So a guy from autopage called me today telling me about some specials, I asked him about the n78 and he wasn't sure when it was coming, but he told me the n96 would be here by August. I asked him what the pay-in for it on top up 590 will be and he said about 450-500 rand, lol but I cant believe it will be so cheap as n82 etc costs mord than that...
Posted by GUCCI.011
WOW! Nice one, if i can il wait til August to upgrade then, R500 pay-in for N96? Thats a good deal for what you get hey, i was expecting R2000 pay-in or more on even a Talk500s package.
Posted by JC08
@ gucci, yeah he said it will be on all their talk packages, but the deal sounds too good to be true, I mean look what the prepaid price for n96 is going to be abroad, so im a bit sceptical about that!
Posted by kyle_274
Thanks gucci. That will be awesome if they release new firmwares. The only upgrade i need is improved battery life. And maybe better ram handlin. And then flash lite3.

Hey Gucci.Just downloaded the Drakkarious Hack Compilation from Ipmart which allows you to install anything on your phone (unsigned apps,no more resetting the date ect) Just followed easy instructions,installed and working perfectly.Just installed RotateME unsigned and am loving it.Tilt phone to left and im in landscape with the ability to still use keypad.Absolutely love it.This phone rocks bru

In regards to updating to v.20 im of the opinion 'why fix it if it aint broke.Phone working fast,smoothly,havent had one freeze or crash so far.Very impressed with the stability eventhough it Vodafone branded.The N95 8gb gets a 10 out of 10 from the Hobbster.

Hey guys,
need some help from anyone that has linux and bluetooth knowledge if possible.
I recently installed Mandriva 2008 on my pc and am trying to pair my W810 with it via bluetooth. They find each other quite happily but when i try to pair them I get an access denied error on the phone. The default passkey is "BlueZ" which is not possible to key in on my phone. I altered this in the hcid.conf file but even doing this, my phone says access was denied.
Has anyone ever had this problem or does anyone know a workaround for it? I have raped google for answers and those that i do get are pretty vague or do not help.
Thanks.

The only reason i dont use linux all the time is that lil problem of syncing with a mobile phone...

@ gucci, what do you think of the black n82, I think it looks sweet...

Surely they do. Unlike 'other countries',there is no one to enforce them
Nice to see N95 users in here
I might be 'one of you' too.

Ah damn, so that may mean that it will be disabled in the n78, or what?

Hardly time to esato lately; busy with end-of-academic-year school reports and a whole host of other mounting paperwork..
@ da brixsta:
I can't say I've ever warmed to Sigur Ros. I think of them as an Icelandic 'Coldplay' with elements of REM and Radiohead. Then again, I've only heard one album of theirs, so I'm not sure how varied they are between albums.
@ The Hobbster:
Glad that the Dark Side's flagship offering is serving you so well, boet.

I feel it with you, Wanqa. Finally finished the marking, reporting and associated zillions of bits of admin. and am now officially on holiday *finally*.
Mario, how are the kids doing now?
Posted by HOBBS
Thanks a million Wangaman.Im so chuffed with this phone.Its top class. (Mario,I highly recommend it,superb) Can you believe I gave my P990i away to this girl I know that will probably never ever use the smartphone side of the phone.I just wanted her to experience something different than the non smartphone phones she always ends up getting.Maybe she will get an idea of why Im so obsessed with cellphones in general once she delves a little deeper.
Hey Brixsy,hope you well bud and havent caught any STD's of the horrific kind on your travels lol

On top of the Vodacom4me.co.za website " The iPhone you've been waiting for.Coming soon."
"Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, Maps with GPS, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one - a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and full web browsing."
"iPhone 3G - It redefines what a mobile phone can do - again!"
"You can pre-order your iPhone 3G by pre-registering - available to anyone, not only Vodacom customers. Our iPhone sales team will be in contact with details, as soon as it becomes available."

