@gola,
Lol. I never even played metal gear solid on the ps1. But wat iv heard and seen about the new 1. Im gonna start playin it. And if they do make a ngage that will be cul. I wont hve 2 spend 4 to 8 grand on a xbox or ps3. Lol. Even though the quality and game play wont be as gud on the phone as it wud be on those consoles.

kyle
i haven't played it either, can't wait to try it out...
@Wanqs
any news on the n78's availability on your side of the world?
Posted by GUCCI.011
Gola
Thanx bro,sounds good, havent realy played it either, but will definetly try it once its available.
So are you planning to go for the N78?
Posted by JC08
@ gucci, Im definetly going for the n78, it has everything I need and more and will hopefully not be too expensive
Posted by gola
GUCCI
I have to admit that it is enough to make me one of the darksiders and as JC said, it shouldn't be too expensive. But we live in SA, probably going to cost double. obviously
we'll have to see, don't want to jInx anything 
i think i just did

Im also looking at the N78 lol,hmmm. . . August should be an interesting month.
The N78 is going to be released in Euro at a lower price than the N81 MicroSD version, so it should be well priced.
I cant wait to see S60 OS9.3 FP2 in action in the N78,it now has animated menus, and transitions. Also i read that you can set your own voice as a warning tone, so when the battery is flat instead of playing the low batt sound it will play what ever you wrote/recorded
talk about being TOO customizable. Lol
Posted by gola
Nawce, where'd you read that? Yeah heard about the FP2 thingy, should be exciting. NOKIA is on fire... thought it would be released in May
Posted by GUCCI.011
Most sites claim N78 will be released at 350€ yet the N81 was released at 360-380€ and the 8GB was over 400€, and i got the N81 soon after release for R4200 so imagine the N78.
it should easily fall in to the Weekend Everyday contract or Business Call on Vodacom then, anyway im just assuming according to how they did this with the N81.
Posted by gola
Guess your assumptions with regards to the price are pretty reasonable. Don't get me all excited for nothing now. In that case, might as well ditch the whole contract thing, wouldn't want it vodafone branded. Anyway, mtn is probably going to get it before vodacom. check this out, lol http://stevenmcd.net/wordpress/2008/05/virgin-mobile-nokia-n78/
Posted by GUCCI.011
OMG! Some member at Prodigits who lives in Benoni also said that Virgin told him it was available and gave him choice of upgrading to either N81, N78 or N82, i never realy believed him,but now im having 2nd thoughts LOL! As Francois said maybe Virgin are smoking their socks
R5400 also makes sense since Virgin offered the N81 at R5599.
Ye rather get it on MTN, strangely though a close friend of mine upgraded from his Voda branded W850 to an unbranded N82 on Vodacom lol.
Posted by gola
haha, it's a conspiracy! ! ! R5400 is a bit too much, i might as well get the w960i, but then again the n78 seems to be way ahead of it... Maybe virgin does have it, who knows. lol, sock smokers, that's just crazy.
Posted by GUCCI.011
LMAO!
who knows!
Ye R5000 is pretty steap. Lol with all the great releases coming i think you may regret the W960 especialy if you're planning to keep it for the next 2years, coming from a W900 i think a N78 is a better upgrade.
@ All
Does anyone know about the Vodacom Wlan/Wi-Fi packages? Please post a link or any details you know about it, thanx.
Posted by amawanqa
@ gola:
The UK's Carphone Warehouse are expecting the initial batches of the N78 towards the end of this coming week or early the following week.
It's definitely not in stores here just yet.
Posted by amawanqa
UK network 'Orange' is selling the HTC Touch for just £149.99 (approx R2200) on PAYG:

Would cost another £10 to unlock, but still damn cheap.

Thanks Ama, hopefully they would've arrived before June ends in SA...

Just bought my sister a Nokia 6500 Slide.
We've got friends from East London SA arriving over here next week, so they'll be able to take it back for her.
Posted by kyle_274
It should be a great game. Im waiting for the one. That also looks like a good game. Im not really playing any ngage games. The price is way to high. I think its like 13 euro's for a game. Thats hectic. Thats like 100 bucks. I might be wrong. My math sucks. Lol. Talking about wifi. How do you get it to work on the n81. My laptop cant pick it up. And my phone cant pick up the laptop. I know its not the laptop cause iv used it before and it found the wlan that was there. Its just with the n81 that wont pick up anythin. Even wifi hot spots. Im off to cape town on monday. Got back from the kruger yesterday. We had a ball. I finally saw a leopard. Those are such beautifull animals. I would love to be a game ranger. Gettin back from cape town on friday. It should be cool

I just got home from work and Im very tired,and when you very tired you get very emotional.
I go onto the BBCNews Homepage and read a bit of the take on the whole 'foreigners' attack affair and I am F*CKING pissed at what Im reading and seeing.F*CK all those C*NTS who participate in this.
eg.A Mozambiqans house gets set alight.He runs out.They throw a brick against his head,he collapses,they douse him in petrol and throw him back in the burning house.
What kind of F*UCKING monsters does S*IT like that.
Then there is a photo of a man on fire and that just made me flip.
I dont want to hear or see anymore of this horror story.
But quess what....
Its F*UCKING happening out there and I dont want to pretend its not.
What the hell can you do.
Posted by gola
There is only one person we can turn to HOBBS, that person is God. He will answer our prayers and give us a solution that will bring an end to these poor people's misery. As long as the world still has people who care, then things will be okay.

roflmao Tsepz, beware the demon that lives underneath the bottle cap
*hic*
I agree with you, Hobbs, this kak really is waaay over the top. There've been sporadic incidents here too, although nothing close to what's happening elsewhere. It brings to mind some of the gruesome stuff that went down in the 80's. A few friends and i were attached as observers to a unit from SANDF Group 6, and the scenes we witnessed... that shit stays with you forever, brother. What struck me as being very significant then, as now, is that people who are normally placid turn into latrine-pit-dwelling-scum-sucking monsters when the mob mentality kicks in. I swear, you can see the eyes glaze over and go all bloodshot, spittle flying as they work themselves into a frenzy.... God only knows the pressure the cops and army are under not to squeeze the trigger when confronted by such a mob. Eish man, it's a nightmare.
EDIT: I see that quite a few anti-xenophobia groups have sprung up on FaceBook. People are growing pissed off at the govt's inability to deal with this issue...

