@HOBBS: That golddigger ex wife of his must've also been shedding tears, that her meal ticket has regained his form- she might just get her demands met. On a serious not, the guy's been thru a lot last yr, DUI, divorce and rehab...he needed a good break.

I've had to follow it on the BBC's mobile site, as I was at a big bike event the entire day. After all the happy-snapping, my battery died when Oz were 231 for 6. With less than 10 overs to go at the time, it was pretty much mission accomplished.
Glad they've won at St George's park again; Oz had won 7 out of the last 8 encounters there, before today's match.
So we keep the ODI top ranking.

@wanqa: These pics remind me of those shows on Discovery Turbo. Seriously only the guy who created that atrocity could care to show it off to the world albeit a receptive crowd...indeed, as they say, taste is subjective.

@ da brixsta:
It certainly is. Not to be out-done, there were these monstrosities too :

Good to have you back. Lol, IMO thats a no brainer, 5800xm is your best bet. Its got all that you want including Nokia Maps with Touch navigation also Its going to have lots of attention from Nokia since its so popular so it will have constant FW update support for the next year and a half, otherwise go for 6220c just my 2c worth.

Have to agree with Gucci there, and here's a classic example of how apps etc for S60 touchscreen are developing at a very rapid pace (article found on GSMArena yesterday):
'Multi-touch coming to for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, sort of'
Yes, you read it right. A developer created a simple game introducing the multi-touch implementation. The application itself reminds the popular Guitar Hero console games, but its breakthrough may established a whole new path in the mobile software.
Jamie Fuller, a UK programmer, successfully created the first multi-touch application for Symbian S60 5th edition or Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in particular. The app it's still at it's alpha stage, but you can easily get the idea.
The real news today is that the multi-touch game called Space Dancer is now available as a free download from Jamie Fuller's website. The basic game reminds of the popular console series Guitar Hero, where your objective is to touch the correct music notes flying on screen in accordance to the currently playing music track.
Up until not long ago it was considered impossible running multi-touch apps on resistive touchscreen displays but there are some companies such as Stantum, for instance, that are already working successfully on the task.
Now we see the same feat managed by a third-party developer using only software methods - and best of all, running on a popular handset. The exciting opportunities are overwhelming.'
There's a demo of this in action on youtube as well.

Great pics, rhino.
Good subject matter for the sepia shot, and the macro picked up those bonking beetles well, LOL.
A glass of beer for 5c... and the cheaper variety of brandy for 10c!! Eish, it's a good thing that they're still not those prices; can you imagine how much of the nation would become permanently pissed?
