@ Gucci,
Yeah I wonder why Nokia haven't made mention of that anywhere.
I'm sure Nokia'll surprise us with some new kick-ass CPU sooner rather than later...

Muhummad, my average mobile data usage is about 60 Rands per month, since all i do is browse the news, a few forums and a random site or two. Apart from that, the only downloads are one or two ebooks, so the data used very rarely exceeds 60 bucks. If our mobile data rates were as excessive as those in NZ i'd be terribly depressed, and would probably confine my internet usage to a pc as well. What's the cellular coverage like over there?

My data usage suprised me this month.It escalated from R30 to R153.man I was really suprised.@MO,you guys are really paying dearly for data usage.
@Hobbs,today I got up-close & personal with P990.Man l must say it has the looks,the ui was a bit slow,probably old firmware(didn't check)Now I understand why you like your!If it was a stable phone no doubt I would have settled for it.
@M-O,I use a P1i which is @ the moment at SE Service center for the speaker,currently l'm cruising on a P910i.How is the UI on the w910.

Nice one Jmash.Mines stable and with the ability to turn off Transitions and after installing Tweak Peaks its runs pretty fast.I think its a great 'looker.' With its 'by now' dinosaur specifications it still looks like it packs a punch.lol One good thing of course about the choice you made is of course that 60-70 extra RAM you have after boot-up.Thats gold dude.Can't believe your P1i is still at the repair centre.You must be missing it to pieces.
My data usage comes to around R200 a month (thats with sending the odd sms) I also browse extensibly using wi-fi at work so a more accurate figure can't be obtained.Sometimes I wonder why I even have a phone.I hardly use it for what it was made for,calling and text messaging. I just browse browse and browse some more and of course listen to my tunes.I think my battery does a pretty good job with how much I use it.I charge every night so its full so the next day I have a full days usage.If I didnt browse and listen to my music all day I could maybe squeeze 3 days out of it.Who knows though.I've never given it a chance to see what this battery is capable of.I remember as soon as I unboxed it I played with it until the battery died and then did my 12 hour charge.I just couldnt wait to test drive.
@MO Eish buddy.I did a conversion (doesnt really matter to you) but for 1mb Im going to be paying R22.30 Over here we pay R2/mb but you can buy data bundles that work out to you paying like 0.32/mb which works out for you to like 0.05NZD 5 cents.So come visit and you could have a 'browsing overdose'

Ipmart is going to keep me busy for a while.Thanks Kryps.Going to try start reading again.Havent read a full book in like 7 years,or maybe more.First attempt,Dan Browne's-Digital Fortress
When the NSA's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage--not by guns or bombs -- but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
Sounds good to me.

Got depressed at reading Muhammad-Oli's posts...we haven't been charged any thing close to that since Vodacom and MTN charged R45/MB when GPRS came out.
Anyone getting up early to watch the lunar eclipse tomorrow morning at 5am?

BMW Motorrad choose SA again as the country to have a world launch of their new F800GS on-off road bike. Durban the location of choice this time.

@ Hobbster:
Not nearly enough, boet. At the moment I'm still 'running in' the engine (up to first 1000 miles), and in April it'll be a year that I've had it...
I usually use the Suzuki TL1000S v-twin, as it's more comfortable for the better half than the more race-orientated greenie.
Sigh, boys and their toys, hey?

@ da brixsta,
Eish, The Gunners came so close to beating AC Milan tonight. Adebayor's header looked a dead cert, before it hit the woodwork.

Jmash, www.ipmart-forum.com is definitely the place to visit if you're after books. They have a really good selection, and cover most popular authors.
Hobbs, Digital Fortress is BRILLIANT!! Absolutely loved it!! I read some books by Steven Gould over the past few weeks, excellent stuff. Try reading Jumper, it's pretty good. Then there are the Remo books by Warren Murphy. I grew up reading those, lekker pulp fiction. I was pleasantly surprised to find an entire collection of his books on ipmart, 60 of them in all, lol. Managed to read the first 20 to date  *sigh* i lurve Mobipocket
