I agree 100% with you Wangs.
I got to see one of the old Communicators in action the other day and I must say the old Communicator software is quite cool.I'd take it over S60 anyday.It just looks cool and different,whereas if you've had a S60 phone before the E90 you pretty much got the same thing just on a 800 by 352 screen.What a pity they changed even though I can see all the reasons why it was the best thing to do.

Wanqa,
Thats bad. Im really startin 2 get nervous. If such a big company such as honda wud pull out of motorsport. Wats stoppin the other manufacturers, is there still gonna be any form of motorsport in 5years, i truely hope no1 follows there foot steps

@ kyle:
Yeah, I think that the proposed budget limitations planned for F1 in 2010 could lure less-affluent teams back into the sport, or certainly encourage the smaller teams to carry on.
I'm sure it'll help the situation a fair bit; maybe similar financial restrictions in other realms of motorsport will be introduced in the year/s ahead to ensure the survival of these mega-expensive motorsport series around the world.

I think the new F1 cars look crap with that small back wing and wide front wing... Just my thoughts...i just hope it isnt going to look any worse...

Anyone got a spare $42 million (approx R411 million) to burn?
There's a few used NASA space shuttles up for sale. Free delivery too:

In other news, seems like Uncle Bob's power trip is showing no sign of relenting (what's new, I suppose, LOL):

Its almost as if history is repeating itself just not as bad as it was before, we got African Hitler rulling over in Zim, we are in a recession, major car manufacturers pulling out of major motosport, etc. . . . Hey atleast we have progressed, its not as bad as it was before
You gota love Mr.Gabrielle Mugabe's speeches especialy when he speaks about himself in the 3rd person lol!

Ye the X1 was realy over hyped, used my Mum's HTC S710 with WM6 today,i just cant get used to the WM UI, it looks so cheap and boring, its as if im using an unfinished version of Windows XP or something, even if i had the cash for an X1 think i'd rather get the E90 or just get a BB Bold

LG's Prada II hits European shelves now, with less than a week to go before Christmas:

http://www.gsmarena.com/the_n[....]ours_for_600_euro-news-712.php

600 Euros... eish with the Euro almost as strong as the Pound now, that's a whole lotta money to shell out for this fashion QWERTY phone.

Hope you guys are watching the cricket.The Proteas need less than 200 to win with 7 wickets remaining.If there isnt a major middle order collapse we could just take this first test.Congrats Amla and Smith on their century and half century.

Yeah it's very evenly poised; Kallis and AB have a huge responsibility on their shoulders. Was great to see Kallis smack the ball all over to such an extent in the last few overs instead of the usual test cricket procedure of just blocking the final few overs of the day.
A collapse like the first innings again and we wouldn't deserve to win.
Man it would be so incredibly sweet if the Proteas can get those last 187 runs.

We can just hope. Maybe ktm will introduce a electric f1 car just like they hve made a electric dirt bike. Without the engine, petrol tank, gear box and so on. It makes the bike so much lighter. But it doesnt hve the oommfff that a petrol engine has. Maybe 1day they'll figure it out

@ Kyle:

I think we'll be seeing more and more forms of electrical energy being used in all arenas.
My other hobby is designing and flying my own radio controlled aircraft and 10 years ago, electric motors and heavy, limited battery cells made elecric flight a bit of a novelty. Nowadays, with the explosion of technology in lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries, and the massive range of electric motors, gear drives and MosFet speed controllers and circuitry around, they're now capable of powering much larger, fully aerobatic aircraft. There's so many options out there now that one is absolutely spoilt for choice.
Absolutely amazing what they can ahieve now.
