2007 stuff from the neighbours when they returned from Thailand as well.
And then the Thais get upset when the US places the country on a list of intellectual property violators.
The thing is, you can get fake goods right about anywhere in the world. What shocked me was that here in was so blatant, like in a massive shopping mall.
Some Thais though see it as an equalling of the scores against an empirialist power- well, they're only shooting themselves in the foot. Its crazy how many fake products, co-exist with genuine products. Yesterday in the Bangkok Post, Mercedes Benz took out a huge ad asking the owners of their cars not to buy cheap fake parts which have flooded the market.

You gota stay focused! E90 remember? 3G,HSDPA, 4inch 800x352 hi def display, 80MB RAM on Boot, FULL QWERTY and Normal keypad etc. . . I don't think you'l like the N95-8gb's buttons, especialy the keypad, rather wait for that E90, you will be able to get 16GB memory cards for it soon.
Posted by kyle_274
@gola,
what phone you getting?
@gucci,
i hope voda world have it, iv been waiting way to long.
i dont like the looks of the e90. the whole design is just. . . fugly. lol but its specs are great
Posted by Rhino8
Ohhh the battle for new phones... i was lucky the last 5 years, voda always had stock of the phone i wanted... lol
Posted by kyle_274
lol, lucky you, last year i waited a week for vodacom to deliver my w800. i dont have luck with them
Posted by gola
@GUCCI
lol, come to think of it, it IS the hummer of bikes. The upgrade was yesterday so @EVERYONE- it's official, i'm not getting the w960i and because of that, i opt not to get any other phone (for now
). They want R1100 upfont, i was willing to pay it but my parents don't want me to...
@kyle
yeah man, it was gonna be a w960i...Hope you get the n81 soon.
Anyone know the w960i package deals that mtn are offering?

What contract u on Gola?
Posted by brix25
Again realised how lucky were are in South Africa when I discovered not a single network in Thailand offered any sort of 3G service. I wondered why my phone was not picking up a 3G signal even though it was switched to dual mode.
GUCCI: As impressive as those specs are Hobbs is probably the only person on this side of the BEE-gravytrain divide who would love the E90...I had fantasies of this device but I was afraid I'd be betraying my working class comrades by using a weapon of the ruling class in their continued oppression:grin:
Posted by HOBBS
So Brix,give a rundown of what u get up to in a day in Bangkok.And dont forget u the oke who bought an ipod,a 500gb external hardrive and a laptop,so me wanting to get a E90 is not such a big deal dude.grin.Paul scholes just scored a CRACKER Brix.1-0

Single 3G network, lol. Atleast there are more than one networks there, right?

LOL yeah, and Suan Lumphini in Lumphini Park in Bangkok: fresh snake blood being one of many delightful items served..
Off-topic (but still Thai-related), I can't believe that Thai billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra has fired Sven Goran Eriksson from the English Premiership club that Thaksin owns, i.e. Manchester City.
After such an impressive managerial debut season for the Swede at the club, it's caused quite a few negative ripples in the pond here, to say the least. Madness, I tell ye.
BTW, HTC's new beauties are to be launched on 6th May:

Has anybody else been experiencing problems with MTN? The 3G service has been ultra-shyte for the past few weeks.

Are you using the N70? Dont they have EDGE there atleast?
great excuse, but Hobbs got a point i don't know many people with nearly half a terrabite of external HDD.
Gola
Sorry to hear that bro, im sure MTN would have it on a Procall 120 at under R380pm for free, i say that because the N95-8gb is around there lol.
Kyle
It's now WEDNESDAY (Central African Time), i'd be getting impatient. You may have to hold people at Vodashop hostage with a fake pistol till they bring your N81
,like what that other dude did at Home Affairs for his I.D.
If we had more of those i bet service in this country would be better.

Ok,now i back Liverpool tonight,just because i think Gerard is a hell of a striker of the ball.Gucci,the more i read about the N95 8gb,the more im sold on getting one.Its the 8gb internal thats selling me.Even had a look at the N81 8gb but its specs arent up to par.I want the whole shebang.I know u can buy 8gb cards but the cost an arm and a ball lol Dying to have high speed HSDPA since I browse so much and just looking at my friends E61,16mill colour does make a difference.Never did much gaming on the P990 because it was always such a pain with the qwerty so that would be a nice change.And for workshots,2mp just is to small to get a nice shot so a 5mp would be welcomed.Also i want hip and funky and not business anymore.The P990 is alot business and not alot of fun anymore.Also lots of apps on a regular bases to check out ect 34 days and counting.Eish its going to be nightmare and the P990 is taking all the loathing.Hate it hate it hate it lol
Posted by GUCCI.011
Hobbs
Ye, i wish N81 had HSDPA and a slightly bigger screen.
Lol i see now, i suggest you go to Voda OR MTN and give the N95-8gb a test drive, its a sweet phone, And you will love gaming on S60, Quake, Quake2, C2Doom, Gameboy Emulators etc. . . If you want fun then get the N95-8gb, and hundreds of cracked apps.
Posted by HOBBS
Hey Brix.I hope you having a fantabulous day in Bangkok buddy.

