Subaru out of WRC? Thats realy sad even though i no longer watch WRC it was always good to checkout the results once in a while and i would watch the Cyprus stages since it had so many fast straights but terrible corners and roads. Does Sebastian Loeb still drive for Citron?

Ye thats true Kyle. Then again i dont like Subaru anymore, they screwed themselves over by making their best car in their line-up, the Impreza WRX into a dam hatch back

Yep, and it just doesnt have the presence it had when it was a 4-door saloon. Mitsubishi's latest Evo also looks awful.

@ kyle:
The American (AMA) Superbike series is also in a mess for next year it seems; American Honda have actually pulled out, completely, of that as well!

Im hoping they can get within 50 runs behind Australia which I think is been a bit to hopeful.You have Dale Steyn and Boucher still there with I think Ntini waiting in the wings.Those two tailenders need to just give the strike to Boucher and stay in.Exciting stuff.I love watching cricket between these two nations.No 1 and I think we are no 2 up against each other.Awesome.Clash of the heavyweights.Ponting out for a duck.That was awesome to see.That guy is devastating.As is Matthew Hayden.Let see what tomorrow brings.Think Im going to wake up 04.00am to catch the action with the tailenders fighting tooth and nail.Im on holiday.Woooohooooo!
Checked out the X1 at a Vodacom shop today and Im not to WOW'ed like I thought I would be.Looks better in pictures Ive seen to in the flesh so to speak.Its not my cup of tea.I personally find the QWERTY keys to small.After having experienced the large and user friendly qwerty keyboard on my E90 I dont think I would be able to stand the tiny qwerty keys on the X1.Also build wise I think Im going to find it hard to find anything that can come close to my E90.Also it was the silver version.Maybe the black version would entice me more.I would love to play on a working model.Dying to tinker with Windows Mobile 6.1.It might just blow me away.You never know.I love this E90 and think I'll keep it for as long as it will keep me and then when it finally perishes or I start itching because the new Communicator is gob-smackingly awesome,then I'll upgrade to the next Communicator.Its a great phone.Loving what these Sennheisers have done for my music player.If I keep it up like I have since I got it,I should be pretty deaf within the next three months or so.I cant play my music player on full volume without it been pretty uncomfortable.That is what I was looking for.Good one Sennheisers.You serve me well.250 track with still 13.5GB's to play with.Taking it slow with putting my music on my phone.Tagging each and every album,artist,song with cover/album art.Going to allocate plus/minus 8GB for my music,6GB for movie/clips/music video's ect and the rest for pics,apps,e-books,themes/everything else ect.Its really nice having all this storage space.I see Sandisk 8GB micro SD's are popping up in most shops now for roughly around R550.00.You could never find them,now they every where.
Cool my boss just ported to Vodacom today from MTN and she should be getting her SE T650i by next week.Very excited for her.Its a beautiful phone.She wants the green one but Ive got a feeling Vodacom will only have the blue one.If the phone is by chance discontinued and we cant get it I went on the Sony Ericsson website today and was very suprised to see a SE T700.So that will be her backup if she cant get the T650i.Then if all else fails it will unfortunitely have to be the SE K850i that she will have to settle for.Her heart is stuck on the T650i and T700 if need be and I think she will be highly disappointed if she doesnt get either of those two.I have to admit SE's range of phones on their website arent very enticing to say the least.I think it time for them to shake up the mobile world and bring out something truly spectacular using UIQ3.3 over WM hey Wangs.Remember we looked at that preview of UIQ3.3 Wangs and I personally quite liked what I saw.If only the manufacturers had a bit more patience with UIQ.It all looked very promising.If only the P990i had blemished the p-series like it did.I know many people with the P1i and in most cases you have very happy users who love their phones.X1,I think the hype got to me building up to its release and I forgot about my love of UIQ.Or maybe Im just totally satisfied with what I have for the first time ever and nothing else is catching my attention.

WOW, quite a post there, Hobbster.
Yeah UIQ3.3 looked really bril; it is indeed a shame as although I have a great appreciation for S60, UIQ is still pretty much my first love.
It's such a pity that so much damage was done when UIQ3 was in its infancy; a Symbian problem child of note until an array of firmware makeovers finally had the right stuff to discipline the platform effectively, to finally behave with a very good level of stability.
I think the very fact that the massive Carphone Warehouse here and others have really not bothered with any UIQ device since the P990i (although the  W960i was stocked in very limited numbers for a short while) is a clear indication of the distrust that the platform, in its early days, had created.
What a great pity.
The P1i was only stocked by one or two networks here, which didn't help to promote the handset and of course the platform, compared to the multitude of S60 offerings stocked by all the major networks in the UK.
The situation's even worse with the G900 and G700, which is a real shame IMHO.
I've had the P1i for over a year now, and it's been a stable and reliable smartphone, particularly after the newer firmware update. It took a while for me to warm to UIQ3 after a steady diet of the original UIQ in the form of my much-loved P900. But that's just me; I was so familiar with the original UIQ and it would almost seem natural to not readily warm to the newer OS and its apparent differences. That's all changed now , of course.
In short, I feel that the P1i and its later siblings, together with their withering platforms, are very much underrated.
