I have been using HSDPA 1.8 with my htc since i got it at 1.8mbs (avg at about 1.2mbs without paying extra, you need to subscribe to higher hsdpa speeds at R50/mo according to voda (1.8mbs hsdpa is still free)

Yes you are right, i do get hsdpa 1.8 but unfortunately as vodacome suggests, you might not get 1.8mbs in my case i only get around 500kbps

Im currently using Best ScreenSnap, its pretty good,lets you assign any key to capture screenshots and you can also choose the image format, BMP True Colour is the best format but MOST sites dont support it though, so i use JPEG High Quality which is still pretty good.

Ye,there's a 3rd party app for that called NTorch Lite, i havent tried it on my N81, but it works fine on my N80.

@TeenInvader-500mbps is still better than 384kbps.In Sea Point my 3G signal is strong,so Im hoping that with the new phone HSDPA 1.8kbps will kick in to the extreme.
@Gucci-Sorry to bug you bro,just getting my list together of apps I want to install as soon as I get the phone.Want to have them downloaded and ready to transfer.
Next,best file manager for S60?

Hey Wangs.My Korean friend who upgraded recently is absolutely loving his P1i.He's converted.(was an Nokia E61 user)So is a bloke I met today who works at Voda4U.He's also loving his P1i and doesnt think he will be going back to Nokia (yeah right.Havent we all said that.) The P1i is doing well.Eventhough its a bit thin on specs,its got a lot of respect from its owners.I think the touchscreen is a good balancer when it comes to specs.Does anyone know P1i sales figures by any chance?

@ Hobbster:
Would be interesting to check out P1i sales. Perhaps if JK drops in here at some time again, he might have some definite facts n' figures.
However, the fact that not all the networks have bothered stocking it (or the W960i) here has not helped matters though...

The mrs got her new phone W910i yesterday... here are a few pix taken with the HTC tytn, BUT be warned, these pix are horrible quality, taken at night with only the light on in the room, and i had to take em fast as teh mrs didnt allow me more than about 30secs in total time...








I downsized thesse alot (to about 20kb each) coz they were such pathetic pics

The phone is vodafone branced, but the only branding on the outside is below the slide, not too bad

Thats quite a cool phone ...1 of my friends picked one up at a cycle race, asked around who it belonged to and then no one claimed it, so he kept it! Dunno if I would have done the same, it would have kept bugging me if it was the right thing to do....but all in all it a very cool phone, ergonomics and looks wise!
