Yeah, I'd cetainly go along with that.
After a diet of mainly S60 and UIQ, it usually 'surprises' me how 'quick' my old classics, the T610 and T630, are in comparison. (although I don't use these that much nowadays).

I have more important things to do, but i have been craving to post the following pictures:
The street in front of our company's remises...like 200 billion busses pass here daily...hehe!
More quiet picture of the scene...
Some night photos, playing with a strobe in a glass of gin and dry lemon:
A letter from Trevor Manuel to one of the teachers at the school where we are busy at the moment..bad light, bad pic...
The new Mac's at the school...lucky kids!
This was from a poster at the school...hehe!
Thats it from me!

hey guys i'm also deciding between the p990 and w950,i'm happy with my current v3x and w800 but since my contract is already due for an upgrade i figured why not just get something interesting  just two questions guys since i think the p990 is making more sense.firstly does that size get into a bootleg jeans pocket easily? and what software problems are affecting SA versions?

@francois, nice pics, I especially like the second and third one.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

@ Francois,
Ya, I really dig that third pic too, boet; very creative and the desired effect seems to be very well captured by the cam.
Good stuff!

Wow, some very good pix Deluded and Francois!!!
So, it's Friday... and although as a rule i don't watch much sport, i happened to catch that remarkable over by Gibbs, 6 sixes!!! The commentator mentioned that Johnny Walker would also donate one million dollars to the charity of his choice. Nice going there Herschelle

The cricinfo commentary said it all:
"Never before have so many SIXES been smashed in a one-dayer, never before has anyone clattered 36 in a one-day over (Gibbs), never before has a World Cup fifty come faster (Boucher), never before have so many batsmen devoured so many bowlers with so little ease. South Africa have created one royal mess here at Warner Park and it will take some beating."

Go with the P990i.Ive had mine for two days now and Im in love with it..Browsing on this phone is a real pleasure with the big screen and been able to switch to landscape mode and this qwerty keyboard is heaven.The key is to grow your thumbnails and then slightly file them down into a V and BAM you typing a million words a minute.Love the RDS.It scanned all the radio stations with names-5fm goodhope ect.Music player is awesome(cant wait to get wireless headphones and 2GB SD card) Camera very good.Set the calibration to very sensitive for the stylus making the touchscreen a dream to use.UIQ is king.Dont think I'll ever look back now.Goodbye S60.Thanks for your mediocre introduction to the world of Symbian. |

cool beans. now i want to play on a p990!hehe!
i just realised one thing, Pretoria is a very pretty city late afternoons. the problem is finding places to get pictures. the (excuse of a) mountain catches the sun nicely late afternoons this time of year. just finding that spot to take pictures...wish i could show it! pretty sunsets every night.
iottm sleep. later then!

@HOBBS
I envy you Bro.That's a really cool phone you got there.ENJOY & welcome to UlQ.Before you buy the memory card just double check.I think it's not a SD card you should get.It's a Memory Stick Duo Pro.

Just make sure you have the latest firmware version (feb) installed to save disappointment later on. Is the camera better then the N73's? Is a pity it does not support EDGE  You chaps better hold fingers crossed for me. We have a paragliding comp. today and if I don't make it in the top 3 my wife won't agree to buy me a new glider.(she is financing 1/3) Last time I come in last. Today we will only be 7 or 8 pilots. My problem is - I don't perform well under pressure,even more so if I regard the task at hand as a hobby which usually helps me relax. |

Good luck Mario.At least come second last this time.Dont know about the camera been better than N73.Havent played around much with it.Been scrounging around on the internet like a dog on this thing looking for freebie apps but hey suprise suprise,you just cant find them.The ones you do find are just crap.Im lucky enough to have 3G coverage pretty much all the time in my flat and at work.Vodacom are pretty covered in that regard.So Im not missing Edge that much but it would have been nice..Im going to hold out on firmware updates for the meantime.Like they say,dont fix something if it isnt broken.And yes you correct,Memory Stick Pro Duo it is not SD.Thanks for that correction dude.Going to go price some Memory Sticks today.Looking for a 2GB.That should be ample for my music.Wanna get a 4Gig but too scared to know what its goņa cost me.Later. |
