I'd suggest the E61i if RAM is not an issue, its a shame the E71's screen is so much smaller.

Gucci, that's one of the phones which i've earmarked as well. The huge screen coupled with the versatility of the Symbian OS makes it really attractive. The RAM isn't too much of an issue since the only apps which i usually run simultaneously are Mobipocket, Opera 206 (you've just gotta love the multi-window feature on that baby!), NoRedClose and Taskman.

I wouldn't want to be in Thabo's shoes right now...

Not all fantastic first impressions of the N96 from amnesia...:

@ Kryptik:
True, but I also wonder how the impact of these moves by a divided ANC will affect the JSE, exchange rates etc...

Looks like we're in for some heavy political weather, Wanqa. The Deputy Prez has indicated that she'll step down when Thabo resigns, as will many other members of Cabinet. The really scary bit is that, even though JZ says he'd like Thabo to stay on until the elections, his camp seems hellbent on removing Thabz immediately. Whichever faults the man may have, he's certainly encouraged investment in the country, an area in which JZ seems to be lacking.

Regarding the N96, i know of at least two people who'll be deeply disappointed, should it transpire to be more hype than performance.

@ Gucci:
Thanks, boet.
Ya we have friends who stay within walking distance of the famous landmark, so every few weeks we drive over the bridge en route to visit them.

I was wondering how the Poms would pronounce all this (taken in the local supermarket):

Hey everyone A few days (2) ago I had a msn chat with Brix He is just fine. I have informed him that the South African state president is just about to get 'fired' and I was so surprised to hear how surprised he was. The thing is - he won't go alone . Some, if not most of the members of his cabinet will 'go' too. I had to attend a urgent meeting (investor related not police) saturday afternoon and everyone is sitting put. The JSE got hurt double time. At the moment SA its costing me more then 'making'. I see the Aus $ come back down to earth over the last month or 2 and for the first time in a long time that part of the world becomes 'interesting' from my point of view. And congrats to the speaker of parliament (SA), she is 'the man' now ,well at least until Zuma takes what is 'rightfully' his.
Does anyone know how SYMSMB works? I can see and work with the cell from my wifi network. I also can connect to the net thru the wifi router from my n95. I even can see the network from my cell, but I can't access any of the computers

One sometimes comes across the most unusual licence plates and/or lettering on vehicles. I spotted these two yesterday.

LOL, Kryptik.
Ja nee, a well-developed sense of humour's such an important ingredient to make it through life, particularly when the current political mire is pre-occupying so many minds.
Nice ones, boet.
