Hi guys newish user checking in...
Good to see a Kiwi only thread on here, though the banner of what looks like a sheep herd in Waikato won't help the stereotypes lol |

Yeah I think I said something along those lines when I put that picture up 
Oh well, the sheep stereotype never hurt anyone!

K800i in Brown (Much classier than Black IMO)
Bought off trade me for $300 from some suit in Auckland - you would have sworn it had never been used - except for all the dirty pxt and text messages from his mistresses that he neglected to delete lol.
Great phone all round except for the video capture limitations |

Yeah I'm in Christchurch too mate. What area are you from?
The K800i is a nice phone. I reckon its had one of the longest lives on the NZ market ever for a mobile phone! What brought you to Esato?

HDRi = High Dynamic Range imaging
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging
Haha looks like it may be canned as an entry due to the fact that the application I used to take the 5 exposures doesn't record exif data as it owuld if it were a normal photo, but thanks anyway I'm quite stoked with it.
@Muhammed-Oli
Initially the free themes, but then I got to reading the forums and it all went downhill from there lol

Wooo! 599 GTB and a 512 BB Daytona! What event was this?
I hope you don't mind me commenting in the thread.
I don't mind, I'm only addressing the question here because the other thread takes so long to refresh!
It was the launch of the Shell 95 Octane Hi-performance petrol, V-power. You may have seen the ads on tv. It was on in Auckland and Wellington only. There was a full-size replica Ferrari F1 car, a 599 GTB, a 512M, a 360 Modena and a 355 Spyder. And two PS3 based simulators for kids to use.
Ferrari merchandise was available for purchase (keyring price was too much for me!  ), there was live music, an F1 style podium to be photographed on alongside cut-outs of Massa and Raikonen, but the biggest surprise was the two Emirates Team New Zealand 2007 Americas Cup yachts sitting nonchalently nearby...

Wish I could have gone.  The 599GTB is one of my favourite cars at the moment, and I don't think I've ever seen so many Ferraris at once! It would have been awesome!
Not so interested in the America's Cup yachts myself, but thats cause I'm a car freak.

Then you would have loved the Concours d' Elegance car show I went to in '99, the Ferrari Car club got together in force with about 34 cars. If I can find the photos I'll scan them and put them up.

Cheers mate. No pressure though, I know scanning can be a bit of a pain.
Man, creating all the official discussion threads for all the new phones was a mission and a half! Just finished putting the images and specs in.
The C905 really does look amazing. Someone said its CCD too, though I see no proof yet.

Thats OK, it gives me a chance to try my in-laws new multi-function printer; I've never tried scanning before! 
Well done on the anouncement threads, you're on-the-ball!
I've only had a chance to peruse the C905 thread, what an awesome phone! I'm lovin that! When is it available BTW?
My wife looked nervous when I said I might have to get 2 new phones.
I really like the W980 but the spec on the C905 is incredible and its good looking too! It shows SE is back to it's best! Let's hope the wait time is not too long...
