@ gola:
The N78 is a whopping £5-odd (wow!
) cheaper at one of the other independent retailers here, approximately R4420 based on the current exchange rate:

Will keep you posted as the price drops over time...

@ ama, yeah over here its almost whopping, lol
Posted by amawanqa
Yeah I quite like the N78, but I'd like to get the better half the (purple) 5mp 6220 Classic when it becomes available.
I'm still with touchscreen all the way, so I'll rather wait and see what S60 touchscreens appear towards the end of the year. I'll also check out what WM devices are out by then too.
At this stage, I dunno about getting the G900 later this year. I'm certainly appealed by what it offers, but the very mixed reports about the (mediocre?) 5mp cam's performance and smaller screen are making me keep my options open at this stage.
We'll see what transpires over the next few months; by then we'll know what the latest crop of handsets are truly capable of.

(Damn it; the magenta hue is even present here in the slightly overcast conditions, just left of the F15 Eagle's twin fins..)
I must get the f/w updated to see how much the latest version has sorted this...or not.

Is Cell C still free on weekends?
It has to be. I tried calling my girlfriend several times this weekend and could not get through- the phone giving me a "network busy" pop-up.
I wonder how much Cell C's free weekends have made for them. I know of cheapskates who use their 084 numbers exclusively on weekends.

It must be making them $$$ if they still got it

Hows everyone doing? Today I'm a very happy camper, in two days I'll be off to the island of Palawan for five days, mostly business but what's more important is that offers pristine beaches with some of the best diving spots in the world.
@da wanqsta: I was thinking of the Concorde the other day, in the sense of space and time...Being able to have breakfast in London and still be in time to have lunch in New York.
Been hoping to meet up with JoJo but haven't heard anything from him since I sent off a PM.
Posted by brix25
Its very quiet here today, where's everyone?

Enjoy Palawan, brixster.
BTW, check your PM.

Ek werk (en merk!) my gat af op die oomblik. English translation : i'm trying to look busy when the boss is around
but at least i'm managing to keep an eye on the news at the same time. Thank goodness for Google alerts, haven't had much time to even browse news sites lately. I see that Obama is heading for the hot seat, Morgan's been arrested, Hlope has the intelligence of a 3days-in-the-hot-sun-dead-fish, Tito reckons we're in for a rougher ride, Thabo still has head firmly stuck up in the clouds, Bob is still a koek and apparently the Welsh boytjies are going to kick butt over the weekend...

Wangs I played around on my Korean friends P1i the other night and it is a great improvement from my P990i.Great phone.Love the build quality.Solid little bugger.He absolutely loves it and this is someone who previously owned a Nokia E61i (you know my thoughts on that beauty.) The man is in UIQ heaven.UIQ this and UIQ that.Its very funny

Hey Brix.Hows the adventure panning out.Are you having loads of fun?

Two more sleepy's
Posted by amawanqa
Very busy in Wanqadom at the mo. At day we're at work trying to keep up with the paperchases and demands, at night we're spending time with those friends of ours from East London, giving them advice and suggestions as to what's all worth seeing and doing around here in the limited time that they have, to take as much of it in as possible.
@ Hobbster:
Yeah, I can understand why your Korean bud is a P1i convert; it really is a bril UIQ handset, albeit with its own li'l quirks.
I'm sincerely really happy for you re the all-conquering 8GB N95 coming your way in 2 days' time. Look forward to reading about the many assured moments of gadget glee in the months ahead. Yeah, that phone is still Das Spec King. What a device.
Have you been lining up those S60 apps already? Created a few folders full of Dark Side delights?
Keep us posted, screenshots, pics n' all, hey?
Cue wrinkly Emperor Palpatine's voice, from Star Wars Episode III: "Riiiiise, Darth Hobbs..."
Posted by HOBBS
Darth Hobbs has unfortunitely arisen at 3.30am to see off his boss to Mauritius for a well deserve 1 week holiday while I continue to break my back getting this job finished for the 10 July for handover.
Regarding lining up apps Wangs,no.Im so tired that Im pretty emotionless.(My aunt had a baby yesterday morning and I was like "yeah..so what") That carrot dangling has taken its toll boet.Im sure once I have that sucker in my hands its going to inject a serious amount of endorphins into my system that will revitalise me for some time to come.I now understand reaping the rewards of hard work.Hard work rocks bro.lol
Bring on this 8gig monster.I can handle it.Ive just recently become a man.lol

