I knew i would regret saying what i said. Got this month's issue of Top Car. That GTR has the most disgusting interior ive ever seen in a car worth over a million, its back to the M3 then lol.
Thats true,isnt it the original idea of making the GTR was to build a car that was as powerful as a 911 Turbo at half that price or something?
Wanqs
No doubt i cant help but drool when i see a X6 especialy the X6-M, what a machine.
Brix
Welcome back! Have you tried changing mem cards? I remember the 4gb i had in my N81 would either corrupt or just not work at times, yet the 2gb that came with it and 8gb i got for it work just fine.
Gola
Haha! Cool, hopefuly that will be soon, the N97 was the 1st to be unhackable with the latest V20 or is it 21 fw? Anyway as soon as that is hackable then all the others including Satio should be hackable.
That California is freakin sweet, looks better than the rival Aston Martin Vantage.
By the way you heard Lloyd Banks new track featuring Juelz Santana- Beamer,Benz or Bentley? Not bad
Also Mariah Carey ft. Nicki Minaj, Up out my face, video is just too hot

THanks wanqs

I have no idea which version it was, lol.
Love the beats of the Juelz Sanatana track, also like that one ft C.Brown, Back to the Crib.
lol, ye, cool MC music video there, Nicki Manaj's side view of her face looks nothing like her front, lol...

hey guys.

so things are still a bit rough at work, but i did find time to put opera mini 5 beta through its paces on my droid, and it is super great. it beats the phones built in browser hands down. if only it supported flash it would have been good enough to replace my laptop as surfing device.

all in all, i can see big things for mini and android in the future.

@Tsepz_GP



Yeah, I saw the interior as well and it sucks! Pity really cause for what you pay you should get your money's worth. No one beats the Germans in car interiors unless you're Range Rover.

@Rhino08

I downloaded Opera5 (final version) but my experiences are rather mixed. It is nice to use but I found it somewhat slower than 4.2.

Make sure that you are sitting and that you have nothing valuable in your hand when you read this.

Would just like to say how i HATE the whole K53 crap. All i was left with in the yard was parallel parking, failed cause of my poor judgement, the car wasnt completely in. ah well, trying to get another date now.
Still gona celebrate the long weekend with a bang
Dups
Indeed,gota give it to Audi especialy,even the A3 has an amazing interior.
Gola
WOAH! wonder how long til we have that in our phones.

Posted by amawanqa
Ya Gucci, I duffed the same the first time I went on the K53; second time I made it. Good luck, boet.

@ all:
Tomorrow night I'll be in SA!

Dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday...I immediately took out the battery but as I did that I heard a sizzling sound, almost as if the screen was being fried. Tried drying it and switching it back on an hour later...fortunately it worked but only for a minute before it started acting up. In a panic I visited Vodashop, since my phone is supposedly insured and the lady there told me I could have a new phone next week...pretty chuffed with the excellent service.
@Tsepx: Homie, if you can't make it out the yard you have no business being on the road and scratching my car while making your umpteenth attempt at paralel parking.
Next time, try and be more relaxed, you probably won't go in there thinking it's a cake walk.

Posted by Hobbs
@GUCCI Homie,give Brix a slap on the side of the head I say.Better luck next time.lol

Posted by brix25
Hobbs, maybe I'm being all harsh because I passed my licence first time around after more than 20 lessons...if you want to learn how to drive, I suggest He & She driving school...the absolute best. There's a very simple technique to parallel parking. I'd expect ppl to fail on the incline. There's absolutely nothing from with the K53.

Posted by amawanqa
The captain's announced that there's thunderstorms late this afternoon & early evening over Jozi.Hopefully they'll be gone by the time I land. Mama Afrika, bra Wanqa's return is imminent, LOL.

Safe journey boet

20+ lessons, wow...
Are you going to get the same phone?

Posted by Hobbs
@Wangs Have a fantastic holiday.Im sure everytime you back home the experience is treasured. @Brix Dropping your phone in the toilet? Thank goodness its insured.Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that one.After a flush or before? Lol

Posted by brix25
@gola: Fortunately/unfortunately I'm getting the same phone...I kind of like the E66, it's not lightweight and does most things I throw at it...Ovi Maps are awesome work like a charm- consistently.

