Yep the K850 speaker is a little louder, has a bit of bass.
Has anyone here watched Footskating 101? How in the world did this 'movie' make it on circuit? It looks like something that should have gone straight to video, and my school is in it
at the end LOL, Straight Out Of Benoni was so much better.

Yes mate, they've named her Amy Elizabeth
Posted by tranced
nice name mate.
can we expect pics of her?
Posted by GUCCI.011
Time for some K850 pics.
Hers a pic taken in the guest bathroom at home with the xenon flash, it was completely dark in there when i took this.
And heres the final movie we were watching and studying this week in English as part of the epic genre, before this we were watching Finding Nemo since its also an epic, we also did GLADIATOR, Spartacus and The Ten Commandments, some great movies out there. Wanqa would be proud of this movie though:
I think used Macro Mode for this one, not too sure though.

Once again just popping into to say "Hi"...I know its been more than a month since I've been on the forums.
My two months in the Philippines has been quite interesting- to say the least- and frustrating at times.
First off, telecommunications, and most of the economy, here is heavily regulated, as in the government can prescribe prices. One of the big political issues here is the price of sending a text message, so much so that a few weeks ago networks were ordered to lower their prices in response to rising costs.
One thing that is frustrating is the generally poor service one gets at major retailers, not to even speak of small businesses- attitudes I'd last seen back in SA in the 90s. I can write down more than 10 instances of poor service where shop assistants came at me with a "f@#&k you" attitude".
My girlfriend was here last month and we spent time on the island of Palawan which is lush and covered with rain forests and the most beautiful beaches.
Posted by tranced
@brix: i was at a beach yesterday, Salinas Beach. can see it from here. was awesome. im soooooooooo tanned.
hi SA guys
Posted by brix25
@tranced: That beach doesn't come close to SA beaches, or even the ones here in the Philippines- some of which are pretty unspoilt by development.
@da wanqsta: How's Cape Town changed since the last time you were there?
Posted by amawanqa
Just got back to CT, after being 175-odd KM away in the Swartland/Olifantsrivier areas. The recent rain n' sunshine fluctuations have come into their own and the well-known expanses of bright flowers in the areas is something to behold and appreciate. trying to imagine all of Namaqualand now...
Still on the subject of flower power, we're off to Kirstenbosch this afternoon.
While driving back yesterday, it was amazing to see Table Mountain from as far as Morreesburg!
Took some nice pics with the cellphones; will upload plenty when we get back to the UK towards the end of the month. The laptop's browser is doing my head in here..
@ tranced:
Hi mate. Some nice beach shots there. The one with the palm trees and hut looks like a great place to visit.
@ da brixsta:
Glad to see you in these parts again!
We were about to organise a search party, LOL.
We've only been into CT itself once so far (apart from when we landed), when we went to the V&A Waterfront. That was in the evening as well. Around where we are staying, certainly Parklands seems to have seriously expanded in size , as has the amount of houses being built around Blouberg, encroaching more and more on the reserve there... lot of the older houses around Melkbos, which are in prime locations, have been demolished and turned into mega-holiday pads and B&B's...
Simcards same price as 3 years ago (!), choccies now close to R6... and R200-worth of grocery shopping looked like alarmly little...
Lots of fake brand clothing around in many of the dorpies; had to laugh at the imitation New Rock boots and Nike rip-offs in some of these smaller shops.
Right, time to check out Pep Stores now (
).
See y'all later.

Nice pics, boet! Really dig that first pic with the vase! Love the way the light's falling on it.
Posted by brix25
@da wanqsta: I've been very busy with all sorts of stuff here but nothing that could get me shot...that will be later this year when we trek to Mindanao to work with an NGO and on a local newspaper.
About Parklands, the place has rapidly expanded especially with the housing boom of the last four years- before the credit crunch and the National Credit Act made it almost impossible for first-time buyers.
Couple of my friends live in Parklands and I almost moved there, the only drawback being the distance and peak-hour traffic from the CBD. Hell, maybe they could build light rail link.
Posted by amawanqa
@ Hobbster:
Forgot to mention, even one of the cops by the beached trawlers the other day was taking pics with his P1i.
Nice to see so many high end handsets around.
Posted by amawanqa
Wow, there were 15 people checking out the SAMD thread at the same time earlier.
@ da brixsta:
Ya I can certainly appreciate those 2 issues re moving to Parklands. I don't think that distance itself would bother me too much, knowing that those stunning beaches are a very short drive away etc, but I see what you mean as regards the peak hour traffic... eish.
It did remind me of driving home from work on the A13 in the UK..

Has the 8 Gig micro SD-HC memory card arrived?
Posted by brix25
@All: Any word on when the iPhone is making an appearance on Vodacom? My girlfriend just got one on AT&T and I'm mighty jealous...she constantly brags about all the stuff she should can do with her new toy.

@gucci
Yeah. I watched all the xgames. Even the 1's at 3am. Lol.
Dave mirra is a pro bmxer. He is 1 of the top guys. He decided 2 do the rally just 4 fun. And i think he is hooked on it now. Just like with travis pastrana. The rallyin was so awesome. There was so much suspense. The rallyin was the best event. Its just a pitty collin mcrae wasn't there. He was such a great rallyer and such a great person. He shall be missed
Posted by GUCCI.011
Wanqa
Thanx boet.
Kyle
I thought as much hey. Lol ye the Rally was great, lol love how Dave Mirra won the 1st race
the rally was just so full action, ye R.I.P Colin Mcrae, he was one reckless rally driver if you watch WRC you'd be amazed at how he drove and won sometimes,him and Sebastian Loeb were brilliant rally drivers. Dam ive missed a lot in XGAMES, there are so many new faces, last i watchd must have been in 2005.
Posted by kyle_274
@gucci,
Yeah. He was most definatly the best, he is still the moly person iv seen roll a car and straight away carry on drivin. Every1 else wud stop and give up. But not him. The xgames has changed alot. There r quite a few new events. Mainly motor events. And i think they took away rollerbladin. Which was a great event. And they took away bmx dirt. That was also a gud event.
Posted by JC08
@ ama, yep tx man collected it Friday, I replyed a couple of pages back!
Posted by kyle_274
um, gucci. I just swapped sim cards in my phone, and the sim tray popped out. I got it back in. But i dnt knw if its back in properly. Do u knw a solution 4 this? Or is this a reason 2 take my phone apart 2 take a deeper look. Lol.

Eish, the place is a botanist's wet dream, LOL.

Kirstenbosch is stunning.My workplace is literally two minutes from the entrance.You guys could have popped in for a drink and supper if we were there.At the Westcliff Hotel in Joburg.Forgot how much I hate working at this place.Ponsy bunch of gits these people are.Hospitality industry.You got to hate it.

Im not worried about it, the N78 and N81 dont differ by that much,the new V20 firmware for N81 adds the OS9.3 Menu Effects and Transitions, On-Demand Paging, Touch-Navi Wheel working in more menus and other OS9.3 features which are taken from N78. Hardwarewise both N78 and N81 use the same CPU and all that other technical stuff. All i'll be missing is the 3.2mp AF camera, but ive got the K850 5mp with Xenon and AF
so 
to the N78.
TeenInvader
Thanx boet.
JK
Ive read a lot of complaints on that Touch Diamond, apparently its not as smooth as HTC claim, must say looks sweet though.

If im not complaining then its fine!
The Touch Flo works well, if it was suppose to be faster then bring it on, coz mines quite quick, the same as the Iphone...
Posted by kyle_274
@gucci.
It seems fine. If it happens again ill take it in
Posted by gola
I don't know guys, i still like the n78 very much. If only it had an SE logo on it
Posted by GUCCI.011
Gola
I suggest you try it out in store. Otherwise theres always the SE G700 AND G900.
Posted by amawanqa
@ Hobbster:
Off to Cape Point tomorrow.
Had another jol today; was in Table View's mall in the morning. Saw the
G700 in a Cell C shop. Then we were off to Paarl, followed by Franschoek.
Last full day in CT before we head off to sleepy ol' East London on Thursday morning.
Loadsa worthwhile cellphone pics again, LOL.
Posted by HOBBS
You sure are getting around Wangs.Franschoek is where Im going to retire to when I become famous as an artist and start making my millions.Very beautiful.Its a strange place.On one side of the road as you coming into Franschoek you have millionaires/billionaires and on the other side,people barely making ends meet.But its quiet and away from everything.A nice place for an artist to be inspired.Enjoy Cape Point.Very sad I couldnt get to meet you.Maybe next time you here again or Im in your part of the world.
Posted by gola
GUCCI, sure, I'll look at those as well, thanks...
Wanqs, do you remember how much it went for?(G700)
