Something strange I saw today:
Ok so yesterday I downloaded a firefox addon called Flagfox, its a little thing that shows you where the server of the website is located. The strage part is, it says www.sonyericsson.com is on an nz server
(yes I can confirm it works, right now it is displaying norway's flag)
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Really? Is it the SE New Zealand site or all of the SE global sites in general? I suppose it's possible, and it would explain the unreliability of the site.
Posted by yea g
My question is why in the world would you want to host your website in NZ???
And yeah, its all of the site in general (but developer.sonyericsson.com says asia pacific)

YYeeeeaaaaa!!! Got my X1 today. Hells yes this is a great WM device! I have had my fair share of work phones etc - all WM and I can tell you this is the bee knees! Super fast processing. Love it. C902 is on the shelf now with my K850 and crew! haha
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Oh man... Lucky! You're probably the proud owner of one of the first X1s to hit NZ.
Posted by yea g
Omg! you are so lucky! If I had that much money sitting around I might buy one, but until then

Hehe. Its so so cool! Was my first day actually using to today and I am VERY impressed. Of course I put it through its paces and boy did it perform! I have put heaps of mods etc but the coolest part was Tom Tom I installed with NZ maps. It didnt use gprs/3G/H once! It ran completely off the GPS. In the mix with today was a 1.5 hour drive and I used the GPS the whole time to come home (at 6.50pm) and still have 50% battery. I have used Wifi, bluetooth all day to my watch, sent about 25 txt, made maybe 3 calls (about 3-4 mins each), spent about 30 mins playing Bejeweled2 and then the GPS (screen on the whole time) and still have 50% battery?? Surely too good to be true? Guys, when ever you can you have to check this out in a shop or something. Its WAY cool!

Well I'm on hooooliday and have been for quite a while. I've been finishing off my (awesome) LittleBigPlanet level and earlier tonight went and saw Ricky Gervais' movie "Ghost Town" which was really good. I'd recommend it, its very funny as you'd expect from him.

hehe I spotted antoher NZer http://www.esato.com/board/bb_profile.php?mode=view&user=166201
Posted by frankthetank
I just PMed him to come and say hello over here
In other news, I took the plunge and debranded my K850i last night (So glad to see the ugly/annoying Vodafone stuff gone)
With all the buzz over in the DB3150 threads I'll probably be jumping on that bandwagon too, especially considering that it replaced a modded K800i!
Posted by yea g
Good for you, modded phones are awesome!
Posted by JiSm
reckon! I modded out my C902 and K850 with cam drivers and audio drivers as well as menus and they feel like new phones! I knew things would change once we could tutu with 3150s!

heys guys just got frankthetanks pm, so yea droppin by to say hi to my fellow NZers

Posted by frankthetank
Lol that pretty much sums it up
Welcome!
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
@enk39: You've been added to our New Zealanders list mate. Welcome to the fold!
I presume from your avatar that you're sporting a K850i. How are you liking it?
Posted by enk39
haha nah i don't have a k850i, it's the phone i'd reaally like to buy though. But i saw a great n82 deal( $500), was a bit worried about k850i's stability, brod etc and so i reached out for the n82 first.
I've had like 7 sony ericsson's in the past though

I am now very impressed with K850i with modifications done via A2uploader it's like a whole new phone!
I have flash menus, new icon set, media skins, no more vodafone logo in standby, W980 acoustic drivers and Strong's camera driver to start
I look forward to comparing results of different camera drivers as I think it has been a disappointment in stock form compared to the K800i
Posted by yea g
hehe we are reaching fior our next landmark - 1500 posts! NZers thread has surly sped up since september
Posted by frankthetank
Will this be page 100 lol???
Posted by yea g
soon, soon
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Looks like the W980 has finally hit Parallel Imported at $869. The C905 has been in for a week or two at $1099 and the X1 is out of stock at $1999. Not very tempting prices, what happened to their competitiveness?
Tell you what though... That white W350i Vodafone is selling is thoroughly tempting me. I love the slickness of the flip on it and in white it looks great!
Posted by JiSm
Parallel Imported in Auckland (East Tamaki) had 3 X1s when I went in for a car charger the other day. They said they only took 5 into stock when they got them in so not selling too well at that price huh! W980 isnt too bad a deal really - still could be $150 cheaper I think to be competitive. I used that phone for about 2 months at work and it was great! Software a little bit slower than I was used to but it had a different transition effect in menu navigation. The FM transmitter worked Primo too.
Posted by frankthetank
Yeah 1100 dollars is a lot to pay for a point and shoot camera with a phone built in lol
Posted by yea g
Glad I'm not geting mine from NZ
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Well my girlfriend is now officially getting a K770i for Christmas from me. Says she wants the black and luckily Vodafone's branding on the K770i extends only to a single Vodafone icon in the menu and the Vodafone logo on the outside! So she'll be getting a Vodafone one cause importers don't sell them any cheaper than Vodafone really.
Posted by yea g
Yeah, I noticed vodafone aren't heavily branding their phones now. The C702 and W350 I have seen only have a vodafone logo in the menu and on the outside.

I found another active Kiwi to join the fray!

Hi all
Went to the local cinema last night to see Quantum of Solace. Its good, but very full on and hard to follow in places. The highlight technology wise wasn't the phones but the touchscreen table computer and holographic imaging that MI6 headquarters' uses. It beats anything on CSI!
The car chase in the beginning is pretty realistic, in fact all the action feels like you're really there in the movie with the actors... startling and shocking at times but worth every minute. It's a must see.
