Yeah I went into a Telecom store today and had a go on the W705 and C510 (no sign of any recall, so maybe it was just a rumour). They are quite nice and its good to see Telecom have kept their branding to a minimum with only a link to T World on the right softkey. The W705 was really nice, although nothing special on the software front. Just the same as any A2 phone I've seen. I actually thought the C510 was better.

Took them long enough. The dummy has been sitting in the window of my local Vodafone store for a good 3-4 months...

Im really curious to see pictures taken by SE W995 (retail versions though, sick of seeing pre release samples) and a sample video too. Im considering buying this if the camera is similar to the C905 and sell the Renoir to my mate whos really interested in it. Would it be a bad decision or not you reckon? I just really enjoy my music and miss having a 3.5mm jack and good bass. The Renoir is clear in sound but lacks bass which is dissapointing... |

I think it would be a good, but possibly expensive idea. The W995 looks like it really has it all for a feature phone... You'll miss out on the touch screen, but the W995 will definitely suit your music needs.

I hope he gets compensation, and that Joe Karam gets compensated too for the huge toll on his business, family and self. He should be nominated for a New Years honour IMO.
Did any of our CHCH members attend the court over the last 57 days? The public gallery is open to anyone to have a look... so long as you switch your cellphone off!

Nah, I prefer to just follow it via the news. However he did go to the movies next door to my work about a week or two back.

He won't be rich. He doesn't automatically qualify for anything, not even an apology.
He is traumatised and will be for some time.
He is penniless and may be able to make something out of interviews and books but not a great deal. I can't see there being a movie or anything like that.
He may/may not be able to take advantage of his singing voice if he still retains that skill.
He'll probably move overseas to get away from the media as did Arthur Allan Thomas for a time.

I think it's highly likely he'll receive some compensation though. This is NZ's biggest court case, I don't think the public are going to be happy unless Bain gets some money.

To that end I wish the News Media would shut up about the expense of the whole process, because it just makes some feel that enough money has been spent already so why spend more? That's completely unfair to Bain.
If the media want to make a point about the expense, why not ask the Police and Crown Prosecutor for comment? NZ media are just parasites most of the time.
For a very good crtique of the NZ Media, see here:
http://tvnz.co.nz/media7/video
or watch Media7 on TVNZ 7 if you have Freeview.
Episode 19 has a good panel discussion on what is and isn't 'Off the record'. These vultures are so hipocritical! They use multiple takes to make themselves look good but claim that politicians are like professional sports people, they should be able to perform on cue, in an instant and get it right every time or else be taken down in public. What BS!!! Find me a professional sportsperson in NZ who is totally infallible and never made a mistake, and I'll find you a flying pig holding and autographed picture of the Loch Ness Monster and a map to Jimmy Hoffa's body! Morons.
Note: Russel Brown's comment about having to 'do some work' when investigating information leaked from politicians. Funny!! Yes Duncan, you got caught saying what you mean.
Sorry for the rant...  Lazy, cynical media gets me wound up.

Yeah, the media arent exactly the most truthful information providers...
Have you seen the W995 camera samples recently?? One compared shots with the iphone and the iphone pics looked brighter, better colours! Purple fringing, a white cast across the pictures, blurry, dull looking colours...is this an 8 megapixel camera? I would of expected alot more from such a high end phone. So thats that then cross it off my list! |

I don't believe that camera comparison for a moment. My iPhone produces pics that are next to useless, my V640i photos are heaps better. I would expect W995 to be a lot better than V640i.
iPhone sample pic
V640i sample pic
V630i sample pic
V800 sample pic
You decide.

Yeah I saw the W995/iPhone comparison too. I don't honestly believe it would be that bad... It's the same module as the C905 so it couldn't be as bad as the iPhone which carkitter has just demonstrated is next to useless.
Haha I just heard it wasn't just the C510 that was recalled on Telecom, but every single phone! Apparently a software problem. The guy who told me said he has "inside info" but I really don't know how much credibility this rumour has.
