Yeah Firefox is also my main browser; IE 'hangs' too frequently for my liking.
Dig Firefox's range of themes as well.



Not to mention that there are loads of plugins


Wanqa, i'll be keeping a close eye on your price updates over the next few months. My sister will be heading home towards the end of April for my brother's wedding, so I've asked her to buy a new Symbian prior to departure. With any luck the E90's price will have dropped to some ridiculously low level by then.
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious.

@ Kryptik:
Ya I'll keep the updates rolling, re the pricings of Finland's Finest.

Not sure about any monumental price drop of the E90 in that time frame, boet. That thing has held its value better than any other phone I can think of in the history of Wanqa's Price Watching.

The cheapest (excluding eBay) so far is from Mobilefun, for just over 450 (approx R6450.. ):

More Nokias announced:

WTF? Fixed-focus 3.2mp cam on the new 6303, Nokia? First shoving retrogressive (read cheaper) cam modules in various non-high end models, now this from Nokia?!
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia[....]_and_2700_classic-news-762.php

I really appreciated the fact that Nokia still included decent auto-focus cam units in their midrange phones like the 6500 Slide, 7610 Supernova, 3600 Slide, 6600 Slide, 5610 etc.

Hmm...

Love em, but i decided thaat ill only take what i can get for free on a weekender, i spend waaayyyy too much on my phone bill, and i need to reduce that.

I dont mind win mo, and i would like to have another win mo device, BUT i wont go on spending heaps on em as i used to... Being married is a bit of a drain on my pocket for the time being

SEEMS the proteas have done it again... WoOOOHOOOOOoooO

WE ARE NO 1 IN THE WORLD OF CRICKET.
FANTASTIC.
GREAT PERFORMANCE TODAY FROM THE WHOLE TEAM AND ESPECIALLY THE TWO NEW DEBUTANTS.
IT IS SUCH A PITY AMLA COULDNT GET THAT 100 AND GOT OUT ON 97.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE RETURN LEG HERE IN SA.
ITS GOING TO BE EXCITING STUFF WITH AUSTRALIA LOOKING FOR REVENGE.
AND WE KNOW WHEN THOSE BOYS CLICK THEY CAN DESTROY ANYONE IN THEIR PATH.

RHINO
LETS SEE WHATS AVAILABLE AROUND THAT TIME AND DECIDE THEN.

WANGS
DONE ANYMORE READING ON THE 5800 THAT PERSUADED YOU TO 'NOT' GET IT.
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THAT LAST LINK YOU GAVE US IS WHEN SOMEONE STATES THAT THE IPHONE'S UI IS 50X FASTER THAN THE 5800 IS JUST FULL OF CRAP.BIT OF AN EXAGGERATION ME THINKS.
FIRMWARE UPDATES WILL SORT THAT ONE OUT.

So the BlackBerry Storm has been available in SA for a while now, wasn't it released after the C905?

My once unhackable N81 due to its latest V21 fw is now hacked thanx to the new DeltaFoX method that allows hacking newer S60 firmwares, YIPEE! Im now again able to manage my internal memory and mod my trusty N81 going to look for some mods now. Symbian Freak modding section is once again buzzing due to the new hack,new things popping up everyday lol!
