Sorry about that, did you take it to Vodaworld or something?
I'm thinking of getting mine replaced, it's all scratched
I don't get why SE didn't make it scratch resistant, or atleast include a pouch like the cool 5800's...

Thanks Boet

Lol,dam Gola, how did that happen? Im sometimes too lazy to use my finger or pull out the stylus eg. If im replying to a sms in class, so i use a pen or whatever pointy object i can find to touch the screen, no scratchs though, 5800 seems to use a very soft plastic screen, dont know if thats a good thing right now, but it seems very durable, time will tell though lol.
By the way was just listenin to that Weezy ft. Nicki Minaj Sweet Dreams remix, pretty tite, so shes the chick in the Bedrock track as well? Dig the way Weezy kills the beat then brings it back when he begins.
By the way the 5800's cover is awful i only use it when i know its going to be a crazy night, otherwise it almost doubles the size of the phone, and can be difficult to remove lol, wish it just came with a E75 type leather cover.

Taken from GSMArena:

'Tethering made easy: SIMFi is a SIM card with built-in Wi-Fi router

Some mobile phones can do Wi-Fi tethering, others need to connect to the PC Suite for Internet sharing and some just can't do it, period. But what if the SIM card in the phone could do it all by itself? Sagem Orga and Telefonica have come up with such a SIM card, dubbed SIMFi.

SIMFi is compatible with existing phones but acts as a Wi-Fi router that any device can connect to. The Wi-Fi gadgetry is integrated into the card itself, but we guess you'd still need a phone with good 3G connectivity to source the data connection in the first place.

More information should be revealed at the MWC next week and hopefully some nagging questions about SIMFi will be answered, like how good a Wi-Fi radio have they managed to fit into the SIM card form-factor and what kind of strain that will put on the phone's battery.

Anyway, this has the potential to become highly popular for customers with solid data plans. Get a SIMFi card with a data plan and you can use it both for your phone and laptop/netbook with no hassle - no moving the card back and forth between the phone and modem or worry about PC Suites or tethering hacks.

HTC HD2 owners are probably smiling right now, their phone came with a Wi-Fi Router app preinstalled. But SIMFi will work on feature phones too, which is a pretty big advantage.'

u guys talk accessing the web 4 free.

That's cool, but as Gucci was referring to, there's already a dedicated forum for that.

We'll talk about phones, (including broken screens), cars and other stuff in here. After all, variety is the spice of life.

And by that, by no means does that undermine the significance of the other thread's purpose and importance to many.

GUCCI
Yeah man, it got scratched through normal use I guess, but it's mostly the stylus when the phone is in my pocket...
I'd still want a pouch though.
Yeah, it's the same Nicki..." And I'm rich I could buy you" lol.
That's about the only coolest thing about Weezy's verse, don't get me wrong, he still gets my respect.

HOBBS
lol, you heartless. I blame it on the stylus, although I do prefer it as to the ones that slide into the phone... Oh well.
