Cupcake is v1.5
I thought reason for the delay was to get v2.0 on board?
I would definitely wait to see what happens with SE's updates. Will they undermine their products by releasing updates late or not at all? Motorola and HTC are on the ball, SE really have no excuse.

Yeah my brother is pretty much waiting to hear whether an update will come, and whether or not the X10 will suffice as a day-to-day music player. If both turn up positive, he's getting one.
And if I'm lucky, he'll get me to buy it and send it down to him. Might get a wee play on it too haha.

Well my understanding is that Masseur is an Australian who lives mostly in the UK travelling across Europe where he works on contract for various companies doing IT support. This supplies him with the funds to purchase Vaio's and smartphones on a regular basis as well as indulge an interest in flying plus other things. I've lost count of how many similar success stories I'd heard about Kiwi's who've studied IT and taken their qualifications overseas.
That's a big improvement on lying under dashboards installing carkits or changing CV joints on Honda's, I can tell you.

Too true. My uncle had an IT job in NZ that was ok, but then he got a temporary job offer in the UK which he took. Turned out it was heaps better over there and his wife (my aunt) went over there to live with him after he got offered the position permanently. Now their youngest daughter has relocated to live in the UK (two oldest have left home) and from what I hear they're doing rather nicely.

Anyone notice that both Vodafone and Telecom no longer sell the Aino? Through their online stores at least. Weird.
Anyway, I bought a new Sony head deck for my car yesterday from Parallel Imported. Was my first time in their North Shore shop, was actually quite exciting. Saved $100 over the official Sony price too!

Yeah, I know
Sorry couldn't resist. I had seen that actually - Vodafone's SE page is looking a little depleted. Perhaps they are getting ready for the release of the X10, Vivaz, Aspen, and X10 mini?

Nice! Will you be streaming music via BT from the Aino or using a USB input slot?

Well I hope so! It will be good to finally see a bit more love for SE round here. Cant wait to see the X10 in the flesh!
I didn't get a bluetooth head deck though. I think it may have been a waste of money to be honest because I don't use my Aino for music playback. But the model I got has both a USB port and an auxiliary 3.5mm jack on the front of it so I can plug in pretty well anything. So I plug my X1000 Walkman in by the auxiliary because so I get twice the equaliser effect which sounds awesome with all my drum & bass music. Drum & bass has become a bit of an obsession for me now.

That's if their still in business by the time it comes out. It seems like Telecom are in a lot of strife at the moment, caused I suspect by many years of mismanagement.

Speaking of SE and Telecom, Vivaz is out now on XT for $999. Just a bit over-priced for my liking.

Good to see XT showing Vodafone how to release  phones in a timely fashion.
Looking at the XT plans, it doesn't pay to buy a phone from Telecom at all. The subsidies are too low and the plans can be had with no term so might as well buy from EI.

True, I don't think I'll ever buy a phone from Vodafone or Telecom again. I prefer the freedom importing gives me, along with the lower prices.