Boet, I'd love to be there; right now I'm being Nurse Wanqa, as the better half is really not well at the moment. Watching it live while I get a sachet of Lemsip (Medlemon in SA) for her.
This past week, the media, on every single day, has focussed on 2 very contrasting African figures; ie. Mandela and Uncle Bob.
Yhu, Sipho 'Hotsticks' Mabuse's on now, LOL.
EDIT: The Great Man's presence and short, powerful speech has left everyone reaching for their tissues. Phenomenal. So sad to see him so frail.

Ya, sure can relate to all that. Enjoy the well-deserved hols, boet. Going on another Karoo Expedition?

Ohhh nooo!
Kurt Darren's now on.... together with an iconic legend like Eddy Grant! Singing the ol' classic Gimme Hope, Joanna.... sh!t his interludes sound kak compared to Eddy's unmistakable voice. (No offence if there's any Kurt Darren fans here ).
Great to see isiXhosa banners and so many SA flags amongst the 50 000+ crowd

Thanks for the reply mario
yeah,jc that's not good news at all,but i'm sure it can be hacked right?
Posted by HOBBS
My thoughts Wangs.....Kurt Darren WTF!!! They should have rather sent Steve Hofmeyer.At least he would have sung in his mother accent and not thrown in a Jamaican accent.Eddy was nice to hear him again,hes still got a great energy.Love the fill-in frontman for Queen,Paul Rogers.I think he does a great job.Awsome voice.Amy Whinehouse.Love her or hate her,she captivates.On drugs,not on drugs,it doesnt matter to me.I think shes a very interesting character.Love to see her in action.

@Kripta Tx for asking bud, they are fine
I am still waiting for the municipality's reply.
On thursday we had to help Karedouw SAPD with the municipality worker's toytoy. (people got arrested) Have you ever seen a mayor (O'Conell - spelling?) running naked
? (workers tried to 'undress' him to sell his expensive clothes). I wanted to snap a 'quick pic',unfortunately the captain in charge of the scene saw my intention before I managed to get the camera working I really feel for the workers thou. They get paid very little and not always on time ! The 'big bosses' get huge bonuses! (not to mention the huge packages) The municipality introduce a new 'farmer tax' which is expected to bring in a extra 10million a year. They have already approved 12 new 'top managerial jobs' just to 'monitor' this ! My inlaws (local farmer) is furious at the idea (not so much at giving the money, but knowing, the poor workers won't see a cent). And if the people are rioting the community is suffering
Yesterday,some clever chap posted a 'nut cracker' on the intranet 'police'. Tin screen will flash with the message written in big,red and bloody letters 'ONE MAN ONE VOTE'
Needles to say,the PC (Bisho -Provincial Commissioner) was furious

For the FM Transmiter, yep if they disable it you can just change the product code of the N78 to UK Product code or something and then update the FW and it will be there.
Posted by JC08
@ gucci, kwl man...regarding the iPhone, Im certainly not interessted in it, it feels to me as if everybody makes it out to be one of the best phones ever and that just coz of the interface...nah I dont want something that cant even use bluetooth...just my opinion

Any news on the N78 and N96 and what contract deals we should see them on with Voda? My upgrade is in 15days time, and the people at Vodashop arent helping much when i ask about the N78.
Posted by JK
I dont think they will be available in 15 days
Are they out overseas yet?
I say another 6 months for the N96. The N78 will be here a lil sooner than that.
Posted by GUCCI.011
6months? Lol come on now. . .
The N78 is already available in India, USA, UK and some other countries in Europe

Lol gucci and hobbs the best part about me throwing my w880i is that my e65 was in the same hand...the e65 was a bit more lucky damage wise although the knock corrupted my memory card and now it's more banana shaped(which is suprisingly comfortable to use-nokia take note!)so now i'm using a 2630 and my banana e65.jk take the r18 shares if you must because there is a option which allows you to claim directly from sasol after ten years instead of worrying about selling it to third parties.
