Yeah GUCCI, I noticed that too, quite impressed by that vodamag edition. Lol, I didn't know that LG existed before I saw it there

Can you believe it that my N95-2's battery might be finished.Fully charged it last night and this morning when I woke up it was dead.Going to suss the situation today and if it runs down in record time Im taking it into Vodacare.And while Im there Im going to ask them for the V30 firmware update.
Posted by HOBBS
In 2 months time I might have an E90 Communicator.The girl that bought my P990i is going to open a contract and get the E90 and then we going to make a swap.I think the E90 is more me than this N95-2.I think its time for the Hobbs to finally have a Communicator to bury this curiousity and fasination once and for all.

Yeah right! LOL, that curiosity will be satisfied only until the next Big One comes along!

lol @ kryptik
@gucci you've played on your dads e90 communicator extensively.what are your thoughts?
Posted by HOBBS
whats the link to check out vodacoms latest contract package deals?

Gola
Lol!
same here, i thought they just made home appliances. 
Hobbs
Yep tell them to update to V30, It sounds like there might be something wrong between your batt and maybe the phone's contacts that connect to the battery, have you tried cleaning them?
Lol yep played on E90 quite a bit, its a great phone, its quite heavy though at 210g. For Internet its unbeatable, you do much less side scrolling, its dpad is a lot more thumb friendly, inside screen is great, but it actualy doesn't look that big weirdly enough. The QWERTY keyboard is kind of stiff at 1st but you get used to it, the way it opens is weird, it doesnt open smoothly i think the one i used had tight hinges and it doesnt realy settle until its completely open in other words until the screen is at the same level as the keypad, so its opend all the way back. The UI seemed a little boring,like all the preinstalled stuff is all businessy and serious lol, plus it doesnt support Ngage and its just not a great multimedia phone. . . .well unless you watch a lot of movies, problem is to watch videos in full screen you'll need to convert them to the 800x352 resolution because even videos recorded by it at 640x480 dont fill up the screen at all, maybe CorePlayer will do that though, i should've tried it. But otherwise its a sweet device, it makes a N81 and N95 feel like cheaply built toys. By the way when taking pics you cant use the internal screen. My Dad wants to get a E71 now he feels the E90 is too big.

Have u taken any pics with the e90 gucci.how are they.also test out the video recording for me.let me know how good a quality your little flicks come out.i can do without ngage,i never play games on this phone.also when it comes to email i saw a screenshot of profimail on the e90 and thats the way email supposed to look on a mobile phone.bloody awesome.its got gps.hsdpa.good RAM.and wangs is going to send me a 16gb sandisk card for a xmas present.can you believe he doesnt even want me to pay for it.lol so i lose out on the 5mp camera (gucci will let me know how big the loss is going to be) and the 8gb internal memory (wangs is sorting out that one with his charity) lol other than that i think im doing the right thing.i want quality like my p990i and gucci has confirmed its a quality piece of kit.
Posted by GUCCI.011
I took ONE pic with that E90
will upload it on Wednesday when i have my Bundle back. 
pics taken by it are decent. Videos taken by E90 are the same quality as N95-2, they taken at VGA 30FPS DVD Quality. I never did use Profimail my dad hates it when someone messes around with his settings and mail apps, he's using Blackberry app as far as i know, so didnt see that.
Its definetly quality, chrom metal hinges and the body is painted metal. Il post some pics of the E90 as well.

El cheapo LG KP500 touchscreen announced today:
Taken from GSMArena:
'Aiming at the midrange market, LG will be bringing full touch handsets to the masses, by introducing their latest LG KP500. Standing at 11.9 mm of thickness, the LG KP500 may be affordable but not at the expense of style.
Borrowing its design from the LG Renoir, the LG KP500 uses the latest reincarnation of the proprietary LG Flash-based UI. The user interface is thumb-optimized, but a stylus is also provided to assist handwriting recognition. Unlike the LG Viewty however, the stylus here is tucked into the body of the handset itself.
The LG KP500 is not a high-end device, but once again it's feature pack is optimized for affordability. The KP500 doesn't have 3G support, but there's quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE for a true world-wide use.
It also has a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera, but there's a 3-inch wide touch screen display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels to poke around. A microSD memory card slot, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio and an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and gaming completes the tally. A virtual landscape QWERTY keyboard and office document viewer are also present.
Weighing only 89 g, the LG KP500 will land in Europe in October 2008. Its price will be announced later on, but we can't help but wonder what do they exactly mean by affordable - their most affordable touchscreen handsets are the LG KF700, which currently sells online for around 200 euro (285 US dollars).'

Whoop whoop, Im back! How have all you fellows been? Im on vacation for a week, going on a camp in the mountains 2mo with some of my friends!
@ gucci, have you checked out the sammy i900 omnia, sweet piece of kit Id say!
@ all, whose going to buy fifa 09? Im going 2 as soon as I can!
Posted by gola
That LG doesn't look too bad, props to LG for generally growing into a formidable force...
Hey JC, wow, didn't realize it was due so soon. You think it's going to be released on ps2 as well?...cos i'm not so "eager" on getting a ps3 just yet
Besides I've barely had time to play my fifa 08, which I thought was a bit disappointing with all the glitches and I just found it hard to score

Thanx guys!