However, I'm always tempted by things like the iPhone 3GS and the plethora of Android phones currently available, especially from HTC (Hero comes to mind).

I could get myself another contract but I'd prefer spending an extra R500 on other, more pertinent things.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Lol,thanx guys. I was seriously nervous i gota say, but i think next time il be okay, i need to work on my speed ,and just be relaxed.
Brix
LMAO! Il have you know my driving in general is good. Incline start is nothing,it requires good clutch balancing,i got through that with no problem. If someone cant do incline then they are generaly screwed, the parallel parking i did was on an incline as the Randburg Testing station is on a hill. I did 12 driving lessons, im going to do another 2 though, just to make sure what happened on thursday doesnt happen again.
Wanqs
Welcome home!

Back to the crib is too fresh,like that one to, heard one CRAZY remix of Always Strapped and Bed rock at the club i was at last nite Always Strapped the beat just had what i think is High hats and kicks? Cant find it but wow.

Do the Anti-Religious and occult undertones of the entertainment industry have anything to do with it by any chance?

Anybody here looked at the AWB's FB wall? Some realy shocking things being written there, hardcore racism from both blacks and whites ,its all just so unecessary and stupid, and i can just see Julius fueling the fire at some point...

Lol, AWB has a FB page.
But yeah, it's pretty stupid what we still do and say to each other, people should just move on...

Posted by Dups!
Given our horrible history this sort of reaction I expected.

Racism is alive and well in South Africa, nothing's changed at all except that racists try to hide their tendencies in public.

And then we have the likes of Julius Malema who has been allowed too much freedom and power by the ANC.

To quote from the following: 'Too much power is not good for one man to handle'.

Watched it on friday nite with some friends, we STILL not over it, was not so sure in the beginning but the more i watched the better it got, he is excellent at his impersonations and SA accents,theres a part where he makes fun of Zuma walking into parliment drunk and 4hours late, tuning Helen Zille, had me in stitchs ,definetly a must see.

Unfortunately not a fan of Mr Noah.

Posted by Kryptik
@gola, thankfully not, boet, although I've advised two clients who've come up with what promises to be a kickass single to cast the bones and then to slaughter a herbivore or two, just to hedge our bets ever so slightly

Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me too much if that kinda thing really happened in some circles.


Posted by Dups!
I know Tsepz_GP will not like this but I for one am glad Manchester United have been knocked out of the Champions League.

After my favourite team in the UK (Arsenal) was embarrassed by Messi I so wished for ManU to be sent packing as well. Got my wish and am happy. Now to my second wish: Chelsea get that Premier league title!

Aahh, well... at least my favourite local team (Kaizer Chiefs) is still in with a chance to lift the Telkom Knockout trophy.

Good luck Khosi and bring it to Naturena!

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Lol,yah,sux, both my teams: ManU and Pirates realy disappointed me, atleast i know i kicked ass in the Micro-economics test i wrote today.

Posted by Dups!
Congratulations on the test!

Well done!

NOKIA E63, E66 AND E71 recieve new firmware, V410: http://dailymobile.se/2010/04[....]-firmware-version-v410-21-010/
Welcome back JK!!

Posted by amawanqa
On my way to East London. Had a bril time in Kroonstad at the motorbike rally and in Plett this past week. Apart from the ama-cheap-cheap offerings in Pep etc, anything more decent (phone-wise) on PAYG is clearly still way more expensive than where I've been living. I know it's a different market etc etc but I had hoped to see a closer gap between prices this time..

Ye man, she's killin it,that track is sick, she's become huge in such a short time,its madness.

Posted by Dups!
In two two months I am up for my second upgrade and there just is nothing to upgrade to once again. The last time in January I took a 9700 that is now in its box gathering dust.

I will never warm up to Samsung or LG even with the former churning out spectacularly specced phones, the Galaxy S being their latest. No Iphone... ever. Apple are yet to make a phone first. Then there's the most brilliant manufacturer HTC! Brilliant in that they know how to work the software and aren't shy to add the hardware, but again they can't make a phone first. Add to that poor signal reception, questionable call quality, poor camera quality and below par audio quality you end up with not much in my book.

So, my choices are SE, Nokia and Motorola. The X10 is quite a phone but lacks a physical QWERTY keyboard so it's a no go. The N900 is another one I love but slide out keyboard turns me off, only if it was an E71 variant. The same with the Milestone.

