hehe! typical!
Anyway, i have been working hard as ever, busy week, month, year. It's all good. I like being busy, and if I am not busy, sleeping:-)
Those pics are really beautiful jiteshraj, wow!
Yeah, things seem to be going very slow the last few weeks regarding handsets. I am still keen on something nice and original popping out somewhere. The unnamed N phone is about it for now. So lets see what happens.
I will probably be disconnected most of the weekend, so have a good one if i post or not.

Jits, i agree with Francois, those pix are stunning! Maybe post a night shot or two when possible?
Like the man said, have a good weekend all. It's genuinely a TGIF day, been a draining week. Methinks it's time to invest in jumper cables, the mornings are becoming decidedly colder, and i'm taking longer and longer to get myself into the land of the living. Mrs.K reckons jumper cables attached to various sensitive bits of the male anatomy ought to do the trick. Evil, i tell you guys, pure evil LOL

Well done on been a good boy and charging that baby before you get stuck in and do some serious abusing.I can never seem to do that.The excitement gets the better of me.I totally drained my battery as soon as I got my P990i.My battery seems to not have enjoyed the experience and has never forgiven me.Once you have that N95(see I said it) up and running,get an app that can allow you to take screenshots and let us sit back and enjoy a N95 slideshow.Tell us before hand so I can make some popcorn.Amawanga,you bring the coke.lol |

The P700i sound interesting... i was about to get me the P990i, but the thoughts are drifting in my head... how long before P700i is available in RSA and if i get me the P990i will it keep me happy for 2 years, will I wait 2 years for the P700i because we all know how long we waited for the P990i

At this early stage, I can't foresee the P700i taking as long to release once it's officially unveiled(whenever that will be...) Let's hope SE learnt from the sales-damaging delays of the P990i. I really dig the look of the P700i,and the specs have really got me interested. Quite possibly my next smartphone.

doopsy wait for the p700,i was also interested in the p990 but to be honest it's big and trailing behind the competition!already somewhat out dated.not a bad phone but like i say rather wait.lol i couldn't wait so i went for the n95 so far it's great tested the gps on my way to work and it's working fine.u gotta say extra for the voice guidance though but i couldn't be bothered with that...oh and it doesn't pick up signal indoors lol not like u need it to though

Not the most highly-defined pic, but nice perspective captured with the N73 at around 23:10 last night, arriving back from a day out to Gloucester.
This is part of Paddington Station in west London:
Taken from Wikipedia, you can see how the N73 pic is taken in almost the identical place to the Wikipedia one: (although an obvious daytime pic)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddington_station
Here's how many times the place has been used in fiction:
1. The children's book character Paddington Bear was named after Paddington station. In the books he is found at the station in London, coming from "deepest, darkest Peru" and with a note attached to his coat reading "please look after this bear, thank you". Because of this he is named after the station.
In real life there is a statue of Paddington Bear in the station concourse, and a small shop full of Paddington Bear paraphernalia in the main station area. This statue is a representation of the original Paddington drawings by Peggy Fortnum.
2. The mystery novel 4.50 From Paddington (1952) by Agatha Christie begins with a murder witnessed by a passenger on a train from Paddington station on a parallel line.
3. There is an underground Paddington Station, separate from the real one, on the North London System in the novel The Horn of Mortal Danger (1980).
4. A toilet at Paddington station is where Fat Bastardīs rectal locator is found in the 1999 film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
5. In the horror film 28 Days Later (2002), a lengthy monologue describes a panic-stricken crowd at Paddington Station being overwhelmed by a killer virus.
6. In the 2005 film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, some of the scenes in the early part of the movie take place at Paddington station (but were in fact shot on a sound stage in New Zealand).
7. Paddington Station appears briefly in Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone after Harry has visited Diagon Alley with Hagrid for the first time, and Harry is struck by the divergence of the magical and Muggle worlds.

@Falcon: Hows the construction on that N95? I'm asking this question with thoughts of the double slide mechanism coming to mind.
Over the last couple days I've been excited at news of the P700 which is in contention as my next phone/PDA/mobile web browser.

Lol kryp now you scaryin me brix the built quality is not anywhere close to as bad as what we've been hearing from some owners.the only niggle is that when it's closed it has a slight play so i simply dont use it in the close mode and then theres no irritating movement...i actually find the dual slide mechanism very nice for switching to landscape mode and using those side keys for video control is a pleasure.all in all i'm glad i never wait for the p700 as it doesn't seem to have the classy looks or features better than the n95.
