@da wanqsta: Yeah, I might be pissing against the wind with Vodacom but I'll try anyway. I should've picked up my upgrade before I left but i was just too busy with all sorts of things.
Good to hear about the Esato Awards, hopefully we get a mention once again as the top thread in Africa...I can't see that much has changed from last year.

Does anyone know - If my cell 'gives up its gost' and I have it on a contract (Autopage MTN SA), can I ask the service provider to fix it ? 
@ Brix, if I remember right you timed your return just before the general election in SA next year. Dude you better make it sooner - with the troubles in the ANC alliance right now, you may return to a different president by then
@ Ama - you had the N73 and p990i - which one takes better macros? Have you had a look at the N95-8gig? I don't know why I fancy that one,unfortunately it does not have WIMAX nor auto-focus in videorec more 
I think I will buy me one of those bluetooth keypads and keep the N73 (on crutches) till next year and get me the whatever will be out by then. (must have S60 though)
I love HTC products too, I ain't so impressed by the OS they use though (and yes I have a WM device for almost 3 years now) Oh well,at least they build them with a reset button

Well, since you guys spoke about the first charge earliwer, just my 2 cents...
Why the F%^$% does the dummies at the cell shops always say that you need to charge the phone for 16+ hours, BUT in the phone manual, sony gives 4hours(or until the battery is full)?
Who should you believe (i go with the manufacturer, and never had a problem)
I dont think i ever charged my HTC for more than 4 hours and my batt lasts at least 3 days with heavy use

Hey Rhino.I was told also as well 4hrs with my new Sony Ericsson P990i.Let it charge but dont wait around dude.Who the hell waits 16hrs before they play on their new phone.Oh yes,Kyle does lol. No f###ing way.My N95 is going to get a test drive as soon as it comes out the box while charging and then a new firmware update straight away if it doesnt already have it.

i looked on the net. And all the sites said u shud charge it 4 atleast 14 on the 1st charge. By doin so it opens up all the cells. The phone might say its full. But not all the cells cud be open. Well it was a long 14 hours. I just cudnt sleep. Luckily the next time ill go thru that torchure is in 2 years. Lol. I just wanted 2 make sure mx battery will be at its best. U cant blame me 4 that. Opera 8.65 seems cul. It doesnt use as much bandwith. |

 i agree with Hobbs. When i got my N81 i took it out the box,turned it on, let it Install the default apps, did Net Settings Manager and then went to download apps, i then put it on the charger and i used it while it charged for 8hours and its battery life is great.

To skip a line click on * and look in More Symbols, the second last symbol at the bottom (its an arrow) is what you use to skip. Yep Opera8.65 is great, i use it to browse Prodigits, My Symbian and Symbian Freak and also for downloads. How are you finding the buttons?

thanks teeninvader
i turned my phone on at 8 this morning and its battery died at 5, 9 hours of use, i downloaded the ngage app, browsed the net, downloaded opera, installed apps that didnt give me a cert error, transfered 1.2 gigs of music to it, (dam that took for ever. like 2 hours) sent some movies thru i got 300mbs left on a 2 gig card. i need a bigger 1 lol, and played 3 trials for ngage, the games are expensive it says 13 dollars, isnt that like 80 bucks? i might be wrong
@gucci.
ok cul that worked. the buttons r ok. sometimes i cant push the top 3 buttons cause thet so close to the top slide. i keep pushing hash for a space, lmao, its gonna take awhile ti get used to that, the face of the button underneath the dpad moves. i can feel it click if i push down on the d pad, other than that its all cool.
@gloa
thanks man,
um, i miss the space button on the # key, LOL. everything else im happy with, right now i dont think ill go back to the w800 |
