I've never read those manuals either Brix.The iPhone never even came with a manual or a cd.If you wanted one you had to download it.

Same here. The only time I refer to a manual is if I'm battling to get the battery cover off for the first time on a new phone; after that it's pretty much buried in the box it came in.

@HOBBS, I am not unhappy with my 5800, far from it, and I am not drooling @ any of the new phones coming up, even though I wouldnt mind getting my hands on a new phone. (BTW did you sort out your login probs from pc?)

@BRIX... UHHHMMM what is a manual? I have heard rumors, but can certainly not say that i encountered one of those lately...

Im happy with my N81, almost 2years old now and still enjoying it, just want to get a 16gb mem card for it and maybe the Blue housing . . .doubt the latter will happen,but ye, wouldnt mind a new phone like the N86 or Palm Pre.
Cant realy say the same about the K850, although it works like a charm when used just as a camera
I usualy read the manual just to find out how as Wanqa said to remove the batt cover,as well as sim tray/cover, must add that the W800 had the worst sim slot, thanx to it my sim is covered in quite a few scratches.

This is Nokia's 'defence' as to why the N86 was not blessed with a Xenon flash :

The Blackberry Curve 8900 is now being sold on PAYG by one of the networks here, for just under 250 (approx R3250):

So today I was in the fortunate position to have lunch with Graeme Smith. He's an OK bloke I guess but me being a journalist, he had to be careful with his choice of words even though I was not carrying my note pad.
It was cool though as he recounted the moment he came out to bat with a broken hand. BTW, you can read all that in his new book which he was flogging.

No Wi-fi for me is a biggie.I love wifi.Both my phones are connected with the Mweb router at work as is my tiny little Acer Aspire.So it's important to me.
@Brix Did you ask him how he could be such a sucker to let Minki go? lol
