Theres no way on an upgrade will I not get a HSDPA phone.That would be ludicrous given that I use my phone mainly for browsing.How often do I use my camera.Not very much so a 3.2mp should be a sufficient step up.Ive browsed on a 1.8mbps second connection and its a damn pleasant experience.Click,second,page is loaded.My cup of tea.That Indonesia Blog is definitely the coolest UIQ3 blog Ive ever come across.That man is King when it comes to making the most out of your phone.Hes made me think twice about this upgrade and that maybe theres still a lot of juice left in this outdated P990i dinosaur yet.Its about making the most of what you have before prematurely progressing onto the next best thing.Just got back from my gramps's 80th birthday bash.Had a jol.120 family and extended family strong.Was a pretty interesting evening.

Ya, HSDPA certainly has its place. Fortunately both at home and at work there's unlimited broadband browsing.
Wi-fi is patchy to say the least, and data rates here make browsing a rather expensive (ludicrous) affair, unless one either opts for the £1-a-day unlimited surfing or £7.50 a month (approx R110) on top of the tariff or calltime for monthly unlimited phone browsing with the likes of T-Mobile, O2 or whoever.
Either way, I'd be dof to use it with what I have around me. Only if we're out n' about would it come into its own, but if I'm kuiering by friends, I'm not going to bury myself in cellphone browsing instead of socialising.
Irrespective which way one looks at it, it would've been nice to have the option; it is a pity that it is missing, but for the foreseeable future, it'll certainly not be a pivotal factor when deciding my next handset.

@ tranced,
That's unacceptably poor service, mate. Is there no way you can take it to another phone repair/service centre?
That's as bad service as what Jmash has experienced with his P1i in SA. Honestly, form my ivory tower, I don't know how some of these repair places get away with being so tardy and delivering such pathetic service.
It's just unacceptable in anyone's language.

@ Jmash
Eish sorry to hear that, like Wanqa said its pathetic service! A friend of mine sent in his Samsung D900i for repairs because the Charger/Headset port stopped working two weeks ago and he's had the same response.
@ Hobbs
Yep my next phone has also got to have HSDPA, I don't understand why NOKIA left it out on the N81. My only problem with high data speed is that after a while of surfing with 3G or HSDPA the phone starts to get quite warm and a bit uncomfortable.
Going to be playing on an N82 tomorrow!!, thats if my buddy with the N95-8gb remembers to bring it.

it seems the phone's fixed. when i went to the shop, i asked to a guy there that if he's seen him(the man who was fixing it) with a w800 and he said yes. he was even using it. so it means that the phone's fixed already.
im hoping he's really fixed it.

@ tranced,
Fingers crossed that they've fixed it properly. Hopefully it's also not picked up any additional marks or scratches while it's been there, i.e. that they've taken very good care of it.
When I took the N73 in for a firmware update by the official Nokia service centre in central London, I politely forewarned the guy that the phone has strong sentimental value (LOL) and that I'd be expecting to see it in exactly the same cared-for condition as when I left it there.
A few hours later (they were very busy), I collected the N73 and the exterior was indeed exactly how I left it, with the new firmware installed.

Well guys, for now the SA thread is the 6th biggest thread ever on esato!
http://www.esato.com/board/stats.php
The Slovak, Indian, UK, Philippine and (soon to be) Dominican threads lead the way, plus the non-regional chat thread.
Still, for a relatively small, dedicated band of cellphone technology geekstas from SA, it's certainly not too shabby, hey?
Well done to one an' all!

Hobbs, speaking of your grandpa, did you ever get stuck into that writing-box restoration project?
Wanqa, not bad going indeed, the thread has really grown by leaps and bounds since Brix got it started.
