@ J-Man,
Yeah, it's obviously one of the pair of front disc brakes. Postage to my door (from China) was 16.00, and that was via registered airmail too. The pair of discs cost 87, so 103 altogether. A pair of top-spec discs like that from a shop here would cost roughly 3 times that, and that's no exaggeration...
As regards the case, I'll go onto eBay later today and see what they're selling before I make up my mind. That's a damn smart  case you've ordered, mate. I remember the P900 having one quite similar to that as well.

@pop - So, you TOOK the risk ordering that disc-brake all the way from China-town  Well, if that's really CHEAP then . . . what the HECK - right 
Yup, I got the case that cheap (an original Juan too!) . . . I googled it UP first, and after a few browse on the links . . . i stumble on the - amazon.com site . . . and it's bargain, so I emailed my aunt  - asap in the US to buy it for me  The IEC-20 case FITS ALL of the P-series fones. . . that 's why I am QUITE certain that it will FIT your P1i too
Why are you still UP, btw

@ Jojo,
Yeah, the guy/eBay 'shop' had excellent feedback from a good few UK customers already, amongst other equally satisfied international customers, so it seemed a fairly safe bet, which it was.
With eBay, apart from the UK, I've bought things from Singapore, Japan, USA, China, Argentina, Ireland, The Netherlands and Germany and all the stuff has arrived as described. I do check the seller's credentials very carefully before purchasing though, and so far it's (quite literally) paid off.
The better half is just finishing composing a song on her Yamaha keyboard, which is coupled to one of her 2 PC's, then it'll be time to shut down here.

Sorry to hear about the car's engine, Wanqa, not a lekker experience, but it happens to the best of us when we least need it... The same thing happened to my dad's Toyota recently. Fortunately the chief grease-monkey at one of the local Toyota dealerships lives around the corner from me, so it was only a matter of pottering till there and collecting the car a few days later.
So at 10pm last night i downloaded an ebook, Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. It was so good that i couldn't bring myself to bookmark it and continue reading today, and eventually i finished it at 01h30. Absolutely gripping stuff.

@ Gucci,
Thanks, boet. Ya, I'm not the world's biggest lover of bulky phone covers, but I can't argue as to how well it protected the P900.
As regards Newcastle, well I really feel for what they're going through at the moment; they've sacked the manager recently and their performances have been pretty dire against less-established Premiership teams.
It's kinda like what West Ham went through last year in a way.
@ da brixsta,
Like most people, I expected The Gunners to maintain the Premiership lead after facing Birmingham yesterday... they played well to hold Wenger's boys to a draw though.
@ JK,
Welcome to the P1i fold!
Another smartphone in the ranks to maintain the Symbian platform balance.

Well my 6 month contract with Virgin (a limited 'special' through The Carphone Warehouse, which included a 90 chequeback) comes to an end next month, so I phoned them up earlier to push my luck as to what deal/s they could offer me to stay with them before I contemplated greener network pastures.
They're prepared to offer me 200 minutes and 200 sms's for 10 (approx R140) a month over 18 months, or 6.66 (approx R95) a month for 150 minutes and 150 sms's, over the same time frame.
Not too shabby...
I've got until the end of next month to make up my mind.

@JK: Where have you been bro? Granted, I've been on and off this thread for the last six months. Congrats on the new device, won't call it a phone as it does way more than call and text.

@ Hobbster,
Ya, but it'll be a very low spec phone that they'll give with that rate, which is fine as I'm happy with what I have at the mo.
However, there's an increasing number of contract 'SIM-only' options out now by Orange, T-Mobile and O2. You get NO phone, but you'll get plenty minutes, sms's etc for very little dosh, and you can opt out at any time with 1 month's notice. For example, if you pay 15 (approx R210) a month with Orange SIM-only, you'll get 225 minutes, 100 sms's and free unlimited evening and weekend landline calls!!
http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/paymsim
This would suit many people here, as many new phones are pretty affordable to say the least, thus people upgrade on their own accord, often before the contract is up, be it a 12 month or 18 month one.
I find many things here, not just phones, far more dispensible.
Decisions, decisions....
