LOL she cant sell her house cause the water,electricity etc. . . amounts still need to be corrected.
I cant realy explain candy paint, maybe Wanqa can,it just tends to look a lot more sharper and brighter than it would in eg. normal red, like theres more paint coats.

@ Gucci n' gola:

The Urban Dictionary explains 'candy paint' the best, IMHO:

'An automotive finish. Consists of a base coat (usually metallic, with small to large metallic flakes), followed by the 'candy', which is followed by a clear coat. The candy is a translucent colour coat, which is either a specialty candy paint or a clear-coat paint tinted with dye.

The final colour and darkness of the finish depends on the color and darkness of the basecoat, the amount of tint in the candy coat, and the number of candy coats applied.

Candy paint requires a lot of sanding and is very labour intensive. It also requires a skilled painter to get a consistent color, as any variation in the thickness of the candy paint will appear as streaks or dark/light patches in the final finish. Due to this, candy paint is usually very expensive.
Translucent, wet-look paint.'

@da wanqa: Driving on the N2 the other day I saw a strange-looking three-wheel motocycle, looked like something inspired by Batman but only a bit scaled down and with red paint instead of black.

According mKhoj, the Samsung E250 is the most popular phone in SA...which is not totally suprising when one considers all those kids and adults who've taken a liking to one of Samsung's cheapest phones.

Crap just noticed a dust particle right in the middle of my screen i cant get used to it,its a bit larger than the usual spot, and its VERY visible when i have a black background eg. When browsing Pro, its driving me insane. Kyle, have you ever opened up the area above the dpad and soft keys? The area that covers screen? If so how? Im desperate here its the 1st time ive ever had a dust particle trapped under this phone's screen cover.

Never mind,i managed to pop off the faceplate with a very thin knife i found by running it down the gap between the smooth black plastic and the white/silver-ish frame, Nokia has made it very easy to do little DIY jobs on these phones. Screen seems to be just fine now.

Sorry gucci only read your message now. Lol.
How did you do it? Didnt you have to unscrew the 2 screws underneath the dpad area?
Iv got so much must underneath my screen. Specially when i got it back from vodacom.
Im to scared to try take the screen cover off to remove the dust. I dont want to break it.

@ da brixsta:

Ya there's an increasing range of trikes emerging, but often their prices and sometimes complexity don't really spur as much interest as their 2 or 4 wheeled counterparts. The Spyder Trike is one of the more common ones:

Taken from GSMArena today :

'1.5 billion Apple App Store downloads achieved in a year
14 July, 2009

Today Apple announced that the number of downloaded applications from their App Store has just exceeded 1.5 billion.

Just one short year after the launch of the online application store the figures unequivocally suggest that this is one of the most successful projects in the mobile industry history.

What's even better for Apple is that the download rate is increasing - it was less than 3 months ago when the counter on the company's website flipped over the one billion mark. This suggests that since that moment an average of more than 6 million apps have been downloaded every day.

With more than 65,000 apps available to 40 million iPhone and iPod touch consumers in 77 countries those numbers aren't really surprising but they are a success nonetheless. We are only hoping the quantity will improve quality and the percentage of actually useful apps will be too be on the rise in the future.'

Oooh how i hate Apple lol,there's just no stopping them.
Gola
Thanx man,it was nerve wrecking but it had to be done
Kyle
Nope,no screws at all to mess with, those are just to hold the white/silver parts together.
Remember how you told me to take off the area with the dpad? Its exactly the same, but be VERY careful, the bottom part where for you its written Vodafone, that has horizontal clips so you must slide it out.
Run something thin yet strong up the right side of the screen, it will pop off that side, be very careful how you hold the phone cause the LCD itself is lose and only hanging-on to its connector (bottom left), now try to pop off the top left clip and the rest of the left side, but like i said carefuly cause the bottom clips are horizontal you must then slide it out upward once you've done the others, and it will slip out, no problem be extremely careful with that LCD bro, lol, i got a bit curious though, so i lifted the right side of the LCD up and saw part of the sliding mechanisim, realy nice, the phone has quite a bit of metal in there, that could explain its above average weight. goodluck bro.