SE, Nokia and Motorola give me a portrait QWERTY phone with Maemo/Android!

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Lol, Dups, you must try find out if the Palm Pixi Plus is coming SA, otherwise you'll have to make an exception,and get a slide out QWERTY phone. That MOTOROLA Droid/Milestone realy has cought my eye,i know i wont get it but i just dig its design, must be the one Android i'd take over the N900 if i had a choice between the two.
Im waiting to find out how much the Vivaz/Vivaz Pro will be,i see the Satio is now free on my contract.

Posted by Dups!
Ya Tsepz, it is a tricky situation for me. Palm have gone under and so I don't want to touch them.

To be honest I am still hoping for Nokia to decide on a Maemo/Meego E-series, I would be so grateful for that device. I also have a feeling that SE is more likely to bring out a P1i/E71 type of Android phone sooner than Moto. Seems Moto is all about touchscreen only phones and nothing else this year, the only variant they seem to entertain is that of a slide-out keypad.

By the way, rumours are abound that the next generation walkman phone is on its way. Apparently it is a 16GB internal memory touchscreen plus Android device that resembles the Vivaz. I bet the camera will still be 8mp and will sound like the outstanding Aino in audio quality. It is said to be a flagship walkman for this year.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Nice! That sounds like the perfect HTC Legend/Hero rival. I thought SE had done away with Walkman and Cyber-shot branding though,and their media phones would be Entertainment Unlimited devices like Satio, Aino and Vivaz?

Posted by Dups!
On walkman they said they'll release low to mid-end walkman phones during this year. Seems they thought a high end walkman appealed to them which I think it is a brilliant idea after the sales of the W995i.

The walkman phone is not quite dead. They haven't said anything about cybershot yet.

Operamini is now available for iPhone users.Fantastic.Just installed and so far very impressed.I just got to like this iPhone a little bit more.
@Tzepz Give it a spin on your mothers iPhone and let me knowwhat u think.

HEY GUYS...

For the last few days i have been a little disgusted with my internet, i recently switched back to mweb (4 meg uncapped) and forgot to enable my proxy again, and thus, i was unable to log into esato.

Aww well. Just saying hi.

Posted by Hobbs
Hiya Rhino.How is that 4 meg uncapped from MWEB? What does your end of month GB tally look like at the end of the month? Im going to get the 384kb uncapped for R219.Any catches involved or can I download to my hearts content?

Posted by brix25
Hobbs: After 30gigs they throttled you badly which makes downloading anything a pain but then again that's the price you pay for uncapped. Personally I don't know why 30gigs should not be sufficient for any household. How many movies/albums does one actually need to download in a month? Some people have stacks of media stored on their hard drives which they'll never play.

Posted by jmash
Hey Hobbs,just installed Opera mini and it delivers man,it really rocks bro,good thing Apple approved it

I am currently on 26 gig for the month, and speeds and quality of service is great. I keep reading of people being throttled really badly, but i cant see any effect. I do limit my torrents to 15kbs during office hours however.

@brix, its the first that i hear about the 30gig "softcap" and being throttled after that. but i am almost there, then i will give further feedback.

Posted by Hobbs
@Jmash This Operamini is top notch.I am also extremely happy with it.

I used to move about 120gig/month on my 384 digichilli account, but i am currently checking out what MWEB will allow. I do want to use about 100GB a month, including youtube (which costs me about 1GB a day)

Awesome news, Drake has a new music video from his ALBUM, the song's called "over", great stuff bra...
Lol, have you seen Kanye's music video to "coldest winter"?

Posted by Tsepz_GP

Havent heard Ye's new track,il check it out ASAP
You heard the track 'Drop The World' by Weezy featuring Eminem? Ive been playing it since monday,and cant get over it,beat and the lines are on point.
Gota give it to Cash Money/Young Money, they've been in the game for over 10years and have come a long way from those wack lines back in the days of 'Still fly' and '#1 Stunna' lol.

Does anyone know if Vodafone and O2 of UK have some sort of partnership going on?

Wanqs, this one may be for you seeing that you are based in the UK.

I'm asking this because I was trying to send an MMS to a number out of the country but couldn't, I then requested MMS settings which Vodacom/Vodafone sent to me. What was strange was the inclusion of O2 MMS and internet settings.
