@GUCCI: Don't have DStv but that's why we have things like twitter. Do you know of a good app with which you can update twitter, or even check for trending topics or search for topics? Snaptu is ok but there must be something better out there for S60v3.

Grrr:-( Installed it but it won't open up says something about certificate error.

EDIT: I managed to sort it out. Just had to go into the AppManager and switch off the online check.

Oh okay, good,glad you were able to sort it out, what do you think of it? Theres another client for S60, Tweets60, doesnt have all the bells and whistles of Gravity, but its nice for quick tweets: http://files.getdropbox.com/u[....]weets60.1.26.S60v3%20s60v5.zip

@GUCCI: Personally I like bells and whistles, tired of replicating my peasant existance on my phone. Gravity is awesome, although I'm still getting to grips with it. Didn't/couldn't watch the rugby.

Congratulations to the Boks!

Guys, how many e-mail addresses do you all have? I just realized I have 3 but hardly use the other one. As a matter of fact, the last time I used it was in January.

My main one is gmail then yahoo. Microsoft's live is the least used. I even forget about it even if it is linked to gmail.

@Dups! For about five years my main, probably only, email has been craggybitsATgmail.com. Used to be with Hotmail but they lost me when Gmail came out promising 2Gig of space along with an excellent spam filter which meant I no longer had to weed through the email requests from family members of deposed African dictators and corrupt officials requesting my assistance in transferring cash. I still maintain an account with Yahoo and MSN but that's mostly for the purpose of instant messaging and things like Flickr.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nicely put brix!
Too many people have fallen prey to those scams.

It is the same case with me, I dropped Microsoft for the same reasons. Though I must admit that hotmail's layout is simply brilliant and easy to use.
Like Opera, it would be the most beautiful.

Basically Google landed both Yahoo and Microsoft with a sucker punch and they're still on the floor wiping blood off their noses. Seriously man, I suspect they might have given up on email as business and soon, I suspect it might go the way of MSN Chat...lots of users but no discernable way of extracting revenue since Gmail does it 10 times better with AdWords.

@ Dups:

Ya I've got a few email addresses myself, but have never bothered with Hotmail.
Yahoo and Gmail are my two; and one I use for all online transactions i.e. eBay, Ticket Factory etc.

Also have a separate one at work, which I obviously only use for work-related stuff.

WRT swine flu, 2 kids in my class had it. Both recovered relatively quickly (compared to what we initially imagined, particularly with all the media hype) and were back at school after a week. A total of 14 kids in the school (that we knew about) had it by the time the holidays started.

The schools here that had 'clusters' of swine flew cases did not close earlier (before the Summer holidays here) as a result of H1N1 spreading either.

OK, after a bit of experimenting, I used the P1i's 'solarize' option, then selected the sepia option straight after that on the same solarized pic. This is the result:
