The Prime Peruvian Poster on esato has now posted an "official" pic of the N900 (no, not the first pic in the thread link below, LOL):

"How do your weapons work?" An unmistakable, thick SA accent catches my attention as it plays on the TV a few moments ago. Yup, District 9 is now being advertised on the box here too.

@GUCCI
From what I read about SE's netbook it seems it is still a way off, maybe next year. Unless SE intends surprising us which I doubt considering their laid back nature.
It's 03h21 and I just can't sleep! Lately I'm having trouble sleeping. For the past week and a half I wake up at around 2 or just after 3 and can't sleep after that no matter how early I have slept. I'm not the sort of person who takes or would even consider sleeping tablets. I'm just afraid this is going to take its toll on me if it goes on for longer.
I hate this!

It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it.

I'm very suprised the Booklet is not running Maemo. The announcement wasn't unexpected just didn't think that Nokia would stick with M$. But I should add that XP SP3 is pretty rock-solid.

Another dumbed-down 5800 offshoot announced by The Dark Side today, this time the 5230. Lose the 3.2mp cam and wi-fi and get 3G, GPS and a fixed-focus 2mp cam instead  :

LOL Hobbster. Oh well, a deviation then  :
'Taken from GSMArena:
LG Arena hits the million mark in sales worldwide
25 August, 2009
Today LG proudly announced that their multimedia handset LG KM900 Arena exceeded one million units sold around the world, following the steps of the 5 million Cookies and 5 million Viewties spread around the globe.
LG Arena was announced back in February during the MWC 2009 and was released in late April this year. It targeted the multimedia class and its pre-orders and first week sales were very promising (actually LG were touting one million pre-orders and subsequently orders even back then). However it seems that now, four months later, they've finally hit the millionth milestone for real.
While LG gives the credit of Arena's success to the attractive S-Class interface, the Dolby and DivX technologies and the "outstanding" audio and visual experience, it's more likely good marketing more than anything else, if you ask us.
We admit we are fans of the S-class UI and the LG Arena as a whole, but as user reports have it, it's been plagued by several issues concerning poor implementation of features or just plain limitations.
The Dolby sound enhancement may be nice, but the DivX playback capabilities are pretty limited (video resolution and bitrate wise). There are also numerous issues with the integrated GPS receiver and there is hardly an adequate Java SatNav software available.
And finally, the available third-party applications are not quite optimized for the LG Arena high-res touchscreen display and most of the times you get low resolution output and unwieldy on-screen controls that offer average user-friendliness.
LG Arena sold in one million units in 53 countries across the globe and we bet its success is far from ending. If LG continue their good marketing strategy and put their foot down to the metal with their upcoming AppStore, we are sure that the KM900 Arena will join the LG Cookie and LG Viewty on the 5-million podium.'

@ Gucci:
Ya, LG took over third spot (from Motorola) at the end of 2008, if memory serves me correctly.

Saw bits of the arrival by the South African athletes on the box and I was disgusted how it had been hijacked by politicians. What annoyed me most was the victim-card that was being played...if we are to move on as a nation, we should stop perpetuate the stereotype of black people being passive victims to some other evil white forces, all conspiring to oppress us. Was the IAAF really racist in calling for Mokgadi's gender to be verified.