I'm thinking of flashing my vodafone firmware to the generic one with seus, i've already installed it on my pc, what's the procedure? And more importantly, is it a good idea...
GUCCI, it's cool man.thanks, i'll check it out at mtn...

my mom has preordered the n81. its gonna take 3 to 7 working days cause the idiots which are vodacom still dont have the phone.

Rice.Yummy.Anything else? lol Sounds like Survivor Pearl Island.

Rice. i hate rice... and yet the mrs loves it.... Have a great long weekend everyone..
Posted by gola
So kyle, what are you planning to do with your w800 after getting the all new bigger n better n81?
Posted by GUCCI.011
Gola
I wouldn't do it,rather wait until you have a new phone bro.
Kyle
Ouch! I bet it will be 7days, knowing Voda.
@ All
Ive finally found a nice theme thats not all colour, but not "emo" either for my N81 lol, i download it from a site named NokiaFanboy.com
Here some screenshots of it on my phone:
Posted by HOBBS
@gucci-2 brick walls stand ahead of me and my babies.1 E90-R7000 payin,2 N95 8gb-R6000 payin.Im not upscaling to a better package,already got 2 contracts.Got R3000 pretty much sorted for the end of the month.Mmm what do I do?How bad do I want these monsters? Its doable but eish,another R3000.The N95 original is maybe the way to go.Can get the 8gb card later but the only thing that bugs me is the 64mb of RAM.I still get pretty much everything else,5mp,16mill,hsdpa,gps ect but its that golden RAM issue.Whats ur thoughts bro?
Posted by HOBBS
Im reading after installing latest firmware on N95 original,with demand paging you left with about 30mb ram after booting up.I think i can live with that.
Posted by GUCCI.011
Hobbs
What about N82? It has all the features of the N95-8GB expect for the 8GB and 2.8inch screen, N82 comes with a 2GB MicroSD and 2.4inch screen same as N81 screen.
Otherwise i'd say rather wait for N95-8gb, ye the original N95 with latest FW has around 25-30Mb RAM on boot,if you can live with that then go for it, its the original and has had A LOT of FW updates so it should be the most stable.
Posted by kyle_274
@golla,
my w800 will become my backup phone. ill use it when i go riding cause my mom says i must always have my phone on me, and i aint gonna take up the n81 with me on my bike. way to much dust. lol, wat i normally do is put my sim into my bro's old t620 cause i dont like wasting my airtime. and i put my 500mb data contract sim into my phone to browse the web and go on mxit. thats wat kills my airtime on my sim.
Posted by HOBBS
Wait.Gucci.r u crazy dude.the day im due im in there 8.30 in the morning kicking and screaming to let me in.Lets see what cash i have on upgrade day and whats available for me.think the n82 will also be shit expensive.top up 135 basically comes to about R3650 over 24 months.So if a phone is R5000 then the pay in is R1350.On a top up 135 you basically paying off the phone.Thats why those two monsters payins are so expensive.Both are about 8-9grand plus for the phone.Basically where i stand at the moment is the top up 135 is worth R3650,I have R3000,so the phone I can get must be around R6650.

So it's a Chelski n' ManUre final.
One of my brothers-in-law is a big Liverpool supporter... oh well, hard luck for The Reds.
Posted by GUCCI.011

im just saying,because N82 should be less expensive than N95-8gb, otherwise rather the normal N95.
Wanqa
Im a Man United supporter, i wanted Liverpool to win, to shut some of my Chelsea supporter friends up once and for all, ah well, we'll kill them on 21st May
its all good.
Posted by amawanqa
Gucci... a ManUre fan... oh noooo! LOL, just kidding boet.
Ya, so it's a tense few weeks for the 2 massive clubs, both in The Premiership (as they're only separated by goal difference with just 2 games left) and now the final on the 21st in Moscow. How Abramovich would love a Chelski win there, LOL.
