@ bradboy:
Ya I'm a bit concerned about the initial price of the 5800, as that article stipulates. I'm quite prepared to wait until it eventually retails for at least the original target price that Nokia stated after its launch.

@ gola n' brixsta:
Yeah maybe I need to see the new Bond movie first before being any more analytical, LOL.
@ JC:
Eish, hard luck with that battery cover, boet. Hope you can get it sorted. Will the warranty cover the breakage of a battery cover clip?
I wonder if there's any genuine covers on places like eBay; they'll probably be Chinese copies if there's any available, I guess.

The C905 has been dropped in price by the UK network '3', now 309 (approx R4950), but unfortunately it'll be locked to this network. Not sure if these can be unlocked yet.

That's not a bad price at all for a phone with latest features!lol it seems that no one who watched the new bond liked it...maybe it's because of expectations?gonna watch it and tell you guys from a new bond watchers perspective.you have to remember it's main competition is the bourne series...
Brad boy or m4tic which one of you can hack mtn data?please pm me with some info.

Okay, I just uploaded a photo directly from my phone for the first time, but I can only do it with Opera Mini 4...So it really is possible

Falcon: I actually like Daniel Craig, just felt that the movie could've had more in terms of script...it just came across as too subliminal for my liking. If I'm going to see Bond, I really don't want to be connecting mental dots...not that I can't appreciate clever movies I just like Bond to get straight to the point.
@HOBBS: Good luck making your decision. I won't be getting the 13th cheque this year but the holidays shouldn't be too bad. BTW, how's the Cape Royale in Somerset Road, or whatever its called, looking? I miss Cape Town like crazy.
@ALL: Is it just me or has SE serious fallen off the wagon this year? Most of the phones, except for the few in the W-series have been lame. Not that that I'm one of the guys who gets a new phone every six months, but at least the mobile phone companies should offer the poor sods like me something to aspire to. I guess the financial downturn might have a role in the range of phones rolling off assembly lines.

Cape Royale is up & running but with what I can see not doing to well.Maybe its because of all the demolition and construction going on around that area with the stadium.(which looks fantastic by the way.) I think you are going to be pleasantly suprised how good it looks.Coming from Town through to Sea Point you get that cool view of it with the sea in the distance and I think it looks fantastic.Its not an eyesore like most people were concerned about.It makes Cape Town look a bit more modern and happening. Will try take some pics for you.

On the topic of Bond, I am yet to watch it, but Daniel Craig doesnt work for me as Bond... He is not a bad actor, but he isnt what i look for in bond... AND WTF what happened with Q? He is yet again not starring in the latest (according to reviews)

 Lol i agree, the days of the W900 are gone, now most SEs are the same boring thing, although that W705 does look interesting.

Wow,at MobyMemory a Sandisk 16GB goes for 39.99 pounds which comes to roughly R619.00 Yummy!!!! I Found a place in Joburg that stock them for R999.00 Going to do some more homework and try find a bargain.The problem is that Look & Listen dont actually stock 16GB cards.They are getting it from a place called CameraLand in Cape Town that dont sell direct to the public,so you most probably find they are getting it for R999.00 and making a R300.00 off doing me a favour.

Not to sound like a capitalist pig( although I probably deserve that label) but I won't mind if they demolished the apartment block right next to the Cape Royale...its a definitel eyesore- not as bad as some of the dodgy buildings in Muizenberg but nevertheless it looks fugly.

Hey Hobbster:
Still contemplating whether or not to enter the monthly photo comp?
Gola's keeewwl one is in there now. What about that new Greenpoint Stadium that's under contruction?
Looked like a massive inverted crab when we drove passed it in late July/early August, LOL.
@ all ye gamers:
Quake III Arena now runs on S60 3rd edition:
'Compatible with the QUAKE III Arena port are the S60 3rd Edition phones powered by a TI OMAP 2420 processor. Those include the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N82 and Nokia E90.
Despite having the same chipset, the now elderly Nokia N95 isn`t among the compatible models as it has less RAM than the N95 8GB (half the amount, actually).'
