I was prepared to wait until July but my mom wants the iPhone5 so we have swapped upgrade dates, it makes sense for me as the Nexus Prime will get updates for at least 2years straight from Google so I won't have to worry about it becoming outdated too soon, so I agreed lol.
Would you consider another SE Droid?
Posted by Hobbs
If the specs are up to date come June 3,then yes I'll consider another SE Droid.For sure.

Ek kan nie se ek is verbaas nie, Hobbs. Ek en wanqs was reg, dit is hartseer maar dit sou gebeur het een tyd of ander.
To be fair though, the Springboks did come out to play. It just wasn't meant to be and the Aussies were lucky. As they sometimes say, you need luck at times in sport.

The head guy of Cyanogen said X10 will get it in a few days, its just missing some documentation, just have to be a little bit more patient

Hobbs, are you finding Wolfbreak's V6 ROM can lag a bit at times? I do, it actually gets annoying especially since I use T9 as my prefered way of text entry, some times I type a whole word and it takes a second to appear, his V4 ROM was so much better, even battery life wise, can't wait for CM7.1 even more now, I'm going to dump Wolfbreaks V6 immedietly when that's released.
Posted by Hobbs
Tsepz Thank goodness its not just me.Absolutely.That was why I changed a while back to Z's Rom but then I couldnt get the wifi to work so I went back to Wolfbreak.If Z's wifi connected I would dump this rom.Bring on CM7.1.Let me know when its released.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Will do, for now to reduce lag im using LauncherPro, just to hold me over til CM7.1 arrives.
Posted by Hobbs
Installed Bolt Browser.Tried it.Uninstalled.Not a happy app.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep, it still needs a lot of work, I was one of the thousand who were trialing the private Beta, and the only difference I see between yesterday's public release and the Beta is the Bolt Browser icon, the rest is pretty much how it was in beta.

Hi Guys
Yip, I'm still breathing, my almost 2 year old Satio on the other hand is barely keeping up. The alarm clock "forgot" to ring this morning.
Hope everyone is still well...
Quite embarrassingly, I think this is my first post here this year, but i could never forget Esato. In my abscence from Esato, I've become quite the Apple fan, pretty sad news the other day about Steve though, still can't believe it.
Posted by Hobbs
Hey Gola man.Hanging around those Apple fansites are you? Do you have an iPhone 3GS/4? Ive forgotten.Steve Jobs dying is very sad news,although personally I dont really feel anything on the matter.We live.We die.lol Who will be next face to shake the mobile world? That my friend is the question.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Great to see you back around these parts Gola!
Where have you been hiding bro?
Will you be leaving your Satio for a iPhone4S? Apple have come a long way, to think how crappy the camera is on the 3GS is and what a giant leap they made from that in the iPhone4.
Posted by Hobbs
Tsepz Wifi working on Z's rom so have switched.So nice to be able to speed type again without any lag.I'm a big fan of this mans work.Speedy smooth.

Posted by Dups!
Not quite, Hobbs. It is as slow as hell! I realised yesterday that I am actually paying Vodacom for something I don't use, I stopped using my 9700 a long time ago. I decided to check whether we we affected over here yesterday. Damn!
Posted by amawanqa
Hey Hobbster,
You watching the Proteas..? Eish, 3 wickets in one over..
Too much work left till the end to try and get a decent score, and now things are falling apart like a cheap watch... again. Dammit! I really wish I had more faith in them..
Posted by gola
Hobbs
Haha, not really, just cultofmac.com, nothing's quite like Esato though.
I'm not ready for the limitations of an Iphone yet, though I do want one badly. I have never looked back since I got a M ac, now PCs look ancient. I know iOS will be just as great. I'm loving my Mac, I guess that's why I was saddened by Steve's passing, true genius. I think it's going to be hard for someone to match him, props to the next guy who does.
Tsepz
It's always good to be back, I've been around, it's been a tough year, working and doing my final year - can't say neither are going very well though
( i missed this smiley lol)
How things on your side?
I'm afraid I'll have to stick with my Satio, if only the announced iphone was iphone 5 not a slight speed bump, would've sold one of my lungs.
Lol, that 3gs camera was a waste of time, but I seem to be less concerned about the camera quality of phones lately, cos I don't take as many photos with my phone any more.
I was expecting that you'd have the GS2 by now ? ? ?
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Hobbs
Nice, I'm tempted to go back to v4 or maybe just try Z's ROM as i simply can't stand this ROM anymore, its laggy and eats battery like crazy, Wolfbreak always starts off great then his ROMs go down the toilet, in v4 I never even gave a though to battery life unless I was test I g an app.
Gola
Eish, at least you'll be done by end of this year, when are your final exams?
I'm awesome as always, getting ready for my final exams for the year which begin next friday, so trying hard to go easy on the gadgets but that's clearly not happening.
Cant blame you, hopefuly Apple don't disappoint next year.
Lol, I wish I had a Galaxy S2, I got the Galaxy Tab10.1 though so I've been enjoying Android on dual core for a while now, in december I may get a Sensation XE Beats audio if the Nexus Prime isn't here by then or maybe even a GS2 but I'm just not convinced by its screen Res especially after seeing the Android Ice Cream Sandwich leaked vid, we'll see.

