Havent had a look at the Dakota, do you have a link to an image or forum topic? I must say,i dig the look of the Torch, if that just had the same hardware as the X10 i'd be wanting one.

Nice! Lets hope he helps out, X10 still has so much left in it, Froyo has proved that.

LOL, just the other day i was thinking how i miss the sometimes heated debates between boinng, Whybe, synn, Dogmann etc... that happened here at Esato, until today when i logged into Mobile-Review Forums: http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=97698 now that Symbian and WM are done, its now WP vs. Android, Dogmann being his errm... "unique" self got the gigantic Dell Streak so he's repping the droids, synn on the other hand had/has a Milestone and was simply not impressed by Android from the very beginning it seems and so is repping Windows, it seems they've had many run-ins, im reading through a few right now the one ive posted above is the most recent.

Just read that synn vs Domain head to head and its drivel. Glad I'm not in that headspace. Sony and Android don't give a Shit about me so they will never see me waste my words over them in a heated debate. Love the design of my X10. Android is the OS for me at this present moment in time. End of my story. What's your story Tsepz? lol

Hope you having fun in Italy Wanga.

i just found it hilarious, but i do enjoy reading or participating in a good debate as long as we stick to facts and not get emotional and start throwing insults, i often learn a lot about things through reading or participating in them, but the above was just shocking and hilarious, both parties are so full of knowledge and are so informative but they let each other's personal feelings get in the way and they end up looking like two spoilt kids crying cause they arent getting things their way.
As for my X10,im loving it more than ever, Android's openess and the great hardware in the X10 make it so sweet, i actualy see no point in getting a new phone this year, especialy with Android2.3 being cooked up at XDA for the X10.

XDA update Tsepz
Geohot responded saying hes heard about X10 bootloader problem and will go buy one and see what he can do.
Some guy responds saying he has an upgrade and will donate he's phone to Geohot.
Geohot responds saying he's already bought one.
This might all just be pie in the sky but if its not and is indeed true we are in for exciting times.
Crack that bootloader biatch! Mr Hotz lol

Just got back from Bologna, the home of Ducati Motorcycles and er...spaghetti bolognese, LOL. Yup, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had both the P1i and 5800 with me, and used both to take these pics:

Bologna's famous Two Towers. It was 498 steps to reach the top of the taller one...check how much the smaller one is listing! (Forget the Leaning Tower of Pisa,LOL). The views over Bologna from the top made all the climbing worthwhile (pics all taken with the 5800):

More 5800 pics around Italy:

Macro mode:



A really, really crap quality pic, but I enjoyed the play on words of this restaurant:



Some of the elongated, concertina-type buses were electric powered, as you can see by the overhead cables:
