Whoa, clicks is selling the Samsung x820 for R999
If I'm not mistaken it still is the thinnest phone to date...
Nearly right, boet.
The Samsung U100 surpassed the X820, and is a whole whopping 1mm thinner at 5.9mm...

R999 is about 4300 D.R. Pesos (DOP).
Hope you're having a good weekend there, mate.

EDIT: SA doesn't suffer from hurricanes; massive thunderstorms in some inland parts and various degrees of gale force winds along the coast at times, but nothing like Ike etc.

That's one of my favourite English movies, Gucci
What's remarkable is how little football is actually to be seen throughout the movie.
Wanqa, the pic of that Impala really brought back memories. A buddy bought one many years ago, a real clunker, which we spent ages fixing before driving the daylights out of it

@ Gucci:
Ya, the real Green Street in Upton Park, where West Ham United's stadium is in, is literally a 5 minute drive from where I work.
When all the Asians arrived in the UK in a few decades ago, many of the indigenous white population moved out of that part of east London (wonder how much of that was publicised or reported on back then...), to the lower parts of the neighbouring county, i.e. Essex.
Upton Park, East Ham, Manor Park, Forest Gate etc and the Tower Hamlets area is like a Little India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Sri Lanka in one.
Green Street itself, just further up from the Stadium (a few minutes' walk), is a busy, relatively narrow main street of Asian-orientated markets and shops.
On match day, the tube trains pulling into Upton Park station from further up the District Line, (i.e. from the lower parts of Essex, such as Barking, Dagenham, Hornchurch and Upminster etc) bring hordes of Hammers fans.
Police presence is really heavy on match days, as you can imagine.
Funny enough, I've yet to see the film... it's on the to-do list.

Thats so true, the only football game you see is in the beginning, what a great movie, im still not over it, definetly one of my favourites.
Wanqa
Thanx for that info boet,really interesting

That competition must be sponsored by SONY, they did the same with the W960 and PS3 before they were available Globaly, well with the W960 atleast.

Just over one month to go before the 2008 Smartphone Show!
I'm sure the Xperia will be taking centre stage..

Have you heard the track "Handlebars" by the Flobots? Sick track, i cant get enough of it. I got that Kanye track, man theres been like some crazy explosion of good tracks lately, im not gona be able to keep up lol.
Hobbs
That sounds great hey. For some reason i like the NOKIA N85 a lot more than that Korean 8MP N95 rip-off. I'd rather get a N95-8GB and have Multimedia keys and Nseries exclusive software. A bud of mine has the SAMSUNG i450 aka N81 rip-off with no Wi-Fi. He can't play Ngage games, the Ngage app always crashes, no OVI share app, it can't run apps like PANOMAN, Screenshot, Conversation (a MUST have), no Search app, it has the old N90 Music Player when in portrait mode, ugly Gallery and it cant launch a lot of the games my N81 can, its one loud phone though, and its muic plyer in landscape with that Navi wheel is nice but all in all its a waste, rather get a N81 or N78.
Posted by gola
lol yeah, killer song man, it's been long since the last time I heard it. That new song by TI feat Rihanna is quite hot. Dude, so where'd you download the kanye track?
His new album is coming in Dec, along with blueprint 3, yip exciting times are ahead.
Posted by HOBBS
Eish Kryptik.Face Warp is a hilarious application.Just put it on my phone,took a photo of myself,went through all the different warping profile and laughed myself silly.Its pretty freaky shit.
Posted by HOBBS
Question-How often do you guys use your phones default web browser? Me,never.Ever since Operamini allows you to download without needing to close down the program I find no need for the default anymore.Also I downloaded an app called MConnect which shows a data transfer bar on the top of your screen throughout the time you are browsing.Very nifty.To access this page from My Bookmarks used up a measly 59kb.Will access the same page using default and see how different the size of data usage is.
Posted by HOBBS
Ok.Using the Default browser to access the same page from bookmarks munched up 253kb.Almost four and a half times the amount of data.So unless you have a data bundle or unlimited,the default browser gets pretty pricey.

