Anyone good at editing video? Here's a script for a spoof XT commercial.
Begins:
Hampsters voice over: "I've driven cars,..."
Cue footage of Hampster crashing jet car last year, standing next to a broken yellow Ferrari from the budget supercar episode of Top Gear.
"I've driven boats,..."
Cue amphibious car sinking and Hampster nearly drowning, from episode of Top Gear.
"I've raced planes,..."
Cue Hampster and James May trying to race a Bugatti Veyron in a Cessna during a Top Gear challenge
"But I'm really looking forward to testing this..."
Cue close up shot of the letters XT, camera pans back to reveal an old Subaru XT coupe with the starter motor whirring but it doesn't start.
Cue clip of TeamVodafone Falcon winning Bathurst and receiving trophy.
Cue Hampster standing on racetrack straight, looking into the distance... turns, holds up the W995 and says (dubbed)...
"Hi, is that the AA?"
Ends.

Nice! Those are some really impressive shots there. Really good daylight and some decent flash pictures too. I know my C902's flash quite often is too strong for close-up shooting so it's looking good for the LG.
Alright everyone, I have finally updated Esato Earth in the first post.
I'm having trouble uploading pictures so Westport photos are coming soon at this stage. It would be a great help if you guys could give it a quick check to see if I've made any mistakes. Also, if there's photos that someone gave me that I missed, please remind me!
Also, keep hitting me with more photos. It would be awesome to get more up there! And hopefully I won't take so long this time!

Just looking at doing a bit of a refresh on the New Zealander list. What do you guys think about removing:
humphreybc (last post Nov 2007)
Chrispy (last post Mar 2008)
Gigs (last post Jan 2008)
From the list? It doesn't look like they'll be back.

Maybe make un-active members another color, or use the <strike>

you should probably use <strike> because esato doesn't let you colour links

Hey, does anyone know where I can get a genuine SonyEricsson BST-40 battery from a phyical store?
Tried DSE, Noel Lemming, Bond&Bond, Vodafone, Digital Mobile, Sony Store, and no one sells batteries.
Prefer to get one from a store instead of Trademe.
Thanks |

Hi arch6, welcome to the New Zealnders thread although I see you're not only an older member than any of us but one of the oldest on the forum at present.
Have you tried contacting Sony Ericsson NZdirect? It's hard finding genuine accessories anywhere as you know but SE seem to think otherwise from comments I've seen in MyMobile magazine so time to put them to the test I think.
Hopefully SE accessories will be come more readily available now that Telecom are recognising SE in a big way.

Hi carkitter,
Funny, didnt even noticed I've been here for so long.
I've had up to now 7 phones: 2 Ericsson, 1 Sony, 4 SonyEricsson and this has always been a great place to find info for them.
Only just noticed the NZ thread, thus the post.
I've emailed them the other night, when I started this search, but I'll give them a call at some point and ask them.
It is rather strange how no-one sells batteries, not just SE one.
Most placed I've asked replied with "We don't sell batteries".
So do they just expect you to buy another phone?
