Lol,ye same here hey, 800x480 in a 3inch screen must be freakin sweet to web browse in landscape. Ye i must admit ive actualy had a XDA Developers account since August last year lol, and read up on modding now and then, im as confused as you lol, it looks like you have to try them all and stick to the one you like also read the comments of every ROM lol, i would pick the one that gives the best batt life. Also remember X1 is as far as i remember rated the best PPC there at XDA, has a larger 1500mAh battery than TP, has a 3.5mm jack for headset, that Optical mouse pad that makes Web browsing a breeze and the Media Panel , although TouchPro has TV-Out you're gona have to buy that HTC cable yourself it aint in the package, to me thats pointless lol. I think X1 is the best allround hey, the HTCs are boring plus way too business orientated and the Samsungs have awkward screen resolutions.

P1i pic: Stocking up on braai coals again, LOL. It's difficult to get hold of decent braai coals in the Winter months here, so every year it's a case of stocking up until the following springtime.

@GUCCI: I'll start believing all this hype about Seacom once I see tangible results from the networks...seems to me they're not interested and getting more people on the net but only in maintaining their ridiculous profit margins. Neotel has been pretty disappointing, if one reads some of the threads at MyBroadband.

@Brix, i cant get myself to think of neotel as a serious market player. They are supposed to be the second NATIONAL operator, but they are only focusing on metropolitan areas? WTF whats national about that?

WRT SEACOM, you guys can take my word on this, we wont see any drastic price improvements for at least 6 - 18 months. We might get more value for our money, in terms of same price more GBs but i doubt it will be when SEACOM goes live in a few days time. I doubt that we will see ANY changes in this year, and i DO hope to be pleasantly surprised when i am proven wrong. Unlikely though

Woke up today,booted up my phone like any other day and found that my mem card was corrupted, 2GB of music, 500mb of music videos, 130mb of apps and games, some +30 bookmarks for websites,apps, tweaks etc. . .all gone,had to format, and now cleaning up the mess they left in the internal memory. ah well.
I realy do hope it proves you both wrong Brix and Rhino lol just going to have to wait and see.

OmniaHD gets a thumbs down from the dog oke: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1532013&page=6&pp=15 apparently suffers from bad reception,and if you go a few pages back it turns to have a not so good batt life, looks like Samsung havent learnt their lesson in RF cause the Innov8 and G810 have the same issues.
