I've got a soft spot for the N900, there, I've said it!
And I now have a real reason to get a new screen for my Satio, it fell and cracked and no it wasn't planned 
...thanks wanqs, good times indeed, I will do so soon... 
Edit: Well I just finished "updating" and I definitely didn't get WVGA (864 x 480 pixels) video recording, or do I have to unlock it first?

Lol Gola,:o Dam! Is the Satio screen made of glass? I thought all Resistive screens were made of soft plastic at the top where you Touch and hard under that  anyway hope it doesnt take long to fix bro. Hobbs is not going to be impressed 
What do you think of Vivaz by the way? If its at the right price i think i may go for it...

nah, it's plastic, but I'd rather it was glass. Well it's doing to take awhile 'cos I want to get it insured then claim afterwards, don't know how that is going to turn out...
Yeah, all I could think about is HOBBS' words  eish.
Ya, i noticed that you like the Vivaz, well if I had a choice between it and the N900, I'd go for the latter. I don't know much about the Vivaz other than it looks good, it's got HD recording and a different homescreen to the satio that for some reason has everyone on Esato excited. What do you think about the rumoured 12mp Nokia?

Haha! Nice! Well when you insure its not like they come and look at your phone, we insured all the phones over the phone,all they asked was the IMEI, Model and price of the phone,so that shouldnt be a problem. Is it still useable though? Fixing a resistive shouldn't be as expensive as a capacitive, but then again its an SE,hopefuly the insurance cover that.
Part of me wants the Satio but the battery is such a major deal breaker 
Yep dig the Vivaz in Black, i would also take a N900 without any hesitation but that thing is going to be expensive,if the N97 is 8g's im sure N900 will be like 10,so Voda will ask for a large pay-in.
Not sure yet though, i wonder when NOKIA will announce that 12mp, and then there's also the Moto Milestone and Htc Hero that i like a lot

Ya, it's readable, the crack is about 2cm at the top right corner, but it breaks my heart every time I look at the screen, it's going to stay like this for a while until I go home, I hope
Well you get used to charging the phone once daily, it's not that bad...
I checked the n900 the other day on the net and it was R6000, I was expecting more.
Did you just Motorola, lol, yeah sure it's awesome, but it's still a Motorola. The Hero on the other hand
Do I need to unlock my phone first before I can update it?

oh thats not bad then, i had this image of the whole screen cracked in my mind.
Thats not bad then, hmmm...we'll see,in that case i may have a Satio come August, is it performing as well as the W900 in terms of music quality though?
R6000 for N900? where did you see that?
Haha! Yeah, true,still a MOTO, i dont think its coming to SA though, are MOTO even still here? It seems to be the most complete Android,im not totaly into the NexusOne.
Unless VodaCom have some how managed to get the new Satio update on time then nah,you dont need to unlock, but being Voda i dont think they do, i debranded my 5800 when updating to V40 back in January, its now March and they still dont have V40 apparently. So you probably will need to debrand,just run SEUS and check if the update is available for you though.

Hi Guys.Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Gola Gola Gola.Where do I begin ....... Nah,I won't bore you other than to say sorry to hear that and hope you can get it fixed in quick time and covered by insurance.
Just checked my upgrade dates and I have one in May and one in July.Shocking thing is......I don't care and am going to terminate both.Am I terminally ill? Did I suffer a serious head injury? Have I lost my mind?
This must be the first time in the last couple of years that I haven't run around like a headless chicken.Wow! I'm shocked.E90 and iPhone all the way baby.Like a sensible Wangaman.
@Brix Stormers played well against the Highlanders.Potential semi-finalist? What do you think? Maybe to early to tell.

Yes Hobbs,you are indeed crazy  watch a couple of N900 reviews and im sure you'll be looking to replace the E90 with it lol,and the 3G with the upcoming iPhone4G.
Speaking of upgrades, i was just browsing EliteMobile and, clicked on Satio,right now its just R800 pay-in on my contract thats a lot of phone for that, going into the Geek details: its the least expensive smartphone running on the high-end ARM A8-Cortex platform,with its TI OMAP3430 CPU, the Vivaz is meant to be cheaper than Satio, so im now realy looking forward to it now  i REALY cant see NOKIA doing better than that, the X6 is an option but its just a 5800xm with a 5mp cam and Capacitive display, N97Mini has inherited a lot of N97 bugs, and the N97 is at a ridiculous R2599 pay-in, Vivaz or Satio FTW!! lol

Thanks. Well, with regards to music performance, the volume is the only problem, other than that, all is good
I was wrong about the update, the music doesn't stop any more after checking my airtime. But that annoying beeping sound is still there.
The Satio is a really great phone, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want one, just make sure that the screen always has the protector.
About the N900, it's R5950 at cacell.co.za http://www.cacell.co.za/advan[....]?keywords=n900&categories_id=1

Gola
Thanx for the info bro!
All
Local rapper JubJub and a friend of his have got themselves into some major kak:
http://www.iol.co.za/index.ph[....]_id=vn20100309041111629C991982
Deepest condolences to the victims familys
saw some footage of them pulling out the one Mini Cooper S, with its suspension sticking out the side they must have been flying, both looked completely wrecked.
Many under estimate those little machines...
