So Vodacom sent a driver to come fetch my phone. Got a Nokia 1100 as replacement this time. They better hurry this time, I am not sitting without my phone for another week again. If things work out nicely then I will comment on Vodacom doing well, if not, the name of Vodacom will have mud flung at it. So far, I am impressed.

For people who arent obsessed with throwing their cash around, buying a car new is really just a waste of R50k. If you look through Auto Freeway there're usually at least 1 or 2 good buys.
I wrote my Art exam today... I swear, i've never flipped through fewer notes prior to an exam in my life! Luckily it went somewhat smoothly and my skills at making a decent argument can disguise my lack of facts. But i doubt that's an A... and if it aint... and if I dont get my A aggregate... I can forget about having a lekker 2007:(

@786KBR: That Subaru is a Kenyan registered second-hand import from Japan...they're pretty common in African countries where brand new cars are too expensive for the locals. Like the wanqsta rightly says, getting spare for those vehicles are a bitch and a pretty expensive exercise.
When in Durban last year I saw a lot of imported vehicles for sale at ridiculous prices...like R15 000 for a 10 year-old 1600.

Hi guys. Having trouble at work so i'm not posting that much. I have a quick question. Is there a java app to allow you to view pdf and doc files on standard mobile phones (similar to the samsung picsel viewer) available? If not why not? Thanks.

@Siosal: Dunno of any 3rd party apps that allows you to view common office documents.
Anyone using Internet Explorer 7? Right now I'm using Firefox 2 and I'm pretty impressed with some of the features.

Damn, this day has been much too busy, hardly had a chance to even look at a phone, much less venture online.
@Psycho, hang in there, sis. I've had a few of those papers myself, and from experience i know it's pointless stressing over it...
@A.Mawanqa  Many many thanx for the package, mate, received it an hour or so ago 
I'm already trying to decide which lanyard looks best with which phone Your generosity hasn't gone unnoticed. May your cows grow fat and sleek, and your wives bear many fine sons

I haven't been in any real rush to download IE7 yet; I use my ISP's browser, AOL, most of the time.
So the cricket didn't go our way.
Congrats to Chris Gayle et al on a stellar performance in the Champions Trophy semi-final today.
EDIT:
@ Kryptik, LOL, I'm thrilled that it made it to eBhayi intact, swaer. Enjoy. 
Hope the others arrive safely as well.

Surely it can't be that hard to create a java app that allows you to view office docs? It's a shame picsel don't sell their standard viewer as a seperate app.
Well if anyone hears anything.... |

Great to see Mrs Balls stocked and readily available at Tesco superstores here, amongst mainstream stuff.
Taken with the P900's basic cam:
Must've looked like some nutter, taking a pic of condiments with a smartphone!

Downloaded the gmail app this evening and it works perfectly on my N70...The interface is smooth and easy to navigate, you can even use the search function. My built-in email client has just been rendered useless

An interesting mention was just made on the radio that today is World Internet Day, and one of the things mentioned was that the university town of Grahamstown holds the honour of being the first place in the country to link up.
"It's world internet
day on Friday and for most people it's almost impossible to
imagine life without it.
We depend on it for
communication via e-mail, for carrying and transferring triple play data with ease and efficiency and for research,
recreation and task
convenience.
An entire language has developed in our daily speech that refers to and originates solely from the advent of this tool and it is inconceivable that
one could compete on any kind of business platform without a firm grasp on it.
South Africa's first internet connection was established in
Grahamstown between Rhodes
University and the Portland Oregon home of writer Randy
Bush in 1988."
