Was at Vodafone... err Vodashop today and was offered the X10 for an upgrade but I declined. They offered me a number of phones including the Desire but I said I am waiting for a special kind of phone to replace my P1i

 Dups, just gota hope that device will be made, at this point it seems nobody is prepared to take the risk. By the way did they have the MOTO Milestone in there?

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that that phone is not going to come. That is why I have the Moto Shadow, Iphone HD along with the next Nokia Meego as my group of choice at this stage.
To be honest, the Shadow just sounds great and the Nokia will truly have to be spectacular. The Iphone, I get a feeling is going to be more of the same with a few enhancements like HD recording, better screen resolution, slightly improved camera and maybe a better processor.
Right now the Moto has the most important advantage to me, ie, it had the best call clarity of any manufacturer by a mile and its signal reception is up there with Nokia's. I'm also sure that the build quality on the Moto will be exemplary as always.
I have made up my mind 90 percent on the Moto unless Nokia pulls all the stop on the upcoming Meego or SE and/or Moto announce a P1i style Android in September/November.

Yes, they had the Droid/Milestone. I don't like the sliding keyboard.

Soooo, my contract was due for an upgrade in January, and i ended up getting the samsung star for the mrs, since i am very happy with my 5800 and my Dream... NOW the Mrs can upgrade and she offered to get me the HTC snap, which i am strangely excited about. Maybe the xcitement is more to do with me having good luck with phones others have trouble with than anything else. And besides, i think its tome to retire my W910i

Yay, Bennie McCarthy has been dropped from the squad!!
That makes my day, well, would have if Bryce Moon wasn't also dropped. Such a quality right back, he definitely is better than Gaxa. Such a shame.
Lance Davids is another lucky useless player who should've been axed a long time ago.
Moriri is a mystery, he will score when you leadt expect him to and usually is nowhere in the game. Sounds like the coach's favourite as is Teko Modise whose form has taken a dip.
Sibaya is also not a productive midfielder. Nomvethe is one striker that isn't good at ball playing but one thing in his favour is given a smallest chance the man will score.
Matthew Booth scared the lights out of me yesterday. I've known that he is a slow player but what I saw last night made wonder what would happen against the nippy Mexicans or the likes of Thierry Henry and co. Scarry stuff!

@DUPS Im glad you also noticed Matthew Booth and how slow he was reacting.Cant wait until we meet Denmark on Saturday and see what we've learnt from all these friendlies.Its going to be a thriller.
@RHINO Enjoy your SNAP bro.

@GUCCI Got some replies on my iPhone on Gumtree for sale ad.Check this one out.What do you think?
Hi
Would you be interested in swapping your iPhone for a 32Gig Nokia N97, two months old with box and all accessories?
Regards
I have to decline.I want the sale to cover my pay-in on the X10 so I can skip the phone finance.I've put it on for R3000.00 4 people want it.Just gotta phone them to make sure Im not dealing with a dodgy.Theres another swap for a Sony Ericsson X1 & a Blackberry Storm 2.Gumtree is amazing.If you get bored of your phone,you just make a fair swap.
Went into Cellucity today and I can get an addition 7 days off,so Im looking at the 10th July.Whoo-hoo!

Thats realy good,lol you seem to be very excited to get the X10.
Glad you declined. The N97 has been THEE worst NOKIA flagship, there are tons of people on the forums who dropped their N97s and gone back to the 5800xm or jumped ship to the iPhone3GS.
Im still very uneasy about online trading, especialy after what happened to Falcon and his 5800  ,ive been tempted to trade my K850 but i doubt i'd get anything over R1000 for such a P.O.S phone lol.
7days off? Do you mean 7days less to upgrade? Lol 10July? Thats 2days before me,im trying extremely hard to convince myself to wait for N8 instead of jumping for Vivaz or X10 on the day,i get this feeling il have an X10 you're gona make it extra hard to resist when you get it.
R3800?  WOW! I doubt you can even get that much for a N95-8GB, those iPhones holder their value well.
Goodluck with the traders,hopefuly they are the real deal.

Someone is too impatient for his upgrade. Good for you Hobbs! At least you found a phone you like.
@Tsepz_GP
I'll take that P.O.S off your hands for R50
Yeah, that phone isn't worth much thanks to SE. It had potential but was screwed by SE.
At least they are doing their best not to screw up the X10.

Every time i pick up the k850 i think the same,it could have so easily been a sweet phone, what a shame realy.
That X10 is looking great, im just trying to imagine how awesome it would be to browse with OperaMini5 on that 4inch 854x480 screen, i realy am wondering if forgoing that for HDMI, USB OTG and Symbian^3 is worth it.

Yeah, I have also been wondering about web browsing on that huge X10 screen. Moving from my 2.6" P1i screen is going to be quite an experience.
On whether to go with the X10 or the N8, you are more than comfortable with Symbian so I think the N8 is the phone for you.
It is wonderfully specced and I have seen the last video of its performance and it is looking pretty good for a proto.
I am looking forward to seeing SF^4 to actually see how Symbian has evolved.
