lol rhino it's my hobby.and the deals I end up making with my old phones makes it so I don't even notice the financial pinch.
This Iphone is very captivating.The whole world of Apple and Itunes is very captivating (never thought I'd ever say that) I can see Stephen Fry grinning from ear to ear with hearing that confession.I am truly blown away.I won't be singing anymore Apple praises but I give credit where credit is due.A truly magnificent device and I haven't even opened the door yet.

Just updated my software to the latest 2.2.1 and it was insanely stressful.Its a 246mb update and the first attempt bombed leaving me with a dead Iphone.Luckily it backs up your previous software and second time I was lucky.Havent had a chance to look at all the changes yet.That wiped me out and I need to go sleep now lol
Hope everyone is kewl.

246mb???  WOAH! Not even the N95-8gb had updates that large in size, typical American products,if they dont guzzel your fuel they guzzel your data. Glad it all worked out in the end Hobbs,so you havent tried Jailbreaking it yet or anything?

Far canal! That is a moerse update indeed...
LMAO, I was also thinking this morning as to how proud Stephen Fry would be as regards your Awesome Apple Adventure, Hobbster.
You beat me to it, LOL.
I occasionally watch Stephen Fry on a TV quiz show that he hosts here called QI (as opposed to IQ). Dang, the man is a multi-talented, walking encyclopedia.
Off topic, I'm taking the class to an outdoor education camp in rural Essex from tomorrow until Friday. I thus won't have much time to post (or sleep!) over the next few days.
Keep the ball rollin' in here, guys. 
@ Hobbster:
Hope you've had more of a chance to sample the multimedia munchies on offer in Appstore Land tonight.

Nice to read of your iPhone explorations...
Anyway, I still can't find the time to take pics with the 5800xm, I have taken the following, in very low lit, with flash.
First one, is a macro mode, I have cropped a part of the image, to keep the original quality.
And here are some pix, 30% of the original size to save bandwidth.
I can not say that i am disappointed with the camera.

Today I got to play with an X1 for the first time.
Well, I have to say, I am really glad that i never got around to getting one. Yes it is a great looking phone, it works like a treat, and it feels sturdy, but its just sooo bulky compared to my 5800xm.
(I guess its wrong to compare everything to my 5800, but thats the way the 5800xm impressed me.)

Got to play with a friends C902 James Bond Edition, he got it on a MTN contract, by far the WORST SE i have used, the UI is nice BuUT the physical phone itself is a nightmare lol, it kept slipping down in my hand, and the keys are all raised up,thin and realy hard, it also felt sturdy and well built but i could never live with it, my hands would be in constant pain, gota say its a lot faster than my K850, the media player and accelerometer are very responsive, what a shame its a pain to use, combine its software with the K850s body and it would've been a brilliant phone.

I was so dumb.The Iphone in South Africa isnt network or country locked.You can chuck in any simcard you please.So I registered on Itunes as an American citizen,address,telephone number ect because they dont require you to register using your credit card.So alls good.Registered and have full access now to Itunes store.Just checked out some free apps (only 100 free in store) Got Facebook,MMS (an app that makes it possible to MMS to people),Google Mobile app and iGirl (a simulated girl you can interact with on your phone lol) Going to sort out a credit card soon so I can start purchasing the good stuff.Very happy thats all sorted out.
