Ya boet, they're upping their game alright; the Omnia is already making a fair impression here, and now this one's on the horizon already.
Taking note of all these progressions,  ?

Shit Wangs.Samsung is on a roll.Did you watch that YouTube video on that link that you provided.Very well made.Makes you just want to go out and buy one especially if you are a mobile photo junkie like you are. Very nice.Well done Samsung for some good work recently.
By the way guys.8gb's aint enough for me and unfortunitely as you know I cant buy anymore memory for this N95-2.FCUK SAKES!!!!!! What to do.What to do.I know..................
UPGRADE TO THE N96......Yipee Sirrreeee!!!!! 16gb's+8gb card=24gbs.Now thats sounding better to me.
N95-2 still keeping its value over here.At Incredible Connections it cost R7649.00 cash and listen to this ridiculous contract deal.On a Talk 500 which is R800.00/month you still have to pay in a whopping R1699.00.WTF!!! |

The N95-2 is also holding its value extremely well here, at 379.95 (approx R5700) from Carphone Warehouse.

How much exposure has there been about ex-US prez Jimmy Carter's comment about Mbeki?:
Former US president Jimmy Carter said the closest he has ever been to a fist fight was when South Africas President Thabo Mbeki told him that anti-retrovirals for mothers infected with HIV Aids was a plot of white people against black people.
Carter made this astonishing statement on Tuesday night at the Carter Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, while hosting a number of American and overseas journalists."

Ja Wangs.these new touchscreen devices are pretty damn awesome.The variety you have now for a touchscreen phone makes it quite tricky to choose.And with Nokia entering the game its going to get sticky. |

Thabo,Jacob,FCUK the lot of them.I wish this country had a woman president.Put these fcuking pricks in their place.Ever since Thabo stepped down all I hear from people is politics and its all so negative.Im just sitting tight and going to patiently see how this rollercoaster ride pans out.Who knows.it could maybe just maybe turn out fine.

Can you believe 16gb Sandisk cards are now available.Shit.All the N95-2 users out there are weeping.At least I know I am.A bloke at Symb1an-Freak bought one and it works perfectly in his N95 Classic.The funny thing is he put 10gb's of music (1866 tracks) on it in one go and when he started up his music player it took 28minutes to refresh his music library.Cant believe he actually had the patience to sit through that.It would have drove me mad.Ive got two of the Matrix movies (absolutely adore the 1st one),34 music videos (converted high video,high audio-so the files are fairly large,same with the 2 Matrix movies.) Got to convert it to Mobile with the best settings available or whats the point.760 music tracks all in MP3 128kbps,some photo's and lots of apps and themes and Im sitting with a measly just over 2GB's of precious storage space that isnt expandable.Now that my friends is very disheartening.Do you remember when I had my P990i ,all I wanted was a 8GB card.Now Ive got 8GB's and all I want is 16GBs.Where does this journey end.A phone with a 24GB internal storage capacity and a 24GB memory card in the memory slot provided.Not far-fetched the way things are going.

About 2 days, but it charges over usb while i transfer files for about 20 minutes a day... Still aint bad... If i use it for calls only i get about 5 days with moderate use (10-15 short calls /day), and i never switch my 3g off...

The way things are going (and the size of hard drives these days decreasing as it is) i bet in 5 years or less we will see the first mobile phone with 1TB of storage.(if you remember that storage about doubles every year...)

Hello to all, I hope the year has treated you well.
I find myself once again available for upgrade and at a crossroads of what to do.
Since April all the (quality) phones available for free quickly disappeared. Looking at the phones available (on the weekender) i see few upgrades and more.. side grades(?). My w810 is showing it's age, but I refuse to upgrade to a phone just because it has 1 extra megapixel on the camera.
Which leaves me to either pay in for a better phone, or consider moving to a smart phone and consider that my upgrade reasoning.
That would probably mean I'll get the N73 (YES! A nokia phone for the SE fan! And a phone which is showing its age and isn't the most ergonomical phone around).
The iphone became available today on it's own contract, which would effectively triple my current monthly contract subscription costs. But is it worth it for a touch screen, lousy camera and no video calling? I would rather have the Samsung Omnia (and I don't particluarly like samsung), but I'm pretty sure I'll be paying in heftily for that too.
So my fellow members, can anyone recommend anything reasonable?? |
