Good stuff carkitter. Nice to see that topic has become a Sticky, really helpful!

Actually I requested that for two reasons:
1) So the thread wouldn't get quickly lost which would negate the point of creating it.
2) To inspire other Esatonians to create similar threads for other countries.
Fortunately the wish was granted.
It's that thread's one year anniversary (and 2 Degrees 1st Birthday too) so I thought it should get a little spruced up. Unfortunately I don't have your talent with HTML...
I plan to refine it more and more as we approach RWC 2011.

That's a good idea! In fact, feel free to copy and paste any of my layout that you want, then add your own pictures or backgrounds. I have no problem with that.

The Zylo now available on Vodafone for $150. Not too bad although it is very low end!

$150 on their most popular plan.
$249 handset only.
Looks like a  205 replacement.
Apparently Android is going great guns in the US. If this success is repeated in Europe then  and Nokia can expect to see the feature-phone market disappear totally and replaced with low end smartphones like the X10 Mini. It's about time Nokia got with the programme and signed on to Android.

Oh my bad. Didn't see the 'on our most popular plan'.
Yeah I was just thinking last night how Nokia are so far out of the picture without Android and Windows Phone 7. Symbian/Maemo just isn't going to win them any popularity. The only people I still see with Nokias are people that don't care and Arab/Indian people.

Anytime you want. I'm surprised that that Oli's been up here all year and I still haven't managed to pin him down to a meet 'n greet.  It's not for want of trying.
Good to see that have finally figured out a way to get everyone's favourite rumour to become a reality. Now all they need is a Froyo update for Rachael and life will be perfect again for fans.

Well I'm sure we would have had that meet and greet if you lived a bit closer still! I'm keen to have a beer with you guys for sure, but there are very few of us left on here. It will be a very small meet up!

You're right. Last year I was 10 mins away, this year I'm 40 mins across town.
We have 18 on the NZer list, 12 of whom are Aucklanders and another 4 in other parts of the North Island. If we send PM's to everybody, that should trigger an email that'll notify members we haven't seen for a while, assuming they have email notifications set.

Looks like they're not even trying anymore with the Vodafone branding. They used to make it fit in somewhat, but that just looks awful.

It does look awful and worst of all, it places quite a limitation on usable theme options. The red is quite dark in contrast to the white icons and that means that background images would have to contrast with both colours simultaneously without being too jarring or distracting. Alternatively, a red background image could be used to 'hide' the icons... 
I find that with so many shortcut options and the toolbar, I seldom see the menu icons anyway.

I always liked going through the menus on my SE phones because I liked to see the colourful icons and the theme I had chosen. Can't say I'd do that if I had a Zylo! Shortcuts it would have to be.

X10a now available on Telecom for $999, the same as Vodafone. Black too, I was hoping the white would show up so I could have a look. Guess not!
