Sigh, only the warped minds at McFarlane could come up with Christmas figures like these:

Indeed Wanqs, a shame they now have to depend on Google, as Nokia just isnt doing much for Maemo. Great ice and snow pic btw!

Hobbs, it seems there's no way to root it other than to install it pre-rooted, check here how to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885956 i dont need root access so i havent tried this yet.

Tsepz Thanks.I saw that link.Thought maybe there was another method (that XDA X10 forum has become an eyesore.Its in such a mess imo.)
Can do without it for the time being.Typefresh and Barnicle will have to wait
Keyboard improvements on this update is most welcome though.Its almost perfect now.

Wangs I saw a bank statement once in one of my clients bins for the purchase of a helli and lets just say there was more zeros that I would have liked.Think I'll dream of one from Reggies.

LOL, I used to work at Reggies as a casual when I was in Std 9 and 10, then during the 4 years of studying after that.

My first pic on PaintPad on the Nokia 5800, very basic Rolf Harris-esque type silhoutte. The reflections aren't all right, etc, but we'll keep playing with it. Obviously nothing fancy or special, just trying it out:

Thanks boet, it's not the easiest to do super-fine detail and perfect lines on a screen that size.

So India strike back with the cricket...gotta get yourself to Newlands, Hobbster.

Would you believe that England have retained The Ashes today!

As the pics below will testify, methinks they should stick to cricket rather than trying any reality programmes like 'So You Think You Can Dance'....
Or maybe it's just a gay version of The Haka, I dunno...LOL:





It's actually the iconic 'Sprinkler Dance'.

I'd like to see their rendition of The Village People's YMCA song now, please..

So we boarded the Premier Classe train late afternoon yesterday, just for the record if you are expecting a Blue Train type trip then forget it you may be rather disappointed as we were but still enjoying the trip, we just left Beatfort West station an hour ago, should be in Cape Town in the next 5-6hours. Quite amazing how great cell reception can be out here, its actualy annoying as im getting EDGE speeds that are almost as good as HSDPA speeds at home .

Hope you're all enjoying the last day of 2010! Woza 2011!
