Mario, i'd like to nominate you for the position of Minister of Symbian Affairs, seeing that the Cabinet is kinda running short on manpower right now

@Krypta, nice to see, at least someone takes note of the 'bottom part' of my message. However, I am more interested in 'resolving the top'. If you think my 'signature' is offending the government Shapiro style, I will remove it at once (or twice) After all I don't want Brix to declare me 'persona nongrata'. Huh, I am posting a lot on the forum (by my standards). If I carry on like this I might even win Ama OK, that’s it – I better stop now before someone get’s injured.
P.S. One last thing - How do you like the 2010 Maskot named ZAKUMI or is it Zumaki ? ! ? !

They really ought to rethink the whole mascot charade, maybe something more in keeping with the political seesaw we're on right now.

Mario, we're in for some real fun with the way people are quitting their Cabinet posts. It kinda reminds me of the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, where thousands upon thousands of Americans were fleeing across the Rio Grande trying to get into Mexico, much the same as thousands of people are trying to cross the Limpopo into South Africa. Pretty soon we may be heading to the Limpopo ourselves

Hey Guys, long time no smell. Just poppin' in to say the I-PHONE to be released on this Friday. I work @ Vodashop and we'll be getting 40 phones. No prices or contract deals yet - still to be confirmed. They will be unlocked to any network, but only Vodacom dealers will get stock. Exciting isn't it!!!

Yep its ZAKUMI. ZA for South Africa (as in .co.za) and apparently Kumi means 10 in most African languages, so South Africa 10= ZAKUMI lol thats what Gareth Cliff and the gang said on 5fm this morning.

@HOBBS: Coz it doesn't have video recording and OBEX transfer? Google have probably figured that most of phone's intended market won't be using or needing those features.

As I've grown older I've also noticed that I'm not using as much as say four or even two years ago. Kids on the other hand need to transfer pictures and tones from their friends at school and would be a necessary feature at anything marketed at 12-23 year-olds.

I have just downloaded 2 videos from Daily Mobile showing the G1 in action and it looks pretty impressive to me.

Ye brix is right. But i mean if a device is going to have Bluetooth it might as well support file transfer, because there will be that odd occassion when you want to bluetooth something to another phone, im guessing OBEX is not hardware dependant because at GSMArena they say this will be added later.

Crap, after running so well for the past month my K850 gets BROD, took out the battery an hour ago, now put it back in and still no luck, the keypad lights up and the Blue Ring of light around the camera lense lights up and the phone just stays like that with a blank screen. think my mum may have to take it to Vodaworld on her way to work tomorrow.
