Lol @ Kryptik
Yep if im not here im on MXit or Pro. Thats where my interest in symbian also started,and that Jscott fellow with all the s60 os9 applications and games in his group is one of the reasons im sticking to s60, all apps for FREE never have to search, just go to my groups search and VOILA! Lol
@ Wanqa
nice one! Christmas has come early at the Wanqa household huh the Mrs getting a K550 and you getting a P990! Hope you enjoy them!
@ JK

@ Kryptik,
LOL, speaking of Nirvana, their last ever released song, 'You Know You're Alright' (released after Cobain's death, and which led to the big Courtney Love v/s Dave Grohl et al debacle), is stuck in my head today...
...and yeah, Gucci n' Hobbster as well, thanks guys. I've got my new preciousssss with me, but it ain't a P990i... 
@ Falcon,
Howzit boet, long time no see here. The W880i is by the slimmest n' smallest of those, really dinky. Personally I think the keys are way too small though, so I wouldn't want to use it for anything other than calls. I actually took a pic of the bling one that JK's referring to, as well as the other bling Voda options out here now:
N73:
V640i:
bling surround on W910i:
The LG is fairly slim, but quite wide and won't hold nearly the value of the e65. You've got all the 'must-have' specs on your N95, so perhaps the e65 would be a good option.
But going on slim size n' style only, the W880i.
@ JK,
You luck bugger indeed! Enjoy; that's a truly awesome, loaded piece of kit you have there. Let us know how it performs.
@ Teeninvader,
Good to see you around these parts again, boet. Hope you're keeping well.

Wanqa's new precioussss:
I've had to sell the N73 to make up the difference, compared to what I was initially planning on spending, but so be it; I'll only be carrying one phone around with me now.
I went to the shops n' markets, but the brand spanking new, sim-free P1i was finally offered to me for 250 cash (approx R3500) by one of the shops that I've done a lot of business with before. Gee, what a haggle to get it at that price, but hell I've bought enough phones from there for friends and family in the past.
So long to my fantastic P900, the most reliable phone I've owned to date.
It will be 4 years old in April, and it still works brilliantly.
Dunno what to do with it now that it's retiring today, maybe just keep it as a back-up of sorts, 'cos it's been so well-used that I really won't get much for it.
And farewell to my N73 as well, which I bought on New Year's Day for a mere 140 new. Hope your new owner takes as good care of you.

Well done Wanqa!!! May you experience as much joy from that new baby as you did from its predecessors! Btw, has anybody seen Brix around? He's been rather quiet lately... |

Thanks very much guys. Yeah I'm a happy bunny.
Different to the P900's older UI in a variety of ways, which I'll get my head around. To be expected after using the same handset and UI for the same 3 and a half years, methinks.
Yeah, where is Brix? Last time he mentioned that his work commitments etc had been a significant factor, but eish.. I think we need to organise a search party, LOL.

Hmmm . . . Nice one. Given the choice I will take the N95 8gig but then again thats just me. I wonder how much does a p1i + a 8gig card cost ? And yeah , I sort of miss 'B' too. No one to x-change 'shots' with . . . Any of you chaps heard something about Nokia's new in internet 'tablet'?

 LOL, Hobbs Symbianwalker, we'll keep the UIQ Rebellion aliiiiiiiive!
Ya'll hear that , you Dark Side/ Imperial S60troopers out there LOL
Honestly, I had every intention for going for the P990 today. When I checked it out, there were bits missing; it was just the phone, manual and charger. No train-smash, I mean big deal, there's no desktop charger stand/docking station, USB cable, spare stylus and CD, but then why advertise it as brand new boxed? Now fair enough, it may still be brand new and boxed per se, but I'm being nit-picky as the omitted items weren't mentioned or stipulated and I know what comes with a brand new boxed item like the P990i! One then starts to ask questions...
It was more that principle that made me raise an eyebrow. Integrity is very high up on the pecking order of Wanqa traits. I left it to ponder and reflect. Yes it was still damn cheap, even though the P990 was locked and Orange branded.
An esato member from Austria then buys my N73, and with the funds that I'd set aside for a new phone, the new P1i from a local, reputable independent cellphone shop, unbranded and unlocked, suddenly looked lke a more logical option..
The rest, as they say, is history.
EDIT: Thanks, Mario. That 8 Gig N95 is STUNNING! Saw another one at the local Vodafone store today.
I guess you mean the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet? I've only seen them at the Smartphone Show, nowhere else yet. Didn't have a chance to play on one, though...

Lol thats quite a story there @ Wanqa
WOW no USB, no CD ,No desk stand, no spair stylus no etc. . . Lol i would have also been a bit suspicious and realy raise an eye brow at the seller. . .hehe, at the end its good you that you got the P1 then,its a newer phone and who knows you might have had problems with that Orange branded P990 and the weird package they offered you for such a brilliant phone.
