Wow that's quite a flood! Did it damage your house or anything? How long would it take for that to clear?

Just noticed Expert Infotech has the T303 listed for $199.
I didn't know that was available yet.

Here's a few shots of my C902 and the box and a few comparison shots with my W910i:
Cheers.

Very cool!
It's got that new menu style that the W980 has... what do you think of it?

about the flood: the water doesn't matter much, its just in the paddocks, the house is on the top of a hill
about the fone: looks good do you mind the screen being smaller. thats the one feature I don't like about the c902

Thanks guys.
@carkitter: Yeah I purposely tried to capture the menu for that shot. I don't use it though. You have the choice of three different menu styles: The original, the one in the picture, and one that shows only one icon at a time and you scroll up and down. But I find that I'm so used to the original that if I have a different one set, I go into the menu and wonder what the hell is wrong with my phone!  So they are a nice additional feature, but not as good as the usual menu.
@yea g: I worried about that before I got the phone, especially cause I was coming from the large 2.4" of the W910i, but I shouldn't have been worried. The thing is that the C902's screen is just as bright, and it has the exact same QVGA resolution, so while I'm using it I don't even notice its smaller. Some photos of the phone that I've seen make the screen look smaller than it actually looks when you see one in reality. It doesn't look small at all when you have it.
I'm glad your house wasn't ruined by the flood! That would have been such a pain to deal with!

Well I'd have the carousel style menu set in any C902 or W980 I owned but like you I probably wouldn't use it either as I use the Activity Menu to do EVERYTHING on my V640i and the V630i before it. I add all the functions I regularly use to the My Shortcuts (Alarms, Keylock, BT, Notes, Themes, Weather App) and from the Standby screen the ^ is open Opera Mini, V is Phonebook, < is Calendar, > is Email Inbox, which just leaves pressing the Middle button twice for Txt. With dedicated buttons for the Camera and Media Player, I seldom see the much maligned Voda menu icons...

Yeah true. I have < set as Write New as is the standard with an SE phone, ^ set as Messages so I have easy access to Inbox, Sent Items or Drafts when I need them, I have > set as calendar, and V set as Phonebook. I don't use the activity menu much except for turning silent mode or bluetooth off and on.
So I'd still see more of the menu than you to get to games or my pictures and music, etc.

Yeah of course, while on the standby screen. But I'm not always sitting on the standby screen. Up late carkitter?

Yeah, Vodafone suddenly decided their website didn't need to support Opera anymore and I've been scratching my head trying to work out why I was logged out. The penny dropped today and I've been on the Opera Community site asking for help. Those guys at Opera really are legends. They build an excellent, customisable, easy to use, do everything Browser and then when a website locks you out they add a button where you can open IE7 within Opera... Is there no end to their talents! I've asked that they do some promotion in NZ/Oz because so few people down here have even heard of Opera Mini and Opera Desktop Browser.
And I had to find an amr to mp3 converter to make use of the audio file I recorded today when our team conducted an interview as part of our first Professional Skills for IT Practioners assignment. Found a really good one here, quick and simple to use.
'bout time I hit the hay actually.

Did you get your Opera/Vodafone problems sorted out? Yeah they really need to promote Opera more. I had never heard of it before I came on Esato.
