@ gucci
Awesome! Altough Im only upgrading in Augtust...
Posted by HOBBS
@gucci thats a nice link.just means u dont have to constantly phone in 4 prices.got R4200 in the bag.Thats my N95 8gb secured.Just need another R500 and i can get the E90 but those N95 specs just blow me away and i think its the one.Now the waiting game.tick tock tick tock lol Kyle any word on your phone yet.It will be quicker to board a flight to Finland,buy the phone,and come back home.Are u in the karoo by any chance?
Posted by HOBBS
Hey Wangs.Fear not.Im still a UIQ Evangelist of sorts.Converted my E61i carrying friend to the 'light side' and he got his P1i yesterday and is a very happy chap indeed.Unfortunitely the acquisition of that extra R2200 is the sale of my P990i in a months time to a girl I know

Thats great
rather stick to N95-8GB then.
Posted by HOBBS
Are you thinking of that HTC Gucci?
Posted by GUCCI.011
I just found that it doesn't have Wi-Fi but yep i was looking at the Touch Dual and the S730 but both seem to be missing something i want.
Agh if i can't get the N82 il settle for the N78
Posted by HOBBS
I just dont fancy the look of that N82.the keypad is almost identical to my P990,as is the colour.Need something different.Its the 8gb's that does it for me ultimately.God its going to be cool having that extra RAM and 8gb's of internal.Im salivating as i write this.lol Also its got a bit more screen real estate which should be cool.I need some heavy duty prescription sleeping tablets or a good ol quantity of ketamine to knock me out for a month.lol
Posted by Rhino8
Just 3 photos taken with the HTC.
I think i am getting better and almost reaching the perfect camera settings
Posted by Kryptik
LOL Hobbs, i don't think even a double dosage of Special K will be enough to contain your excitement levels! Thanx for that Nashua link, passed it on to a buddy who's been hunting for a good contract deal.
Posted by HOBBS
Nice pics Rhino.You might soon topple our SAMD 'Photo King' Wanga and take the title.Its good to see that HTC TYTN has a worthy camera on it.Ive always read poor reviews.
Posted by brix25
I miss you guys terribly. Hope everyone is still good.
Posted by amawanqa
Ya, it's not always easy being a stranger in a strange land.
All well here; hope you're doing OK there, brixsta.
Taken early Friday evening, on the way into central London.
W890 being advertised.
Not the best pic out, but it was the first time that I saw the new
Z555i on sale here. Very, very basic specs...there isn't even any video recording ability with that 1.3mp cam...! WTF?! Talk about retrogressive and a 'fashion' disguise to detract from the poor specs...
Even the most basic Nokia and Samsungs that have a cam have video recording, and didn't even the
W550i and almost all of the other basic 1.3mp and VGA equipped (T610, T630, K700 etc etc) phones also have?! What's going on, ?
And apparently the tiny new
T303 has the same camera module, i.e. no video either... retrogressive actions like these put me off a manufacturer, whether I'm intending to buy one of these more basic handsets or not.
@ Hobbster:
LOL, nah me no worry boet; I'm no big fanboy as you know. Sure, I like the P1i, the ol' P900 etc, but N73 ownership was a happy time too. Now lemme check out those new HTC's... LOL.
@ Rhino:
Wow, I'm very impressed with those pics, boet! That Beemer pic is particularly good. Yeah, you've got good reason to be happy with that phone's cam performance. Keep those pics coming.

@Brix What exactly are you doing there? Don't venture to far East ! I believe,not long ago, in Papua/New Guinea,human flesh is/was considered a delicacy. Mind you,next year this time, I might join you in that part of the world. (actually a bit further south in Brisbane). A few hours ago we (I+fam) just got back from our annual Southern Africa tour (3991km in 9 days). My n73 got wet and buttons 2,3,7,8 stopped working. Anyone read/heard about this problem before? Santan (I mean Santam) here I come - time for a N95-8gig :)

Great stuff.The Stormers are sitting at 4 on the Super 14 log with 2 to play.Got to say though its pretty tight between the top 6 except for the Crusaders of course.I really dont want to get rid of my P990i.This is what happened.This girl i know said she would give me R2200 to help cover my pay-in for the N95 8gb.I in a moment of excitement and madness stated that if she does she could have my P990i.Before I could come to my senses it was agreed from her side.Couple of reasons why i dont like the idea.I've looked after this phone so well it doesnt have a stratch on it.At first glance it looks new and you know woman who love handbags.My poor P990i is going to get pummeled amongst keys,wallets with metal zips ect Not cool.And also she wont ever use the 'smartphone' features of the phone and that would be a very sad affair.A waste.But then i think of the amount of people walking around whth N-series phones and who only use it to call and sms.Maybe Im just talking shite here and am just dreading selling my P990i.I love it to bits.Plan C maybe.

