@ Kryptik:
Loved reading about those fear-of-Friday-13th conditions on Wikipedia.

BTW, did you know that I'm occasionally a rhinotillexomaniac ?

Ya that's an early '90's Honda VFR750. Not bad condition at all for such a well-travelled bike.

I'm currently looking for a 4Gb m2 and no one has it here in Neslpruit.Any ideas where I can try Fellaz?

Posted by HOBBS
Cellucity r usually the cheapest Jmash.Try them.Pricewise they should have down in price but im sure still damn expensive.

Posted by amawanqa
@ JC:
How does £20.99 (approx R315) sound for a SanDisk 8GB micro SD?

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Mic[....]isk-Micro-SDHC-Cards---Class-4

Posted by HOBBS
Jmash has a p1 wangs.will an sd card work in his phone? Do you get an adaptor? He needs a m2 or pro duo doesnt he? An they more pricey arent they?

Posted by amawanqa
@ Hobbster:
LOL, JC asked me for a price of the micro SD here, not Jmash.

C902, Z555 Rose and N78 at the local Carphone Warehouse store:





Posted by brix25
EDIT: Its all about the C905 today. SE again distinguishes itself from the pack with a nifty albeit very expensive little masterpiece. But I don't expect much from the camera.


Hey guys, hope everyone had a good long weekend.

Just a note, I'd like to update the frontpage with more pics and perhaps updated biographical information of some of the posters. Not your life stories, just a 30-word paragraph on your interests, hobbies and anything else you'd like us to know.

You can either send me a private message or pictures to my email addy...craggybitsATgmail.com

Since I've been in Manila I haven't been able to post to many of the forums I usually frequent due to a very busy schedule. The time difference has also not helped things because when I'm online most of the world is still asleep.

Ama
So which one of those three did you like the most after fiddling with them?n78

hey brix
Yeah, the camera is probably going to suck a bit like always, but atleast that doesn't mean we can't keep our fingers and toes crossed


Posted by JC08
@ ama tx gr8 price damn, how did the n78 feel in hand?

Posted by HOBBS
R315 for a 8gb memory card is absolutely fantabulous wangs.

Posted by Kryptik
Gott verdammt, Brix, now why you wanna go and do that, bhuti? Just when i was getting used to being 36 years old, you wanna go and wave the magic wand. Bloody Oil Of Delay doesn't seem to be working, lol Hope you're managing to have some fun whilst in Manila. Heard anything from Jojo yet?

Posted by amawanqa
@ gola:
The N78; probably because the other 2 were dummies..

@ JC:
I found the N78 much bigger (physically) than I imagined it to be (therefore Gucci will like it ), more like the N82 in size. I'm sure they could've crammed more into that substantial housing, LOL.

@ Hobbster:
Ya, that's peanuts for a 8 Gig. Methinks I must take a whole lotta memory cards with us when we fly to SA, and then flog them via my nephew or on Bid Or Buy.

P1i pic, macro mode:



Makes me think of that U2 song off the Achtung Baby album:

"...On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall..." LOL.

@ Gucci, JC and gola:

You've read the requests presented by The Father of The Thread, i.e. Da Brixsta:

Get that mugshot pic and short paragraph about yourselves, as per his instructions earlier today and email them to him ASAP, so that ya'll can be added to the SAMD Gallery on the first page of the thread!

Woohoo, another first for South Africa!! We have the singular honour of becoming the very FIRST country in Africa to be blacklisted by Amazon, because of our long-fingered friends at the Post Office...

Vodacare couldn't fix it, they sold me the cover and the screw driver i reassambled it my self.

All the functionality was still working, just the right button don't work anymore so i can;t do >*<<*< stuff anymore

I must go for anger management ... i've smashed 4 fones todate .

Posted by JC08
@ teeninvader, now why would you do something like that?

Posted by amawanqa
@ JK:
The all-new Poultry-Faecal-Spaghetti' Effect is all the rage; get with the programme! LOL.

Taken today in the Docklands area of east London:





Posted by HOBBS
Cause he's a teeninvader,thats why JC.Stop smashing your phones bro lol

Posted by amawanqa
Eish TeenInvader; looks like some serious anger issues need addressing indeed, boet.


Posted by JC08
@ brix, I will e-mail you a mugshot of me including a few words in a couple of days, im very busy at the moment!

Posted by brix25
@TeenInvader: What's with the anger bro? Just breath...That's all I can say right now.

@da kryypsta and GUCCI: Thanks for the updated info. I'm adding it today.

I'm also open to suggestions regarding the frontpage.


People love their gadgets here, they're relatively expensive when comparing to prices in SA even though China is less than two hours away by air. I'm hopefully going to Honk Kong later this year and will surely pick up some gadgets and replace my iPod which I lost at Bangkok airport.

I got the new HTC Shift gonna use it in the car!!


Posted by TeenInvader
Eish, yeah, I must research if these anger management classes works.

Picture taken on N3 from DBN, somewhere in HarrySmith....with my W890

Some bril specs like Windows Vista Business plus Windows Mobile 6.0 OS's etc, but deserving of an award for the biggest n' heaviest smartphone?
207mm x 129mm x 25mm ...and 800g... !

Posted by Falcon786
Congrats on the shift boet and wise choice to keep it in the car as it's too huge to lug around in your pocket(or even backpack!):) i would classify it as a mini pc rather than a phone...something comes to mind from nokia lol IT'S WHAT PC'S HAVE BECOME!

Posted by kyle_274

Posted by JC08
@ kyle, me too bro, my lil 2gb card is also too small, when I upgrade in august I think I'll be investing in a bigger card!

Posted by GUCCI.011
Ama
We can't wait to have you back in the Motherland boet!
Kyle
Same here bro, ive actualy been thinking that maybe when i upgrade il get another N81 and sell it, then get my self a 8GB MicroSD for my phone and a shiny new XBOX360 im still happy with my N81, don't think i need another phone.
JK
Nice one bra, are you sure you wanna keep it in your car? You know how these JHB crooks are like.
All
WOW what a week, my Korean friend was the victim of an armed robbery on Wednesday night, 3guys rocked-up with AK47s and held them hostage, they locked his little sister and older brother in the garage, beat up his father ,tied his mother up and made him go get the money (R40 000) out of his parent's room, they also made him boil water so that they would use it for torture for if the family didn't want to go with the orders, so he gave them the money, they tied him up with a cable and drove off. He's okay now but his little sis whose 12 and mother are still in shock,their father had to get stitchs on he's face and old bro is fine. All this happend in a boomed suburb here in Sandton, police arrived 2hours late to the scene. What gets me is how on earth did these guys know about the money? Thats ALL they wanted, they left everything else even the cars and just took the money.

Just took this with the TYTN.... not bad

@ Gucci:
Ya boet, thanks. I really do miss Mama Afrika, for all its problems there'll always be a yearning of sorts to be amongst 'my people' and our beautiful homeland.
But I never bother going to SA get-togethers here; negative and stereotype Saffers here really don't bring out the best in me, as they usually either slag off SA (if they're trying to justify their stay or immigration) or this place (if they're trying to get what they can out of the 'Engelse' system).

I know I'm generalising here, but for example it's worrying to hear when two Brits, who work with us, feel that we're sincere and approachable enough to say to the mrs and I that we're the first 'decent' South Africans they have met... , i.e not racist or arrogant etc etc. Eish, we have P.R. work to do here, methinks...

@ rhino:
Eish, looks cold there, boet!