@ Wanqa, Kryptik and Gola
thanx for that link Wanqa,some realy great advice there, luckily i did most of that,ate a lot of meat before drinking, had quite a few soft drinks and was on the dancefloor for a while, and guess who we found ourselves dancing with? Ms. PJ Powers or whatever her name is, drunk as well,had a blast though, and just have a bit of a headache this morning,and a seriously sore left hand thumb, who knows what i did, but its now double the size it was before, but i can still move it a bit.

Mrs PJ Powers.What a lag
Thanks GUCCI.You cheered me up.Thats funny.I have some theories on that sore thumb of yours but its best to leave it at that.(Its involves the aging Mrs Powers) lol
Off to work.The sad thing is,the client liked the sandstone technique so much he's given us more to do.Dont know if I want to laugh or cry.Whats cool though is that we going to silver leaf his Gym walls.Its going to look wicked.
@Kryptik-Its the 'mob mentality' that really gets me too.

About wats going on. Why is this country fulled with so much hate and anger and evil. All the crimes. Murder. rape. robbery. Now every1 has 2 fear. Not just SA citizins. were will this lead 2. Its 2 years till the fifa world cup. Wats gonna happen then if this carry's on. Will the fifa cup even be here? I know my spellin is bad. Lol

@ gola true words bro
@ kyle I wont be surprised if tge world cup ends up somewhere else!

@jc08.
Thats what im worried about
Posted by GUCCI.011
Hobbs
LOL! Ye rather leave it at that.
@ Kyle and JC
I wouldn't be suprised if they moved the FIFA Cup somewhere else either, i think it would be good actualy, SA is not ready for such a big world event in my opinion.
Posted by amawanqa
PJ Powers... LMAO! Now there's a legendary anti-apartheid singer from my early teenage years, LOL.
Kryptik, I'm sure, will also have lots of memories of her significance in the 80's.
Eish, it took a while to remember her old band's name (Hotline) prior to her solo career. I can remember her songs like Jabulani and You're So Good To Me, but I think that song she did for the Rugby World Cup in SA (World In Union) will always be the most universally recognisable.
And here's Gucci grooving with ol' 'Thandeka'. Great stuff.
The G-Man's got himself in some cool social circles, by the sounds of things.
I'm trying not to dwell too much on how you got that swollen left thumb, LOL.

Wow, talk about a flashback!! She certainly left her mark on the S.A. music scene, that's for sure. The lady was one of the few paler faced singers at the time who was revered by all. I remember when she and Steve Kekana performed at the Rio Cinema in New Brighton here in Port Elizabeth, back in the early 80s. Back then she and her band had to get permits and police clearance in order to be in a predominantly black suburb. New Brighton isn't too far from Algoa Park, where i now live. In those years it was considered a stronghold of the Herstigte Nasionale Party and the like, and to get to New Brighton, unless one had wheels, you had to hoof it through from traditionally coloured suburbs. Man, the HNP had such a massive demonstration going on because of this white lady singing in the townships! I recall that my coloured friends and i were escorted through the suburb by a group of our white buddies, else we'd never make it through what was then considered mostly hostile territory. Hehehe, it was well worth the adventure though, together their voices were magical.

Yep,there were quite a few famous SA personalities there, but the one i could name was PJ.
Didnt know she was THAT big
she realy is down to earth though.
Lol enough about my sore thumb
One thing ive learnt, though, we take our thumbs for granted, my left hand is nearly useless, WTF did i do to it!?

P1i pic (using phone's b&w effect) came out very well, taken today in Margate, Kent:
Posted by HOBBS
Hey JK.Nice to see you back dude.A W960.Nice one.What was it about the N82 that you didnt like?
Posted by amawanqa
Not the highest quality P1i pic at all, but it's not everyday you see something as wacky as this VW hybrid, LOL:
Posted by JK
Thanks guys...
The N82 was a good phone, it was to slow for my liking. I tried to keep as little data on the phone as possible, but it was still slow.
The 3 main reasons for giving it up.
Dropped calls was a pain!! The phone switches from GSM to 3G every mnute, its crazy even when browsing or on Mxit. On Mxit you can see the connections fluctuating and for no reason.... my sisters W890 in my room kept a solid 3G signal while mine was changing.
Battery life lasts 11 hours, with medium usage.
Started losing sms's, freezing and I think I blew the little stereo speakers.
All in all the battery life just made me change it.
So far the W960 is good. I like the P1 better though.
No real bad points about the phone... except that its pretty standard, nothing new. New Walkman players good, fancy and stuff but thats it.
Oh and the ridiculously cheap piece of plastic they call a stylus.
The "media Memory" is also a bit slow when loading movies and music, its as slow as the N95 8b.... The W950 is still way faster.
To be honest theres isnt a phone on the market that I like/want, pretty scary...
Posted by gola
@Ama
fantastic b&w photo there, guess what, it's the photo of the day
@JK
Lol, atleast you enjoying the w960i. I've never really heard anying saying they had those serious problems with their n82s. Did you sell it or what?
