@GUCCI Sound like you are a very happy 5800 camper.Glad to hear.Those OVI Maps sure sound reliable and efficient.Well done Nokia.With the lure of free navigation that is surely going to sell a shitload of phones.I never caught on to Comes With Music.Yes the tracks are free but you still have to pay for data downloading from your SP so for me that cancels out the free.I can get free music any place.NOKIA sure are a force to be reckoned with.I still want a balancing out of market share with level playing fields for the top 3 or 4.I don't like one company dominating the scene.Maybe in years to come but for now I thing the BIG N is going to be on top for a while.
I once had a Nokia 3300 Music phone and boy did that thing have fantastic sound.Nokia's music edition phones are top notch.I cant believe how many cellphones I've owned.Its insane.

Go Symbian!! LOL. Taken from GSMArena today:
'Symbian goes fully open source, it's a free download to all
There have been quite a few rumors about the fate of Symbian, but now the OS has entered a new stage of its existence - its code is now open source. This move began in June 2008, when Nokia bought Symbian and created the Symbian Foundation to take over the development of the OS. And the Foundation has big plans for the future.
Symbian OS is still the most popular smartphone operating system with 330 million units shipped only last year. The Foundation claims this is the largest transition to open source ever and believes it will help speed up the evolution of the platform. And evolution it needs - with the likes of the iPhone and Google's Android OS, which is also open source, exploding into popularity.
The Symbian Foundation includes Nokia, LG, Motorola, NTT Docomo, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, operators Vodafone and AT&T and chipmaker Texas Instruments. Nokia has been the primary developer in Symbian, but plans to reduce their input to less than 50% by the second half of 2011.
This will leave room for a lot more contributors - now that the Symbian code is available for anyone. In fact the source code should be up for download from the Symbian Foundation website starting 14:00 GMT today. The platform includes the OS itself but also things developed by individual members of the Foundation, including the user interfaces.
The Foundation also hopes this move will lead to a faster development of third party apps now that developers are not hindered by so much proprietary aspects of Symbian. They also hope that the open source nature will improve the security of the OS.
So, in a way Symbian as we know it is going away - this is the end of the line for Symbian S60, which is the last man standing after Sony Ericsson gave up on UIQ. The source code that the Symbian Foundation is releasing seems to be Symbian^3, especially since Symbian^1 is actually S60 5th edition and Symbian^2 was dropped.
We are yet to see the impact this move will create on other open source initiatives like LiMo and if it will help Symbian recover some of the lost ground against iPhone and Android.'

Wow, I just got off an SUV of my dreams! No, it's not the X5 M but the 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged and does it say opulence inside. The interior, the ride (comfort) and noise level inside are heavenly to say the least. It probably won't drive like an X5 M or the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S but that it is a fully fledged off roader makes me love it better than my favourite brand BMW. Sadly, I wasn't driving but was a passenger and the owner is my brother's friend who is a lawyer. A black 2010 Rangie sport supercharged and a 2011 BMW M5 in my garage is a perfect blend.

Ya lucky fish! Its a gorgeous beast lol! This will make you sick to your stomach but there are a couple of students at my uni who drive those new Range Rovers. You should just pop by when you're in Jhb,just take a peak at its parking lot, one 2nd year student drives a Cayenne GTS  ,theres a bunch of M3s, another 2nd year in hotel management has a Carrera4s cabrio, and on my 1st day some chick rocked up in a Maserati, unbelievable, think i should introduce myself lol. Did he floor that Range Rover? Those things sound so good! Im jealous

Damn!!
Students driving those cars?!!
And here I am still driving the first generation X5 that feels old to me now. Gotta go get me the Rangie. I can't believe some students are riding Maseratis, M3s and Porsches. Simply amazing!
LOL, I hope the chick you're going to introduce yourself to looks as hot as the Maserati 
No, he didn't floor it he was just cruising but the damn thing is seriously brilliiant! At R1 200 000 it should be!

You gota see it to believe it, BMW 1series is the new Citi Golf, lol.
Those 1st gen X5s are beauties though the 4.4 and 4.8 still do it for me. Has it been reliable?
LOL! She was okay, id pick the car over her any day though
Wow! R1.2mill??? Dam,it must be good, i wonder how much the big Range Rover Vogue is then they are gorgeous cars, as minor as the changes are in the 2010 Sport,it makes the previous one look totaly outdated,it looks a lot meaner-if that makes sense 
As much as i love them SUVs my dream garage consists of a MINI John Cooper Works, (the fact that its so under rated and unique, yet can destroy a GTI and ST), and a BMW M3,id be happy lol. Am i the only one who sees no use in a supercar? Unless its a Porsche? Lol

Gola, you heard the track Aloha by Fat Joe featuring Pleasure P? Pretty cool beat, type of track you'd just pump in the car,loads of bass.

She'd be very offended if she were to hear/read that. It really is a far cry from our days at varsity looking at the new students with supercars. Wow, the world has moved on.
I drive the 3.0 litre version, wish I opted for the 4.8is but finances didn't allow me then. It has been reliable thus far I have to say. The only incident I ever had with it was an encounter with a pothole that damage the rim and that's it.
Yeah, the new Range does make the old ones outdated, I
really dig the Sport Supercharged. I'm with you on the supercars, I don't see the need for them either. I'd always replace them with an M5 or if I were to change an RS 6 from Audi.
