Ya I am a bit surprised. It's not a quantum leap at all, specs-wise. Thus I imagined it to be priced similar to say, the Samsung U600 et al, which seemed a tarted-up version (specs-wise) of the D900i yet which was not that much more expensive at all.
I could understand that kinda price for the K850i at launch, maybe a little more even, which it's bound to be, initially anyway.
Ya the T650i is very fashion-orientated, slimmer (and metal housing) offering from the K800i and K810i stable, but I'm still a bit surprised I guess.
It will drop quite a bit in the weeks and months ahead, virtually no doubt about that.
I do like the handset quite a bit.
I got rid of my  T610 recently to make room for a newer handset for one of the PAYG simcards that I occasionally use  , I'd better change my signature now.
We'll see what specials there are closer to Christmas time or just after Christmas, when all the hectic Boxing Day sales n' specials kick in..

Wow, when Herschelle Gibbs plays like he is at the moment, he's an absolute joy to watch, even if it's against Uncle Bob's team.

Haven't had a contract since the P900.
Use Skype, cheap landline package rates and relatively cheap O2 Online and Orange PAYG rates when I have to phone anyone during peak times. I'll get a contract as soon as there's a good deal on the P1i. Vodafone's my last choice, by a country mile.
If I was a heavy peak user, then for sure I'd still have a contract. But I ain't paying £300-odd for a phone either. No way. So a low tariff contract is hopefully on the cards soon..

Kaibigan! Magandang umaga! Kumusta? 
Thanks Jojo, hope you're having a good Sundae too, mate. BTW, Turkish Formula 1 on Sundae as well. One of my favourite race tracks. Massa is on pole, with Hamilton second.

Mabuti naman,Salamat. 
Yeah, I certainly do watch both.
Late on Sunday (due to time zones), the American round of World Superbikes takes place. It's held at the Laguna Seca racetrack in California, which has one of the most insane pieces of track in the world, called The Corkscrew. It's a fast initial left-hander that suddenly drops and and twists down a very, very steep hill. Crazy. Should be good to watch.

Guro Wanqa is still awake as we've been watching DVD's with friends. (Mr Bean's Holiday, and Shooter). But I'll be 'hitting the sack' soon. Going to be busy on Sunday; helping that other friend of mine with the Kawasaki ZX7R service his bike, plus I've got loads to do in the garden after that, and then fill out UK passport forms and other admin, before watching the World Superbike races in the evening. No kids...yet.

 Jojo, when you get married one day, I'll chauffeur you and your future bride on a Kawasaki and accompanying sidecar attached.
I'll take the N73 with later today, but I'll be working on his bike and not riding as such, so we'll see matey.
Anywayz, time for beddy-byes for me. Hope you get a chance to watch the racing later.
G'night mate.
