@ bong,
I recognised that 'seller's' website style...
Have a good, long look in this very 'similar' link:
http://www.m-99.co.uk/Mobile_[....]e_phone_twin_sim_adapters.html

Notice a few similarities with your link? The price, menus, layout, identical peripheral goods sold in their inventories,both don't give phone numbers to follow up orders/queries etc., but only THE SAME industrial estate address?

I once bought a cellphone unlocking kit from them, and was sold absolute junk! Most of the unlocking software was all wrong and some of the unlocking cables did not 'connect' with the PC at all. When I queried why the goods weren't as described and did not work properly, I had to wait ages for a very vague, unhelpful response. Emails sent by me after that after that were not even responded to. You have been warned...

Maybe you might have more luck than me, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but as far as I'm concerned: once bitten, twice shy. Buyer beware...

Anyone of you guys messed about with emulators? Well today I downloaded a GameBoy emulator...the ROMs though look and sound horrible on my phone.

Any good emulators for the P910i?

@ brix,
I've got some emulators on a P900 software disc somewhere. Not sure which emulators they are, but will try locate the disc.

Just saw the lowest price I've ever seen for a new DVD player, complete with remote for £17.97! (approx R200!)
Taken with the P900 in the supermarket tonight while Mrs. A was doing the weekly grocery shopping: (and no, it's not colossal pics again...! )

i learnt my lesson, messing about with emulators, tried the Game Boy route, as well as a few others, discovered that it ain't meant to be.

It kinda sounded cool being able to play a GameBoy title on my P910i but have to agree with da krypsta...seemingly it's not meant to be.

I never owned a GameBoy so that's probably what piqued me into getting the emulator.

@786KBR: That's bananas.

I've got that HiFi Corp broucher in front of me and they're selling a DVD for R250 and a video recorder for R299...both are as plain as vanilla.

Thought I'd post some pics, taken from my office window, of a massive fire this afternoon on the slopes of Table Mountain.

Yeah man, we're the best in the world when it comes to delusions of grandeur...I didn't watch the game last night...instead chose to view Lost on DVD, then just as I'm about to go to bed(23:30) a friend calls me about the fire snaking down the Atlantic side of Signal Hill/Devil's Peak and the possibility that several homes could go up in flames.

Here are some pictures, courtesy of my friends at capetownmagazine.com

@da wanqsta: Those are private helicopters leased by the provincial government and are in Cape Town only during the fire season.

They're quite effective when it comes to fighting mountain fires.