Did you watch Top Gear last night? BMW 1series M made mince meat of the Porsche Cayman R and Lotus Evora

tsepz having xrecovery makes switching between roms so so easy.so i say download z's rom,fire it up,if you dont like it,switch back to wolfbreaks v4 (quite a few people feel the same way you do.i never tried his v4 rom so dont know how good it is).I'm just waiting for the bugger z to get back from wherever the hell he has gone and update his rom.(u give these devs donations for a new phone and what do they do,go on holiday to the caribbean.

dups ok,almost back up and running.how long is your 9700 contract still running for?

@Tsepz_GP
No, I didn't watch that. That 1 M is potent I tell you. It is practically an M3 in a smaller package, makes me wonder how the next M3 is going to be like.
By the way, BMW are unveiling the new 3 series today. I actually have seen the car about two years ago. My cousin worked for Siemens at that time and had German colleagues who went back home during the December holidays and came back with this German magazine with all the upcoming German cars.
The book was in German but they had all the upcoming BMWs, Audis, VWs and Mercedes Benzs. The new 3 series is a beauty of car. I aslo like the upcoming Z10 in there. As for Audi, they all looked the same, it was difficult for me to tell the difference. I like Mercedes' design strategy, they make their cars look different to each other unlike Audi and to an extent BMW. I like BMW but their cars are now almost like Audi, the 5 series is a smaller 7 and the upcoming 3 is even a smaller 7 but a very sexy one compare to the two big brothers.
@Hobbs
I took the 9700 last year so I am about 5 months away from upgrading. I am going Android next year, no two ways about it. I hoped for the iPhone 5 this but the 4S is small for my liking. I need a 4.3'' to 4.5''. I am still going Blackberry with Cell C as soon as QNX is ready and phones running it are released. I am quite impressed by Cell C's prepaid offerings since I ported to them. I gues I will be converting to contract next year over at Cell C.

