Yep tell them to update to V30, It sounds like there might be something wrong between your batt and maybe the phone's contacts that connect to the battery, have you tried cleaning them?
Lol yep played on E90 quite a bit, its a great phone, its quite heavy though at 210g. For Internet its unbeatable, you do much less side scrolling, its dpad is a lot more thumb friendly, inside screen is great, but it actualy doesn't look that big weirdly enough. The QWERTY keyboard is kind of stiff at 1st but you get used to it, the way it opens is weird, it doesnt open smoothly i think the one i used had tight hinges and it doesnt realy settle until its completely open in other words until the screen is at the same level as the keypad, so its opend all the way back. The UI seemed a little boring,like all the preinstalled stuff is all businessy and serious lol, plus it doesnt support Ngage and its just not a great multimedia phone. . . .well unless you watch a lot of movies, problem is to watch videos in full screen you'll need to convert them to the 800x352 resolution because even videos recorded by it at 640x480 dont fill up the screen at all, maybe CorePlayer will do that though, i should've tried it. But otherwise its a sweet device, it makes a N81 and N95 feel like cheaply built toys. By the way when taking pics you cant use the internal screen. My Dad wants to get a E71 now he feels the E90 is too big.

Have u taken any pics with the e90 gucci.how are they.also test out the video recording for me.let me know how good a quality your little flicks come out.i can do without ngage,i never play games on this phone.also when it comes to email i saw a screenshot of profimail on the e90 and thats the way email supposed to look on a mobile phone.bloody awesome.its got gps.hsdpa.good RAM.and wangs is going to send me a 16gb sandisk card for a xmas present.can you believe he doesnt even want me to pay for it.lol so i lose out on the 5mp camera (gucci will let me know how big the loss is going to be) and the 8gb internal memory (wangs is sorting out that one with his charity) lol other than that i think im doing the right thing.i want quality like my p990i and gucci has confirmed its a quality piece of kit.

I took ONE pic with that E90 will upload it on Wednesday when i have my Bundle back. pics taken by it are decent. Videos taken by E90 are the same quality as N95-2, they taken at VGA 30FPS DVD Quality. I never did use Profimail my dad hates it when someone messes around with his settings and mail apps, he's using Blackberry app as far as i know, so didnt see that.
Its definetly quality, chrom metal hinges and the body is painted metal. Il post some pics of the E90 as well.

Also in that article, apparently LG are going to be announcing another touchscreen device tomorrow as well.
Eish, their phones are coming on thick n' fast lately.

El cheapo LG KP500 touchscreen announced today:






Taken from GSMArena:

'Aiming at the midrange market, LG will be bringing full touch handsets to the masses, by introducing their latest LG KP500. Standing at 11.9 mm of thickness, the LG KP500 may be affordable but not at the expense of style.

Borrowing its design from the LG Renoir, the LG KP500 uses the latest reincarnation of the proprietary LG Flash-based UI. The user interface is thumb-optimized, but a stylus is also provided to assist handwriting recognition. Unlike the LG Viewty however, the stylus here is tucked into the body of the handset itself.

The LG KP500 is not a high-end device, but once again it's feature pack is optimized for affordability. The KP500 doesn't have 3G support, but there's quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE for a true world-wide use.

It also has a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera, but there's a 3-inch wide touch screen display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels to poke around. A microSD memory card slot, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio and an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and gaming completes the tally. A virtual landscape QWERTY keyboard and office document viewer are also present.

Weighing only 89 g, the LG KP500 will land in Europe in October 2008. Its price will be announced later on, but we can't help but wonder what do they exactly mean by affordable - their most affordable touchscreen handsets are the LG KF700, which currently sells online for around 200 euro (285 US dollars).'

That LG doesn't look too bad, props to LG for generally growing into a formidable force...
Hey JC, wow, didn't realize it was due so soon. You think it's going to be released on ps2 as well?...cos i'm not so "eager" on getting a ps3 just yet
Besides I've barely had time to play my fifa 08, which I thought was a bit disappointing with all the glitches and I just found it hard to score
