What's up *JoJo*?

@Gautengers

Tsepz, gola and Hobbs, I need your help. I'm in need of a Moto V8 battery. Where around Gauteng can I get a battery, preferably a genuine Moto battery?

Around my area I can easily buy genuine SE and Nokia batteries at Vodashop but not any other brands.

I'll be in Gauteng (Jo'burg) tomorrow.

Thanks for the help!

I'd suggest looking in Vodaworld, its in Midrand. Last i was there (about this time last year) there was a Motorola shop, not sure if its still there though,but thats the only place i can think of.

Yes, I have Hobbs. I didn't find it in Midrand though but in Pretoria, Menlyn. Had to drive there as I felt it was closer and I was done with my errands and had time on my side.

Thanks for asking.

They whole heartedly deserved the trophy Wangs.All round they are a well oiled unit and a 20/20 force to be reckoned with.They played fantastic cricket.Was a great tournament to watch.Games that stuck out for me were the Sri Lankans win over India and the Aussie win over the Pakistani's.Absolutely brilliant matches.I so wish the Proteas could possess some of the fire the other teams seem to have.Pakistan come to mind.When they ignite that inner flame they BURN! We just dont seem to have that with the players we have in the team at the moment.They all just seem so sedate.Theres no hunger and thats when I personally think heads should roll.New blood need to be given a chance and some of those seniors can chase a place back in that Proteas team again if they really want it.At the moment there are too many guys who are feeling way to comfortable and need a right ol' kick in the butt.

Just went to http://www.speedtest.net/ and tested my Vodacom internet connection using my iPhone.Results arent that bad.Will try later to see if I can get better results.

Download 2.44mb/s
Upload 0.12mb/s

MP3 File (5MB) - 17 seconds
Video Clip (35mb) - 2 minutes
Movie (800mb) - 44minutes

Curious to know what everyone else is getting.Do the test and let me know,especially on some of your newer phones.

Did the speedtest on my 5800 got:
Download: 1.7mb/s
Upload: 0.15mb/s
Would also like to know what newer phones will do, although i guess it depends on your location,ive got very patchy 3G/HSDPA, as we are in the lower part of the valley, it drives us nuts, calls tend to be dropped especialy in the garage and kitchen, we maybe moving house later this year though,already got an offer, so hopefuly where we move to will have better signal i wana lock my phone to HSDPA but here when i do it fluctuates like crazy with every little movement.
