@ Gucci:
Ya I also thought of Dups when I read that, LOL. Especially if they also equip it with a decent QWERTY keyboard, hey Dups?

lol GUCCI, I get what you mean, wonder how Weezy is going to turn out, I remember him saying that he is going to be doing some acting...
Can't say I've watched any Casey Affleck movies, the Ocean's aren't that clear in my mind any more and wasn't really a fan.

Hmm, maybe I'll use one of these for the esato monthly photo comp, seeing that the theme for this month is 'Night':

Obviously using a very basic telescope again, and no editing after the pic was taken with the P1i:




Nah, I'll take more night pics in the weeks ahead, then faff around with the cam settings and see what effects I can come up with, and make my mind up which one to select from there.

Nice one wanqs

ALL
The Nelson Mandela/Morgan Freeman rugby movie is nearing, this should do better than D9, obviously...

It's going to be called "Invictus"

Invictus, which has already been tipped for an Academy Award, is set for release in December.

Anyone seen the crazy, at least that what it seems like, special Vodacom is running on the Blackberry Bold? Under R200/month over 24 months.
Spoke to a friend last night and he says the reason for this is due to the bad built quality on the Bold- its scroller ball being the culprit.

Brix
Wouldn't it be advisable to Vodacom and especially BB, to take back all the Bold stocks. I mean it might hurt them in the long run, now that a whole lot of people will have the Bold. A lot of people are going to be eventually unhappy when the scroller thing starts giving in...

I think the scroller ball on the Bold was quite unnecessary, different, but unnecessary...

Eish,unlucky BB. Realy odd, they've been using that scroller ball for quite a long time, how could they get it wrong in the flagship BB? And the Bold is my fav one outa the whole range

The scroller ball thing is an unconfirmed story. Don't take my word for it but still baffled @ why the Bold is so cheap.

Yah, that is realy low, although the Bold does lack hardware, it only has a 2mp camera, no great big touchscreen, no large mass memory etc. . .which is how it seems they determine some prices, but BBs are generaly expensive with Voda so it is odd, maybe its not selling very well? With NOKIA E66,E71, E75 and the HTC S740 being so well priced and better specd.

Is it just me do you guys experience this. Voicmail's left for me are being converted to text messages by a company called SpinVox...after listening to the voicemails and seeing the messages from SpinVox, I'd say they're about 85% even with South African accents- its pretty good.

Ironic that you mention it, Brix, a friend on Flakebook asked the same question earlier today.

Speaking of Flakebook, is it just me or is the site being completely anal lately?
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious.
