@amawanqa great what show was it?? I once went to a tech show there it was when the Ericsson T39 first came out. Ages ago. @Tsepz_GP yes GS2 serving me well as is the white Xperia Play  I much preferred it to the black one due to nicer look and less finger print smudges. Got the Play for 149 sim free also got the dock too. The Play is my back up device.

Oh deary me.When I plug the X10 into my PC and netbook Im getting the dreaded 'USB Device Not Recognized.' notification.Therefore can't tether,access SD card or charge.
Plugged into a wall socket it charges fine.
Ever heard of this? If so,do you have a solution or a fix.
Going to try my boss's USB cable at work and see if its not just a faulty cable.
Heres hoping.

Glad you enjoying the MAC.Must be nice to have a breather from Windows.I do it every now and again with Ubuntu or one of the other Linux distros.
Most open source software are'nt that sweet on the eye but in most cases does a better job.
An example is the music player that comes pre-installed with Ubuntu.Looks absolutely bare but audio quality wise blows software like Winamp and Windows Media Player out the water.
Thumbs up for VLC.

Thats great news! The Xperia Play is a sweet phone, tried one few weeks ago also in White and i liked it, i like it in both colours, couldnt decide between the two. I love how good the Play feels in hand, it was truely built to be held for long periods of time, and its UI is very smooth, both it and the XPERIA Arc S i tried were great made my X10 feel a bit dated.

I havent heard of or had that issue, the only USB problem i know of is what we had with the port failing at charging and randomly disconnecting, must be the the cable or maybe the laptop's port?
By the way how is your X10's batt since you tether a lot with it? I think my old batt expanded due to too much tethering which caused it to heat up a lot, so now im not going to tether much with this new one.

Yip, I totally get what you are saying. I got to play with the ipad some more whilst it wasn't in its case and its super portable and awesome to hold. And ofcourse it looks great, i just hate covering beautiful gadgets.
I'd want one just for fun.

 I didn't even bother finding out about the concert date, i'm super broke. I wasn't all that keen anyway, but wouldn't mind going. You heard Weezy's latest Paranormal Activity mixtape yet, I prefer it over Drake's new album. I dunno, Drake just sounds repetitious for me...
Oh, and another cool kid on the block, Diggy Simmons...i hope he makes it, unlike Asher Roth whose prediction of success i kind of over shot...

Glad you found the problem, the cable must be warn.
Gola
same, and Golden Circle sold-out, no way im going if im not in golden as you can hardly see the person on stage which isnt worth it IMO.
Havent heard that mixtape yet.
Only track im digging in Drakes album is Make Me Proud featuring Nicki Minaj, ive had it on repeatfor a while now, but yeah Drake is repetitive, he's dope but i cant say his my favourite or the best, i hope he can actualy constantly reinvent himself like Jay-Z and Kanye do, speaking of Jigga what do you think of his prodigy, J.Cole? Not sure if he has lasting power, loving every song his on right now though.
Yeah, Diggy looks promising, i liked his track Copy,Paste ,hope he sticks around and doesnt just fade, what happened to his brother Jojo's group, Team Blackout or whatever? thought they would have something big by now.
Wow, Asher Roth, totaly forgot bout him, true one hit wonder there lol, also Mike Posner, he's also gone rather quiet.

Did you guys read about all the Carrier IQ stuff embedded in various smartphones, mainly Android, Apple n' HTC phones?
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/30/smartphone_spying_app/
Nokia have apparently retaliated by stating that none of their phones have Carrier IQ running on them..
@ Bono,
It was 'Motorcycle Live! 2011' that I attended at the NEC.

Its shocking stuff Wanqs, but im no longer bothered, our smartphones come with GPS chips, Cameras and Internet, governments/networks/manufacturers were bound to take advantage using two of those mainly (GPS and net) to show usage, and location.
Dups
Seems waiting may pay-off for you in the end: http://m.pocketnow.com/androi[....]zr-refresh-with-larger-battery

It has.Got it first thing this morning.Can't wait to finish work and get home.Got the white one.Some advise Tsepz,don't let them put the two colours in front of you to choose from cause you'll be walking out there with a white one.

Thanks guys.Looking forward to switching it on in 1 hours time.
Tsepz You were kinda a catalyst in this whole thing.You started talking about taking your moms upgrade in December.I blame you.Made it hard for me to wait another 8 months.
X10 sold.Can you believe I got R2800 for it.
In the end the Note was just to large for me.