JC
Enjoy it bro! Yep i900 is a monster hey, and MTN have it at such a low price! Nope not buying Fifa09 until i get my Xbox or PS3, im not buying anymore PS2 games, last one i got was Medal Of Honour Vanguard and i finished it with in a week
Gola
Thanx bro! Ye, Fifa08 on PS2 was messed up. I went to a friend's house and played it on both PS3 and Xbox360 in HD
i could never go back to playing it on PS2 after that i need a next gen console.
Posted by JC08
@ gucc. Gola, its available on ps3 and xbox, but Im getting it on pc! I have a logitech remote so I have to say its great playing on pc as the graphics is awesome! Im done with ps2 as well!

Going to get the E90 on a Top Up 315.Whats cool is they now have a finance deal where instead of having to pay in a hefty amount like R3599.00 you can pay it off monthly at R149.00 a month on top of your contract package.Ive for some reason have always blundered when it came to choosing a phone.Havent been patient enough.Example,,chose the 6680when i knew the N70 was just around the corner.Had a choice between the P990i and the E61 and chose the P990i when in hindsight I should have chosen the E61.When it came to upgrade time I was torn between the N95-2 and the E90.You know what choice I eventually made and now I regret it.The N95-2 is a fantastically brilliant phone but ....Ive never had a Communicator and I just bloody want one.Fullstop.I went into Vodashop yesterday and played on one.It is absolutely gorgeous.Love the QWERTY keyboard.Design wise I love everything about it.The size doesnt bother me at al.Going to do some serious homework on this phone.Visit blogs,read reviews,check the availability of third party app ect ect just to make sure that Im not making a huge mistake giving away my N95-2 which is sitting pretty with pretty much everything, for a phone that doesnt cover as much because of its arkward screensize.(one of the main reasons why I want the E90) Also miss a QWERTY keyboard.

Cue Yoda from Star Wars' voice: "Hmm, drawn you are, to E90's tractor beam. Dark Side runs deep in you, it does."
LOL, I guess you've had your heart set on that awesome Dark Side Delight for some time, Hobbster.
When's the big day?

Thats great man! Then you can get a iphone just to play around with!
Posted by HOBBS
@ Wanga Whens the big day? Very soon I hope because I cant stand it anymore.Im obsessed lol
Two ways I can go about getting it.
1)Walk in tomorrow and open up a third contract.
2)Or be patient and wait till the 7th of December when my friend gets the E90 on her contract and then make the E90/N95-2 swap.
Will have to see if my patience can hold out,but I think No.2 looks like the better plan at this stage.

Nearly bought a Blu-Ray DVD player today.
£99.95 (approx R1500) for a Samsung BD-P1400 at UK chainstore Currys, but after doing a fair bit of googling, as Wanqa does, it'll pay to be a bit more patient and wait for the newer players to emerge.
Still damn tempting though at that price though.

I don't know if its because it was just a dummy model but the Nokia E71's design unfortunitely get a thumbs down from me.I was excited seeing the pics on the net but when you got it in your hands it highly disappoints.In my opinion at least.

Hope u enjoy it Kryps.Its nice been able to chat to your facebook buddies direct from your phone.Also be warned,as soon as I created my gtalk and msn accounts i got friend requests from numerous strangers.Dont know how that is possible but yeah accepted the girls and rejected the boys and had some very insteresting chats.One girl kept on asking me if I wanted to watch her on her webcam feed and if I had a webcam and then suggested some stuff that i kindly turned down.There are some freaky people out there.What is the world coming to.

Would I need some hectic graphic cards and the whole what not if I were to play, let's say fifa 09 on my pc? 'cos all this time I've solely been depending on my ps2...

Woohoo! Voda just called, my K850 is ready, hopefuly its got R1F FW, must say this is the longest ive had to wait for a phone to be updated by them, i wonder what made them take so long???

@ gola, I dont think so mate! Fifa 08 can almost be played on any pc! Much better graphics than ps2 aswell! Dunno bout fifa09 though, but dont think youl need anything hectic
Posted by amawanqa
Thanks, Hobbster.
Well, today one of my colleagues brought this phone into school, and I just had to check it out and have a fiddle.
She is on a very high tariff, and still had to pay in £40 for it.
It was only in the shops yesterday and she's already got it.
A beautiful phone, fantastic finish, wonderful speakers and all those bells and whistles.
And her response (take into account she had a
W880i before this) when I asked her how she is experiencing it? "I find it slowww...!".
Sigh, I then had to explain to her what a smartphone is...

Posted by HOBBS
Thats hilarious Wangs.Shes has a sweet phone there.Educate her on its many powers.
Posted by amawanqa
LOL yeah, Obi Wanq-Kenobi will do his best; I began rattling off third party applications etc that she could run on it; at least she knew something about the GPS...
I must've sounded like a true super-geek mentioning all the features, and you just kinda know that despite all this, a year on from now I doubt more than a handful of apps will be used on it. 'Tis sad, but all she's really bothered with (at the mo) is calls, texting and maybe the odd pic...
Eish, I have my work cut out, LOL.
