Good luck mate! I'm sure it'll be fine! 
Who here has GPRS? Is it worth it?
When will T-Mobile sort it out and start the service? |

Well i used to have every console going but then after my 3rd PS I got fed up and sold it for the last time. Then at xmas I got a PS2 mainly because it was a DVD player as well and I have to say I was not impressed with the games. I didn't think they were much better than the PS1 and I was pissed off.
Then the Gamecube came out and all the memories of Mario64 came flooding back and for £130 you can't really go wrong. Now I love my games again - play Rogue Leader constantly and can't wait for Mario Sunshine. My faith has been restored and I like the fact that with a console you can play on a widescreen TV with surround sound and not just a small (in my case) pc monitor.
Anyway each to their own.
I have an MP3 player also and yes I do sometimes get the connection problem as well! For some starnge reason it doesn't seem as bad when the battery is fully charged but maybe that's my imagination coz i can't see that making a difference?!

Lucky mate, very lucky! I take it you're with vodafone then?
Nintendo have always made quality games! They have so many icons in their corner: Link, Zelda, Mario, Samus, Yoshi, Kong, Megaman, the list goes on! The guy who created Mario and Zelda is an absolute genius. Mayamoto (sp?) said he used to play in caves as a child, hence the exploration of dungeons in Zelda and so on. I have many happy memories of my trusty Snes, gawd bless it's soul! |

I didn't know T-Mobile still hadn't started a GPRS service.
Yeah I'm using GPRS on Voda. It's good - very fast and I have it contantly connected but it's one of those things that when you have it you use it (in my case a lot) but if you don't have it wouldn't really miss it that much.

Don't you boyz think that Nintendo always seem to aim their games too much at kids tho?? Dunno bout u but i find Mario etc a little too young for me. & if we're talkin Xbox it looks like a good console until u pick up that awful control pad and try and press the miniscule buttons in any sort of order?!

i gotta agree with reefa, PC's run tings for real! with my PC i've got the power to do anything. At the moment i'm recording an album to be released on my own record label, and when i get bored of making tunes i slip into the world of Myst or whatever else i've got to hand... then theres the internet. i aint no computer goon but i got enuff respect for these tings man!

Good luck with your album. Used to be in a great band, made an album, video etc at EMI's expense - spent months in a studio. Played some amazing gigs (The Hacienda a few times) and had an amazing time from what I can remember! LOL but all the while still loved my consoles!

It works out at £17/month including VAT and you get 5mb/month and ever additional mb is charged at about £3.50'ish. Any data you don't use carries over to the next month for a total of 3 months which is good. It's not too bad considering it's connected most of the time and I never use more than 5mb's in a month.
As I say i don't really need it but it's good to have it. I've got my phone checking my emails every half an hour automatically which is cool.

Last seen in Newcastle heading south!

Really not sure at the moment. Think it may be too big (i think my T68i is about the perfect size) and at the prices being banded about at the moment i think i'll have to have a good/hard look at it when it finally does come out here then make my mind up! Ed
