Series levelled at 2-2.Sunday is going to be a cracker.
Wangs has your Misses got the Mini or Mini Pro?
Does it have the latest 2.1 Update 1 firmware?
All I can say is that phone is damn fast.
Its a pleasure to use.

We wrapped up that final ODI international very unconvincingly.At least we won the series.At one stage I was quite concerned with the power hitting that was going down.

Went to Vodashope today to enquire about the Arc and as per norm the lady I was speaking to didn't know what in the world I was talking about. She asked another guy who gave the standard 'we are waiting on Sony Ericsson'.
Sometimes Vodashop makes me mad! I really want this phone and I can't wait, looking forward to using a current Sony Ericsson phone that feels like the old SE. I don't care what Samsung and HTC come up with at MWC cause this is the first SE phone that is balanced in every way. They can keep their dual core processor for now.
The V8 is on its way to the drawer to join the Bold. I'm also contemplating upgrading to the Blackberry Dakota next year on my second contract cause it is exactly what the P1i is. Having the 9700 has taught me to be tolerant of Blackberry's dull approach to mobile phones so I'm sure I will tolerate the Dakota. If, however, SE comes up with a 2011 P1i in Android that appeals to me then screw Blackberry.
I have realized that I can't do without SE's excellent user experience and I would rather stay with them than move especially now that they have got their act together.

Funny thing is i have not yet got my hands on any of the XPERIA Minis. A phone i like that i only recently got to use was the Aino, if i wasn't into smartphones that would have been my phone now, very beautiful and well built.

I actually thought about you when you wrote that had you known that the Galaxy would've been such a good phone you would've gone for it instead of the X10. The reason was that I was offered the SGS for my Bold by my sister's husband last week. I turned it down cause I hoestly can't stand Samsung and LG. I don't see myself getting any of those brands in my life.
I know Samsung are more than likely to come up with a super phone at MWC along with HTC but they just don't get my pulse racing. I must say I'm looking forward to Nokia's Meego flagship, something tells me we are in for a mega phone. Nokia's about to turn on the screws on other manufactures I feel.

i was realy unhappy with SE when i wrote that, but what ive realised is that the Galaxy-S is actualy a very buggy and troublesome phone, just to get it to run properly many have had to turn to custom ROMs and patchs.
I agree, wouldn't get a SAMSUNG or LG and even a HTC, as highly speccd as they are i just cant see myself with them. I do wish though that Motorola had brought the Droid X here, ive had my eye on it since it was released, if SE dont make a dual-core Android, i'd take a Moto one.
Also looking forward to the MeeGo Nokias, although Eldar just keeps giving negative feedback about them i hope its not too Android-wana-be, i liked the Maemo5 UI in the N900, i hope it@s a lot like that.

I was so close to installing Froyo 2.2.1 on my X10, only thing stopping me is that the current Beta3 ROM doesn't support video recording which i use alot, hopefuly the next release has it. I like this whole xRecovery method since using it to install JIT. Here's the guide to install Froyo Beta3 for X10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908791

Yeah, the Moto Droid X was the one that made decide to go full touch. I was set on getting that till Moto decided it wasn't for SA. Then came the perfect P1i replacement in the Droid Pro and again Moto decided the Americans were the only one getting it. I'm slowly giving up on Moto being serious about us.
I have stopped taking Eldar the lunatic seriously. He has proven to be an idiot of note too many times. He crushed the N8's camera and we know how that turned out, he provided completely false info on his Arc preview and again was proven wrong. There are too many glaring inaccuracies in a lot of his information that it would be foolish to believe anything he writes.
I also hope that Nokia don't deviate too much from Maemo and try and be a copy cat of Android. I loved Maemo as well, remember how I wished and pleaded for Nokia to bring out an E71 type Maemo device? I thought and still think that Maemo was just wonderful and with time would be exceptional, I just wonder how much of inroads will the OS make in the face of such fierce competition in the form of iOS and Android.
