Hey, the X10 looks beautifull indeed. How is the screen compared to the iPhone's? Especially outdoors? I am still on my old N95-8gig but will switch to the N8 before the year is over And yes the soccer was nice. A pity can't see the opening game live. My tip 2:1 . . . if I only knew who get's the 2

Hope everyone of you guys are still in fine shape. Just to report that my Nokia E66 has finally died after its second time immersed in a body of liquid- the recent incident involved a cup of lager. Suffice to say I'm now using my first Blackberry. It does email and social networking pretty well. Setting up BIS was a bit of a pain though and only managed it after a couple of hours.

Mario
Topnotch.The screen is clear and crisp.In Web I have the page zoomed in really
small so the whole webpage fits on the screen and the text is astonishing readable.
Its only functioning on 65k colours at the moment until the next firmware update so
vibrancy take a bit of a knock but overall its the clearness that overides the cons.Best
display ive ever had on a phone.

Brix
Enjoy the Blackberry Brix.Keep it out of toilets and glasses of lager.

@Hobbs

Firstly, congratulations boet!!!
The screen sure looks beautiful! How's the performance of the phone, is it fast enough and smooth? How much Vodacrap branding is there?

Yeah, the team played fantastic football particularly in the second half. I thought Bernard Parker came on and was very lively and troubled the Danes with crisp and slick passes. Lovely work also by Tshabalala and Letsholonyane. Pity Steven Pienaar was marked out of the game. Great second half performance by the boys, can only get better from here on.

Regarding VODAFONE branding,just the WEB Browser.Speedwise all is good.I use Advanced Task Killer for background running activities to keep the phone running fast and smooth.So far no slowing down-lagging,freezes,crashes ect

Those are really weird flavours!!

I only buy 'Mexican chilli' and 'Salt an vinegar' from Simba, then 'Balsamic vinegar' from Simba Lays. If all three are unavailable I don't buy.

'Snoek & Atchar' and 'Vetkoek & polony'!!

What's next?

Its a Simba competition where the public had a chance to create their own flavours.
Those two made it to final four.The other two flavours are Masala Steak Gatsby and Walkie Talkie Chicken.
Just ate the Snoek and Atchar and it is fantastic.