I considered getting Z's ROM last night but i saw that it lacks wi-fi tethering which i sometimes use for the tab if its HSDPA acts up.
Just realised i deleted v4 off my mem card without backing it up, i know, brightspark moment lok, pso what ive done is got the TSFBES Remover, it removes Timescape, FB for Xperia and Event Stream, i never use Timescape and hardly on Facebook since being addicted to Twitter so its fine, and the phone speed has increased, also the battery life has improved, used my phone to update twitter, and browse the web a bit, it went down to 95%, i studied for an hour checked my phone and it was still at 95%, left it for another 30mins and it only dropped to 94%, happy so far.
Dups
Cant wait to see it, especialy if it looks anything like the new 7.
Yeah, Audis are all too similar the only ones i can tell apart are the A1 and A3.
Wish we got those types of magazines
were they spyshots or proper press pics of the new cars?
Posted by Dups!
You know, I still don't know how that book was able to get all those pictures. They were clear, full length pictures of those cars from all angles. Being given access to such info or pics is unheard of, I was actually surprised that the internet car sites never had those pictures.
I suspect that magazine has an agreement or an arrangement with the German manufacturers cause I even saw the new 1 series in there.
My brother still has the book, my cousin gave it to him, I will get it from him.
Posted by Dups!
@Tsepz_GP
In hindsight, I should've suspected this. I got the book from my brother and it turns out those are renditions of the cars. They are nothing like the new cars. I did wonder why they would have those at least two year before they are released.
The rendered 3 series is stunning compared to the one unveiled yesterday. In fact, I think the new 3 is ugly! The 5 is actually much, much better IMO.
They should hire the artist who did those renditions, he/she is brilliant.
From now on I am staying away from books I can't read and make sense of.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Ahh i see, makes sense, but i guess they are a good way of giving a clue of what could be unveiled.
Im going to keep an eye out for the new 3, some of these Beemers take time to grow on you, i remember thinking the previous 5series looked weird but after sometime i loved it.
The new 1 also looks weird at the front lol, one drove past me on Main RD the other day, it mas a 118i if im not mistaken, clearly on its way to a dealership as it had the metal silver plate written BMW 1series, looks nice at the back, but front will take some getting used to, it will look great with a bodykit.
Posted by Dups!
I agree, some Bimmers take time to grow on you, I also had problems with the X6 but now I prefer it over the X5.
I have to say, though, that the new 1 series is the worst BMW design in front. It looks like something from a cartoon movie, I find it hideous! The back is nice but the front. It actually reminds me of the X1, I tried to get used to the X1 but I just can't. It is slightly better than the 1 series but it look odd in front.

Lol, ya, after this no more schooling for a while. I'll be beginning with my first exam on the other Friday. All the best with your exams as well bro.
Once a tech junky, always a tech junky.
Congrats on the Tab, I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing one as of yet.
I've always thought that HTC's were for the grown ups and I didn't think that any HTC would appeal to me even when I heard that they will be collaborating with Beats Audio, but I must say how very wrong I was. I especially love the red accents on the Sensation, freaken awesome. Kinda reminds me of the red stitched leather interior of the new sports 3 series...
I can only imagine how Watch the Throne might sound like with Beats Audio. Kanye did it again.

This is my upgrade.The Galaxy Note.I like big phones.Look how tiny that iPhone looks.

That is massive! I can't see myself with such a gigantic phone.
A 4.5'' screen is perfect for me.

Tsepz The reason why Im getting itchy feet is because the XDA X10 development seems to be crawling to a standstill.Nothing happening.Starting to feel like its time for us to move on to greener pastures.See,Im already starting to bullshit myself into an early upgrade
Buy out my remaining months.Thats what I say.
Posted by Tsepz_GP

Yeah man, cant wait to use those headphones! Ive had a brief listen to some tracks from Watch the Throne, and its sick, Kanye is on one
lol, he just cant stop making hot music.
You know what song im realy loving at the moment with Kanye? Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay with Big Sean, Line of the year: "She's so cool, give head with her shades on"
Dup
The X1 is odd, although i love how it looks at the front with the sports pack kit, but the rest of it is wack.
Hobbs
Dont you dare upgrade before me, i had to watch you for a month with the X10
Yeah i think its about that time, its been a great 1st run with Android but our X10s must retire, or atleast make way for some 4.3inch or above display and dual-core goodness...im not helping you decide against it
Im not joining you with the Galaxy Note though, that thing is WAY too big lol, but its got some juicy specs.

I wouldn't worry about that Tsepz.I'm going to be watching you yakking on about your new phone for at least 5 months before I upgrade.Its going to be painful.

Hello guys! I hope you don't mind me hanging out here cause there is no forum for Zimbabwe!
Been a while since I was here (esato), having ditched SE after the P990 and X1 debacle for HTC (Desire) and some Android goodness. I see that SE are making some pretty sweet devices now and perhaps I should forgive them? Case in point Xperia Arc S!
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Welcome Geezay
Yep, SE seem to be making some sweet devices lately, only reason im not sticking with them is cause their hardware is a bit outdated now, if they could bring a Arc type design with dual-core, 540x960 res display and 12MP Camera they could so easily begin climbing back up to the top, i just dont understand whats stopping them going all out.
