Nice pics Wanga.That P1i does you proud boet.
I scrapped that first attempt at Blogger.Ive got to get away from that whole black background thing I always seem to gravitate towards,so I deleted the blog,created a new one with a different template and a new title.The funny thing is the title now makes my blog address- http://www.thehobsterssonyericssonp990iblog.blogspot.com Thats not going to go down very well if you havent bookmarked it and have to type that monster in everytime you want to visit it.lol
49 days to go till upgrade.Im in a bit of a pickle.I can get a new phone (E61i) if I want,but the thought of not using my P990i almost makes me feel guilty and a bit sorrowful,unhappy,desolate,mournful,lugubrious,gloomy,despondent,dejected,depressed,downhearted,downcast,disconsolate,glum,miserable,wretched,dismal,morose,woeful,woebegone,doleful,joyless, and heavy-hearted.(Thank you MSDict Viewer-Thesaurus on my beloved P990i.Wangs,you must download MSDict Viewer from www.beta.johnex.se Once you downloaded and installed it,download the dictionaries with serial numbers he also has available in the folder.Ive got Pocket English,Thesaurus and Concise English.)
So in other words I am in two minds whether to upgrade.The P990i is begging me to hold out another year till my second contract is due.
Very fond of this bugger.
Lets just wait until the day arrives.
I could change colours ever so easily as history has showed.
Im a phone whore.lol

 "Im a phone whore"
I know how you feel. . . . . Today i was ONCE AGAIN looking at the Voda booklet and for some weird reason i thought: hmmm. . .maybe i should get a P1, its actualy been happening all week, i see the N82 advert then i want it, i see a pic of a P1 then i want that, THEN i see a N78 and. . . . .think im gona loose my mind. The whole P1 thing is freaking me out cause although i think its a great phone it hasn't been my type of phone. . . . .think the holidays are already getting to me. . . . {:-O
@ Kyle
You go bro! Wish i was like you,life would be easier, stick to ONE THING and go for it lol. Ye Opera Mini4.1 is pretty ram hungry but very stable.
@JK
I think C702 would be fine since you don't need 5mp cam. C702 has GPS, nice size screen, 3.2mp cam and ye all the SE A200 Java goodness packed in to it.

@ Hobbster:
LOL, after reading all those synonyms, methinks I'll have fun with that dic-app. Shot, boet.
Ya, the P1i is serving me well.
Did you see how bad the G900's camera pics (prototype) were in the Mobile Review shoot-out?
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=168488
Now fair enough, it's a prototype G900, but dang, the N82's cam in the comparison just blew  's attempt into the weeds. Doubt that even newer 'production version firmware' twak's gonna solve this one to any great extent. Those G900 pics were that kak in comparison that if launch the production model of the G900 with such a poor 5mp cam module, I ain't buying it. End of.
Seriously, I'd rather wait for the Dark Side to release that rumoured 'Tube' touchscreen S60 if it's going to have a much bettwer cam.
I'm trying not to jump to conclusions when M-R are faffing with a prototype, but in the same breath my brand loyalty isn't that strong that it blinds common sense and rational judgement.

Wangs,i dont even know why you were even considering the G900.But nevertheless those camera shootouts they always do,I personally take with a pinch of salt.At SE-NSE.com he did a shootout with a K850 and a entry level digital camera and hes K850 pics were horrible.I personally think hes just very bad at taking photos and didnt do the K850 justice.Im sure the G900 aint as bad as u think Wangs.Or are u just making excuses to get a TUBE.lol

@ Hobbster:
LOL it's that tech-craving that most of us succumb to, boet. 
Ya one has to have a bit of a sceptical stance with such camera shoot-outs, it's just the level of difference in the M-R that raised an eyebrow of sorts.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what transpires over the next few months...

Leaked pics of Samsung's new i900 look very interesting; a Korean 'iPhone' of sorts, using WM etc:

Eish nice pics boet, you're doing the P1 a lot of justice, it suppose to be a business phone but it takes nice pics.
Kyle
Ive got the Grey one it's actualy called Silver i guess since it appears shiny in some lighting conditions and the Black battery cover is actualy Dark Grey but looks Black in low lit places. I remember when i got mine when i saw the Box had a pic of a Blue one but the lady at the shop opend it and to my relief it was Silver, from what i see the Blue will look ugly after some scratches and peeling. Mine has peeled a bit on the bottom part of the slider and it doesn't look bad BUT if it was the Blue it would look so untidy because underneath the paint ITS WHITE! Oh and just some advice when you do get the phone,don't remove the Screen Protector, i didn't because it looks like the screen would be prone to scratches if i did, and it actualy suits the phone so much that you forget its there.

Sweet man, otherwise i'd say go for the Blue then it does look cool, it stands out a lot, looks like a true Music and Gaming phone, the Silver tends to look a bit boring sometimes but very classy. I hope you havent used up your Data Bundle because you're going to be downloading a sh*t load lol! Some Ngage games are around 28MB lol!
