Indeed they did, and athough we scored the highest ever reply at the SCG,we were still 57 runs short... 
Yeah,our bowling attack was well and truly punished. Again.
It's do-or-die against Sri Lanka on Tuesday if SA wish to reach the best-of-3 finals... |

Was looking at the Motorola L6 which available through Cell C and even though it looks nice the features are piss poor even K700 has better specs.
Btw, the price is R1500.

@petropod: Welcome to the SA thread. Don't stress too much, the phone is being launched here soon. SE quietly launched the W550 without any fanfare on Vodacom in December, doubt they'll do it for the W900.

typical of south africa's 56k service....i can connect to the net via bluetooth and then onto GPRS w/my w800i (not new news i know, but certainly easier than with any other phone i've ever tried!) - for way faster than my normal dialup. running speeds of 115kbps, which i know is nothing to speak of compared to the ADSL users, but after years of a 56k connection running at 32.2kbps, it's a helluva improvement!
btw, anyone else on voda notice that GPRS connectivity is currently completely and utterly free? downloads included? just wonderind when they'll notice and decide to back-charge me!

most definitely! noticed it in dec, and thought it was just another nice christmas special from voda (like their 300 sms bundle), and then on into jan, so i figured it was a two month thing (also like the sms's) but it's still going! not complaining at all though! i know it's free coz i'm online via my GPRS conn. right now!

@xbz: Thanx for sharing that with us, hadn't noticed that I was not being billed...wait, let me download some movies for my phone before they start charging again...on a serious note, I doubt their 1000s of sw engineers would miss the fact that subs were not being charged for gprs when it's such an important revenue stream.
Will test to confirm later but I have my doubts.

The official unofficial news concerning the free wap/web over 3G and GPRS is that in preperation of 3G(HSDPA), AND in preperation of challenging telkom with cheap web solutions, vodacom are "Giving" free wap to see if the network can handle the stress of huge data amounts... this however may be either true or 100% false, but lets hope for the latter. That is info from someone at vodacom tech dept.

Did the Proteas just lose another vital game?

Yes they did...I eventually switched the TV off and went to bed to get a few hours' sleep, rather than completely subject myself to another woeful SA batting performance.
