Noticed this morning Cell C saying business would go on as usual following the killing of their major shareholder in a suicide bomb blast in Lebanon.

You've obviously never lived over seas for more than a certain amount of years. It all sucks, but certain places have potential and certain places have used up their potential. The problem here in south africa is diverse and divided opinion. You got all the natives voting for pretty much one party, but you got the english voting for one, the afrikaans voting for three or four ( depending on where they're situated and how much "boerekos" they eat) and that leaves the coloureds, indians, asians and disillusioned natives very confused and not knowing which way to go.

@brix25: not you personally, just a general thing. I lived overseas... it's bad. Just the same as here.
Posted by brix25
@siosal: What are you on about. I was simply taking the piss out of the fact that Rhino lived in Bloem. Never mentioned anything about overseas.
Posted by Rhino8
Why you taking da piss on da day that im swamped wiv work? Anyway, they building a mini mall or summat at waterfront.
Posted by Siosal
Was actually talking to Rhino8 but you posted before i did and i got worried you would think i was referring to you. Sorry to cause confusion. Your comment was good though.
Posted by Rhino8
I aint saying that its easier in other countries, i just dont wanna live here no more. White ppl get criticised for shit our grand parents did. Like apartheid. We got nothing to do wiv it.
And i aint a racist by saying it, just stating a true fact.

Welcome. @Rick700i. Do you have to pay to register my friends?
Gotta get my firmwar updated this weekend...does that mean i have to redo all my settings?
Posted by Rhino8
What i wanna know tho is, how many sa ppl use services like my friends?
Posted by Siosal
@Rhino*, point taken. How many do use my freinds. @ all, on what do you guy's base your web handles, ie: how did you think up your names for the net?
Mine is my name in old gaelic. Saw it one day, liked the sound of it. Used it.
Posted by RicK700i
@ rhino8,probably less than 50 people in SA uses it.The service doesnt work yet.
Posted by Rhino8
@rick and yet according o vodacom there are a million off peak gprs. Off peak meaning not business hours. Where are they all?

Got to school one day wiv a major zit on my nose, one of my buds started calling me rhino. And it stuck.
Posted by RicK700i
I think the majority of the million people dont know about esato
Posted by Rhino8
So where are they? Aint that much on prodigits, nastie.co.uk doesnt have any, bubblewap doesnt either. Mopilot ....not really.
Posted by brix25
I think most of them are hanging out at Prodigits. This place here is especially for SE enthusiasts.
Any thoughts on the new K600?
Posted by Rhino8
I might just get the k6.doesnt sound too bad.
Posted by brix25
@Rhino: I've got the feeling that the K600 and Z800 might be offered exclusively by MTN when they launch 3G in Q3.
Posted by Rhino8
f**k MTN. I wont buy it. MTN is a shit network, but if they launch 3g it might become cheaper. Do you think voda will allow that, without doing something to better it?
Posted by mario2002
3G on MTN? Where did you hear that? Is it for real or just a rumor? I know for a fact (technician at MTN) they are spending quite a bit to update their 2.5G to handle EDGE.While not as fast as UMTS (after all is stil the same good old GSM), is still 3x faster then GPRS.3G is another 3x faster then EDGE ! They will have to go 3G sooner or later, but I don't think this year.(althou they may be able to run trials on a few selected towers by the years end)
Posted by brix25
The mid-year launch of 3G by MTN was dependant on market demand for Vodacom's 3G service...so far very few people have subscribed to the service just from my observation.
Posted by Rhino8
According to voda all you need to use 3g is a 3g phone, or the data card. No subscribing, but if you dont have the 3g contract you pay the same for 3g than noRmal gprs. And there wont be alot of 3g users yet, coz of the fact that the only 3g phone over here, that i know of, is moto.
@brix. You said that k 6and v800 will be exclusive to MTN, how can this be if v800 is exclusive to vodafone in uk at the mo? I may be wrong.
Posted by brix25
@Rhino: I think I said the Z800...the unbranded version of the V800 without the Vodafone menu.
Posted by Siosal
@Rhino8: Ouch, I can't believe you would keep a name that stems from that incident, but it does sound cool.
Don't you guys wish SE would make a more aesthetically pleasing clamshell phone, like some of the samsungs. Candy bar wise i feel that SE are right on the money but their clamshell range just don't do it for me.
@all, please guys, some have you have some seriously interesting handles and Rhino8 and i are the only one's saying how we got ours. Whats your inspiration?
Posted by Rhino8
1st- I cant see why@brix
2nd- And i kept my name coz it sounds rough.
3rd- clamshell phones doesnt work for me. They are shit.
4th- am going to fire my fvcking assistant. She just got here hours late- didnt even phone.

I love cats - that's where my name comes from.
Posted by Siosal

@siosal - I'll def take u up on that one, thanx!
Posted by Rhino8
Welcom cat. I also got k7 so just ask away on here.

I got this name from a famous South Africa football player of the 80s who played for my favourite team Sundowns...BTW his name was "Bricks" Mudau...I'm also a huge fan of the 80s "Brix" video game...endless hours of frustration.
Posted by Rhino8
Video game brix.... Like tetris?
Posted by brix25
@Rhino: I used to play it on my T300 until I had to part with it in Novermber last year....cool game.
Posted by Rhino8
T300 is one of the best. I had mine for a year and then sold it to my bro, he had it for a year untill recently. And we are hard on phones.
Posted by brix25
@Rhino...The phone has got it's issues( bad polyphonic tones and iffy reception) but the best feature on the phone is definitely the Mophun games. And yeah you can pretty much throw it about, it's as tough as Free State prop....Cheese van Tonder ring any bells?
Posted by Rhino8
Lol.
I seen an ad sumwhere that either lg or samsung got a phone with mpeg vid recorder.
Posted by brix25
I think any phone over R2200 comes with an mpeg4 video recorder.
Posted by Rhino8
K700 use 3gp vid,and play mp4 and 3gp!
Posted by brix25
I'm speaking under correction but don't Moto use mpeg4 in their phones like the V600 and E398?
Posted by Rhino8
I dnt knw. I wont eva toutch moto or siemens. They da crapest. Had a moto t720 when it came out. Biggest piece o shite.
Posted by brix25
Haven't used too many Moto's but had a shitty one back in the day. Only problem I have currentl have with Moto is the UI.
