Yeah, the V3 looked so damn good in black; it really complemented its angular lines and accentuated the other exposed metal bits n' buttons.
So  are possibly announcing some new handsets tomorrow. Let's hope they don't disappoint...

Hey bradboy,
You were quiet around here during the world cup...I was wondering what your thoughts were about how things panned out... and if you had changed your esato signature...
That's pretty disturbing that Vodacare won't deem themselves liable if the phone is lost by them. Is that because the 'repair centre' is the notorious assigned 'third party' company in Jozi and neither they or Vodacare want to fit the bill if someone steals the thing, or if they stuff it up in the process of updating?
And how pathetic that it had to be sent to an 'advanced' repair centre in Jhb for a flippin' firmware update!

@ Falcon,
Yeah, good clarity for night pics taken at such a distance.
Is that by those restaurants along the bottom of Nelson Mandela Square?
About the Lexus is520 here, I've seen a few around where we stay, but not in any notable abundance compared to the German alternatives.
It's one of the few Lexus sedans that I actually like the look of; a lot of the older models looked far too boring and/or conservative to attract the A4 and Beemer 3-series punters IMHO. Definitely a step in the right direction, methinks.
The 1-series Beemer hatchbacks are also seem to be selling very well here.

So another English Premiership club was relegated to The Championship today, a side that had several SA players playing for them in past years.
So long, Charlton. Hopefully you guys down there at The Valley in south-east London, (just south of The Thames, next to Greenwich) will bounce back next year.

@kryptik - I guess the PIC you posted (man in the bike) resembles the very FIRST invention-like of the - Air Bag in cars

LOL Jojo, if you can visualize that guy in the pic wearing a sweatshirt over the inner tube it would bear a very close resemblance to my body shape 
Seriously though, the safety features incorporated into modern vehicles are quite heartening, as compared to vehicles not many years ago when airbags were unheard of and even seatbelts were a rarity.

I dont have much to say these days, but i am stillo around, reading this thread every day. lol.
Anyway, so i had my m600 for a few weeks, and i am really impressed.
1) They keypad, me having big fingers do have trouble using it right when i wake up or just before going to sleep. The rest of the time i can type real fast on it.
2) Screen, wow, here i am really impressed. I downloaded M3 video converter and converted a few music videos, and the quality is impressive. I do love the sound and video quality.
3) Surfing the net.... Amazing, no need to comment,
I love this phone, and will continue to do so for some time to come

Hell KBR, you're lucky enough to go through more new phones than most people go through underpants in the same time..
2 Gig card as standard is very impressive; a long way from when the Nokia 3650 came with a 16MB card...
@ rhino,
Good to hear you're happy with the M600i.
If I wasn't so bothered with cellphone cameras, I would've more than likely bought one too by now.

Vodacom has eventually added the W900i to their gosh darned web site! How long did that take? 2 years! Now that is what I call customer-centric service-NOT! I think we should take these cell phone companies and keep them in their place. If they mess up, lose a phone, all that, the world should hear...If you make a fuss, their image goes down the crapper, and if you do it publically enough they are likely to respond.
@ Rhino8, M3 has been so full of crap lately...can't get it running! I miss the days when M3 was but a forum, and ideas, but the super mater of it all has been missing for a while...maybe he has returned. I have started watching TV shows on my pc out of frustration! hehe!
@ wanqa, the one year I could not go to Sabie and all my friends went, and there was some HUGE biking event there. Ramps, races, it was just bikes everywhere! I am so sorry I missed that year...

Hey guys! I've been away from this thread for a while now, mostly due to my exams. I'm glad they're finally over. Anyway, I'm busy trying to cram in as much fun as I can before I start working during the vacation. Sometimes I don't know if it's better to be studying or working. Especially in the sales line, where you get to meet all sorts. Now, if only my customers were like the nice people in this thread. Out for now, I'll be dropping by soon!
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

Prison Break series 2 is nearing its end on Sky here. (Episode 2:18 at the moment.)
Fox is to launch series 3 of Prison Break in the US etc later this year.
@ deluded,
Good to have you around here again, bro!