@ Hobbster:
Hmmm, a bout of Symbian Schizophrenia coming on there again, methinks, LOL.
If I was flush enough, I'd have a good few smartphones around me, but I can't say that (with the exception of the P900) I'm too sentimental over handsets and thus I was able to sell the N73 without too many grave feelings.
Not the phone's fault, just that the money could be put to better use than me occasionally dabbling with the other platform while the majority is spent on one; I just couldn't be arsed to carry 2 phones around any more, particularly if they're not the smallest things out there. For sure, I fiddle and faff with the secondary one at home now and again, but I hardly take both with me anymore.
But hey, that's just me.

EmTube - for Downloading high quality YouTube videos
CorePlayer
Symella1.40 - to download Music,its like LimeWire for S60 phones
Opera8.65 -for downloading rar apps which default browser can't
SmartGallery -to hide uhmm pics i don't want sum people to see
Handy Taskman -great for just watching RAM, Internal Mem and Mass Storage,also to see what Apps are running
X-Plore -great file manager, it opens all formats rar, zip etc. . .
Y Browser - for viewing hidden files,folders and changing fonts.
Sorry had to give more than 5, i think you will find the above apps pretty useful
Mobile Signer is another one, if you don't hack your N95 then try get an OPDA Certificate and use MobileSigner to sign apps on your phone.

I am not entirely satisfied with the white balancing on it, but ill get there..
Ill try to take some macro mode pix asap and show them to you.
Posted by Kryptik
Ja nee, and thus another Monday draws to a close, thank the good Lord. Not my favourite day of the week...
Gucci, i see that X-plore have added a nice touch in that we can now view pix, 3gp etc. Pretty handy, i must say.
Posted by GUCCI.011

LOL i hadn't realised that until now that you mentioned it, realy is useful, X-Plore is a nice file manager but this has brought it pretty close to perfect.

Posted by amawanqa
Thanks, Gucci n' Hobbster.
@ Gucci:
That's some seriously keewl-lookin' headphones, boet.
Just got back from Hastings in Kent. It was a public holiday here today, and we attended the annual May Day bike run from Locksbottom (s'true) to Hastings.
Literally tens of thousands of bikers of all shapes and sizes, LOL. The traffic was something else though, made worse by a 3-car pile-up, causing one of the main motorways being shut by the cops.
Eish, I'm one knackered Wanqa now.
P1i pic of part of Hastings' beachfront, obviously using the phone's sepia effect option:

Anyone here a Lenny Kravitz fan? Just got his new album, ive always been a fan but never bought his albums until now, and im loving it, really worth a listen.
@ Wanqa
WOW! That 1st bike looks great!!
LOL my friend's Aprilla RS250 engine ceased
, so now he has to downgrade for a while and is using a Quantee Dirt bike, forgot what cc it is, il ask him tomorrow and take a pic of it to post here. You will be laughing at what a pathetic job of spray painting it and "modding" it him and another friend did to it the other day

Lenny Kravitz.Not really.Two songs of his I fancy is his earlier hit "Are you gonna go my way" and then later "American Woman." Those are the only two tracks of his I can think of that I like of his.
Just got home from work and Im in that blissful tired stupor you get into when you overworked.You so tired you dont feel like sleeping.
My incentive obviously been my new phone and my bosses incentive is she's going to Mauritius for a little holiday on the 6th of June,so its all good.Hard work never killed anyone as far as I know.

Ya, that Honda CBR1000RR FireBlade's the fastest police bike out there, LOL.
WRT that connection's spray job, LOL sounds like a lekker goffeling job. Try get a pic for us; should be worth a laugh by the sounds of it.
Lenny Kravitz, yeah I've got some of his stuff. 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' is still my all-time LK song. Without question. What an unmistakable riff that song has.
Cool amphitheatre-type location for the keewl music video as well; wish he kept those distinctive dreadlocks.
Yeah, and 'Just Can't Keep You Off My Mind' is a BRIL one for the mello collection too.

I wish they had more info on the E71.My Korean friend is going to be pissed.He got the E61 and a month later the E61i was released.He just recently upgraded to the P1i and now there is news of a Nokia E71.Very funny.Thats my logic when it comes to getting the N95 8gb.Its feature packed and will take a while for those specs to become standard.
