hehehe i like that last one Jojo, about making it run afterwards. I'm afraid that whenever i've disassembled something there are inevitably pocket screws left after reassembly, i.e. those screws which belong SOMEWHERE inside whatever i'm tinkering on, but i'm not exactly sure where they fit... so they end up in my pocket while i keep my fingers crossed that everything works like it should

Not for me.
According to an apple press release the lack of 3G is due to lower battery life, they will only add 3G when battery technology allows for at least 5 hours of talk time on 3G...
I think he has a fair arguement

Can't see the iPhone making an appearance this side, or any network clamouring to get it- maybe Cell C. Imagine shining away two years of your life on something that will be redundant within a year. There's already talk that Apple plan on releasing a 3G version next year packed with GPS. By that time SE and Nokia would've mid-low end phones out that support both technologies...hell, the K550 already does albeit with a wired attachment.

@ JC,
I hardly use 3G, so the N73 is set to GSM only. As a result the standby is really good; about a week if I'm just using the P900 and only making the odd call or a few pics with the N73. Obviously, if I used it more frequently, probably a good 3 days.
(unless I'm at a bike show or the sort, where I'll nail that battery in a about a day with all the hour-upon-hour of endless happy-snapping, for example.) 
Are you bound by a specific deadline? Waiting a few more months should pay dividends when the likes of the N81, K850i et al are out. How would you feel getting a N73 now and then a few months down the line you might be regretting not waiting that bit longer when these latest offerings are out...? Having said all this, the N73 (with the updated firmware) is a fine handset. Haven't seen too many of the Music Edition ones.
@ Jojo,
LOL no mate, I can do the basics, but I wouldn't have an idea how to fiddle around with the fuel injection mapping etc. The exhausts, filters etc are easy enough to put on myself though. I'm taking it to a performance-tuning bike shop who have the necessary equipment and know-how. Installing the things is quite straight-forward, but I won't fiddle with engine internals or set-up myself; that's outa my league.
Have to agree with The Brixster about the iPhone and what it currently offers. One can foresee what Apple will be having out on the market in the forseeable future, but who knows what Nokia will be exposing us to over the same time frame...

@ Ama you find that 'extraordinaire' ?. How about this . . .
__._,_.___
Subj. : Coconut English vs. Pigeon English.

5. She has no rigors or shaking chills, but her husband states she was very hot in bed last night.
6. Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.
7. On the second day the knee was better, and on the third day it disappeared.
8. The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed.
9. The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993.
10. Discharge status: Alive but without my permission.
11. Healthy appearing decrepit 69-year old male, mentally alert but forgetful.

20. I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for physical therapy.
21. Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation.

23. The lab test indicated abnormal lover function.
24. Skin: somewhat pale but present.
25. The pelvic exam will be done later on the floor.
26. Large brown stool ambulating in the hall.
27. Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities
__._,_.___
After reading the above, I wanted to scan a page out of my Station’s OB (occurrence book) kept in the CSC (community service center) but the station comander Supt. (Mpepo) refused to give permission.
Nevertheless, here is a picture published in the newspapers some years ago while they visited the station. The original was b/w – subsequently colored in by a local (Jeffrey’s Bay) policeman while on night duty after seeing some colleagues looking just as in the pic 
Talking from personal experience - not the change in management but the total breakdown of discipline was my biggest hurdle to conquer in the new SAPS

Hello South Africa 
@mario,Nice medical log entry collection there
Saw my first Twenty20 match tonight... India Vs England.
Yuvraj was on fire with his 36 runs from 1 over.  I think Flintoff inspired him  Gambhir,Sehwag and Dhoni played well.
Tomorrow India is playing against SA ...Any predictions??
i will miss it as i will be in ER in the hospital 
Btw,saw some tourism shots of SA...Beautiful Country!!!

Shubh sundhyaa, Doc.
Yuvraj Singh's 50 off a record 12 balls was incredible. It really made the difference in the match.
Should be a good match tomorrow. SA haven't lost in the tournament yet and India are really starting to 'peak' with their Twenty20 performances now.
Good luck in ER tomorrow. Perhaps you'll be able to follow the match on your P990i. Hopefully you'll be able to see a highlights package on TV later, although watching an entire Twenty20 is almost like watching a highlights package in itself.

@krypton - I'm just basing my reply to my experience . . . which I do NOT have any when it comes to Big Bikes
@dad - Yeah, I agree ! The only thing I do with my bike then is, clean it entirely with hose and water . . have the TIRE covered with tire-black . . . and the SIMPLEST are: converting the gasoline from GASOLINE to DIESEL . . . and . . . PUT a stick-shift, so I can ride the bike in REVERSE-mode - those 2 are just piece-of-cake to me . . . .  !

Hehehe i recall the first time i tried to do the brakes on a car... nearly ended up killing a tree in my attempt to stop after the brake pedal fell flat onto the floorboards, since i had successfully neglected to bleed the system after installing new pads and shoes
Mario, that pic had me in stitches!! Hehehe welcome to the E.Cape
Today is my wedding anniversary. A buddy of mine at the radio station thoughtfully informed over half a million listeners that Mrs.K must be the strongest woman he knows, since no ordinary human being would be able to maintain her sanity after 10 years of my company
Have a stunning day folks
