What gets to me is when a paticular app needs updating multiple times a week, at some point WhatsApp had updates almost daily, recently Flash Player has been getting updates often and so has AdFree.

Gola
you know!

Yep, its already available with Vodacom for around R249pm, seems they've discontinued the original Arc, lol, yep im seeing it hit around +R5500 cash but being an SE the price will eventualy drop to much less than that.

Thanks for that link, shouldnt be too long now until it hits our networks. Can you believe the new MOTOROLA RAZR is already available at Voda??? Got their new catalogue, its going for R269pm Business Call just like the N9, i cant believe how quickly Moto got this thing here after announcement, im actualy very keen on it.

The XL is a disaster IMO, it uses outdated hardware (same CPU as Desire HD), a huge 4.7" display with a lower res than the XE at 800x480, and as you pointed out no mem expansion, HTC literaly took the Titan, through Android in it and splashed a new paint job on it.

Samsung Galaxy Note is available at Voda, just R379pm on Business Call, arent you tempted?

Best you do that Hobbs, theres a lot of tempting deals in Voda right now.

I want to hold the Sensation XE in my hand and then ill decide, im even tempted to follow Dups and jump on the RAZR, so until ive tried them the jury is still out, if they dont do it for me then ill pass up the upgrade, i also want to see how my X10 holds up with the new batt as that is part of the reason why i may want to make the jump in December.

Well, I am up for an upgrade in March so I am glad they brought the Razr sooner than they promised, they told me it'll be here in December/January.

@Tsepz_GP

To be honest, the only Benz I would be willing to spend my money on would be the S600, I am jsut in love with that car. That is the only Mercedes I love. The C63 AMG is no match for the driving pleasure of the M3, heck even the RS4 drives better than the AMG competitor.

I seems, however, that Mercedes are fast catching up with the M-division cause their new E63 AMG is driving more like the M5 but the new M5 is more subdued yet powerful. It just looks like the tables have turned with regard to the E63 AMG and M5.

No doubt about it, the C63 handling leaves much to be desired, its just that power on a straightline is incredible, would even pick up a 1series M over it.

Never thought id hear that from you Hobbs, ive seen it a few times in sandton these past few days and each time i pass the voda store i think to myself its a huge a phone but that display is drool worthy.

hell yes!




So, it's Hobbs searching for a new phone again.

As for me, I was informed by Voda that I can upgrade in mid-December of this year. I am going to play with the phone some time next week and see what to expect. For some strange reason, something tells me to wait till MWC next year, meaning I will have to wait till the end of my contract in March. I am not really having second thoughts but just curious to see what is coming up the horizon.

@Tsepz_GP

That 6.3l engine of the AMGs is brutal in straight line, if and only if AMG can sort out the cornering then the AMG-tuned cars would beat even the M cars.

Hobbs, get it get it GET IT hehe

Indeed, they must also sort out the interior, Mercs have the most bland looking interior ive ever seen.

I was also thinking of waiting for MWC, but the XE and those Dre Beats look perfect for me, the more i read the more i want lol.