Dam, indeed bro, Rihanna and TI? Havent heard it but im going to try find it as well. I got Kanye's track by using LimeWire
Blueprint3!!? OMG i now know what my XMAS pres should be and we are STILL waiting for Dre's DETOX album.
Hobbs
I sometimes use it,but mainly use OperaMini3, and Opera8.65 for Prodigits.
Posted by gola
Hobbs
I was thinking about that the other day and the only time I use it is when I visit the vodafone site...
GUCCI
Ya, that album has been long coming. So how does limewire work?

@HOBBS There's a Face Disaster app available on Phoload. Wondering how it compares to Face Warp. http://www.phoload.com/software/238-face-disaster/view

LimeWire is like a P2P PC app. It supports multi-threaded downloads so if multiple users (hosts) have a certain file it can download it from each of the simutenously just like Symella does on S60 Symbian phone, realy usefull for downloading music.
Dont know if ive mentioned it but the track COOKIE JAR by Gym Class Heroes is also pretty cool.

Nice app GUCCI, thanks man. How legal is track downloading though?
Downloaded "love lockdown" and when I played it some rock song played
Should learn to use the preview button, lesson learnt...

I really like that Touch-3G.

You beat me to it Gucci.I saw those 3 HTC babies yesterday on GSMArena.They look bloody awesome.On a roll they are.I wish there were more pictures of the Nokia Tube.What Ive seen the screen looks awfully long and thin.Cant wait until that baby hits the market.Its going to be so exciting reading up all the reviews and where it stands against its rivals.

Posted by HOBBS
That goes for me too TaraKa.Welcome..welcome...welcome.Hope you pop in more often and share your thoughts.I will try out that app you mentioned and let you know what I think.
Just been reading up a bit about Google's Android phone but there's not much info out there at the moment.Also not many pics to look at.Very exciting all these new boys&girls on the block.I remember us talking about the HTC TYTN like it was just yesterday and look how far those buggers have gone in such a short time.
Was so funny.Played on my old P990i yesterday for a short while.Glad to be rid of that thing.Started up the music player and starting playing a tune.Switched to Operamini and BAM! the music player stopped.Ouch! Very painful.That baby would drive me absolutely bonkers after experiencing this N95-2 and the ease it multitasks.Must say the UIQ3 OS and the touchscreen is very sorely missed.Bigtime.I forgot how pleasant browsing Operamini was and using the stylus to drag the screen up and down.Bloody awesome.And the build quality of that phone.(I know I always bring this up) but it is solid.Feels like a million bucks.Its just so sad about that RAM issue.Those were the days hey lol

Yep welcome TaraKa.

Ye i can't wait for TUBE, hopefuly its screen is wider when announced, but it won't matter since its the 5800XM, the real Flagshing will be realy interesting.
Lol so i read somewhere that Google Android is mainly Java or something like that? That kind of put me off, have you seen the HTC Dream Android phone spy pics? Its one FUGLY phone.
Yep SEs are SO well built, my K850 feels so solid. Even my N80 with its front metal plate feels like a tank next to my plasticky N81, still prefer "THE NEXT EPISODE" though
Busy watching The Tudors, love this series, OMG they're going to execute the hot queen
, anyway i saw an ad of the HTC TouchPRO, WOW its great how quickly we getting these devices.

Taraka welcome !where you from bro?
Hobbs i recently used a htc touch diamond and all i can say is dam nice looks and i love that smooth touch flo interface.also typing with your fingers is improved alot and i actually found it usable.plus the way everything is deliciously rendered in smooth 3d lol even things like the weather!go try one boet i'm sure you'll be impressed with that screen also.only problem was it doesn't come with a nav program but apparently the agps pics up lock on really quickly once you do get your own program

If that link doesnt work let me know and I'll send you another one.
Your Googling skills are quite atrocious lol.I just typed in 'MConnection S60' and got pages of hits.We need to send you to 'Google Pre-school' it seems lol