@ hobbsy, just 1 more sleepy to go! Guess your not going to sleep hey?
Posted by HOBBS
Im going to sleep just fine JC.Believe me
Going to be outside their shop banging on the door 8.30am tomorrow morning.
@Wangs Since Im going to become a Dark Lord tomorrow Im listening to some Cradle of Filth-Die Blutgrafin Herione Des Grauns album to get into the S60 mindframe.This shite is HECTIC! dude.Have you ever indulged in some Cradle of Filth.Its...its...its....actually Im not to sure what it is.Could be noise.Could be music.The jury is still in chambers deciding Cradle of Filths fate.CD rack or dustbin????????? lol
Posted by amawanqa
Oh hell, Darth Hobbs, I'd bin that crap, LOL. I can handle most forms of metal,even grindcore, death metal, etc. But black metal like C.o.F. is just unpalatable IMHO. Last time I (briefly) saw them was at Ozzfest 2002. To the bin! LOL.

Hobbs
If i were you id get the sleeping pills cause i would NOT be able to sleep knowing that im getting a Multimedia monster of a phone.
Im off to Voda tomorrow as well, to help my Mom choose a phone. Shes stuck between Blackberry 8310-Curve, HTC TyTN, TyTN2, Touch Dual,S710, and SE P1. Only prob with the UIQ phones is that they have a hard time syncing to Outlook thats the only reason she may not go for a P1 otherwise she likes it. TyTN AND TyTN2 are big, S710 doesnt have 3G And HSDPA, The Blackberry is missing 3G As well, and that Voda may not have the TouchDual. (Napolean Dynamite voice) GOSH this sux!
My upgrade is next month apparently
hopefully i can get a N82, do you know what the pay-in for that is? Otherwise il settle for a N78 anyway.
Posted by HOBBS
All I know Gucci is take the NashuaMobile quote and minus a R1000.Those buggers are seriously ripping people off.R4200 from them for the N95 8gb on Business Call and R3200 from Vodacom (R2799 from tomorrow)
@Wanga Bin it is.Ok lets try Slayers Undisputed Attitude album.Some painter gave me some metal cd's that he got when he was in America working in the circus.System of the Down-Toxicity,Static X-Machine,3 Metallica albums-The Black album,Reload and Garage Inc cd 1 and 2,Rob Zombie-Past,present and future.Just giving them all a listening too and so far Im not impressed with the lot.I can see why he wanted to get rid of them so fast for free.lol
Posted by amawanqa
@ Darth Hobbster:
Boet, are ou serious about some of those CD's?
LOL. System Of A Down's 'Toxicity' album is iconic, and so is metallica's black album. The latter's just gotta be one of the greatest metal albums, irrespective of metal genre.
Methinks all that overworking's indeed numbed your senses, LOL.
Dammit, now System Of A Down's 'Prison Song' is stuck in my head.. LOL.

LOL Wangs.I think you right.Will relisten when my senses have returned,which is in one and a half hours when I pick up my phone.Im up and ready to go.Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
Posted by HOBBS
Ok Wangs.System of the Down definitely stays in the RACK.I think what put me off about them is the look of their frontman (like that really matters lol) He looked like a Metal version of Michael Bolton when I saw him perform live on MTV.lol But yeah,they definitely get a NOT GUILTY verdict and stay out the BIN.Same goes for the Black Album (that was a given) So far Ive only listened to Cradle of Filth (jail) Metallica Black (set free) and now SOTD (set free).Lets see what Rob Zombies Past Present Future has to offer me.Pleasure or PAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN.lol
