Everyone should read this bit from Lolly Jackson's biography which published next week.
@francois: It's very confusing because he says he's getting it de-branded through Vodacare.

ROLMAO @ Honest Lolly's...he's the same guy who broke the national speed record when he was caught doing 250km/h in his Lamborghini Gallardo last year...his excuse to the traffic officers: "I was late for church". A true classic.
@Siosal: I suspect jiteshraj has got some mafia connections to have his phone flashed with generic firmware at VodaCare.

It's almost two years since we've had 3G, I've had a 3G phone for the the last five months and as documented on this thread made my first video call some weeks back with some assistance from a helpful chap at Vodacom customer care.
Was just wondering, how many of you guys with 3G phones have actually made a video call?
Last week I was in the locker room at the gym with a few naked guys running about when I got a video call from my ex gf... told her where I was and she almost fell off over giggling...thankfully the conversation was short.

LOL, that must've been hilarious.
I have to admit that despite all manner of video-calling phones available nowadays, I have yet to make a video call or own a video-calling-capable phone.
I still have the 3G Nokia 7600, but this does not have video calling. Maybe my next phone will have...

I have made one so far, and that was at the airport with some friends who was there with me. Was great, cos i could see the delay and all.
We went out straight after work last night. What a hectic night! Played pool for awhile, till i got bored, then i watched an episode of house. At one stage we sat at the bar and some promo people for brutal fruit came in, got free brutals,lemon flavour. It is a girls drink. Tastes too much of cordial lime. The one promo chick was quite hot.
Anyway, at that stage my one friend had an offer from two clients secretaries, they wanted us to go to sun city, because they wanted company. They were hot, single and ready. It was the devil i tell you! We so wanted to go, but decided against it in the end despite the sexy mms they sent.
So then we went to the other side of the city to go visit a colleague whos gf broke up with him and ended going for lebanese chicken. Then home to watch tv.what a wild night. What did you guys do?

Had a great time at my fave restaurant with the better half and my nephew. (He returns to SA next month, and we're sure gonna miss him. His 2-year holiday working visa is up soon. He has done so well here to pay for his own university costs in SA.)
The restaurant is called Aroma, and has a fantastic buffet (mostly Chinese dishes). It reminds me a lot of The Boma in Jozi, although not as thematic.
If you wanna romantic dinner, forget Aroma. If you wanna just experience the joys of food, it's the place. It takes a good 45-50 minutes deeper into Essex just to get there (it's in Basildon), but it's just so worth it. (well for us, anyway.)

Well, i had the CT scan done yesterday, followed by an IVP (they make you drink some barium followed by a shot of iodine into the veins). Gotta see the doc on Monday afternoon again, so i've been sent home for the weekend, thank goodness.
One of my best friends came around last nite sporting an N91, quite an improvement on his 3650.
I met an Englishman yesterday who told me a good joke- Jake White and his wife get invited to a fancy dress ball... The wife goes as Cinderella and he goes as a pumpkin, the theory being that when it strikes midnite, he may turn into a coach 
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious. |

@ Kryptik,
Glad they deemed it OK for you to go home for the w/end. Good luck on Monday, boet.
This is something I shoulda bought ages ago. After looking at loads of specs about  Bluetooth headsets (including the Akono range (Hayi-khona range?  ) and Nokia's new offerings, I eventually settled for the tiny new Jabra JX10.
If you look at the size of the ear-hook in comparison to the rest of the headset, you get some idea just how small the thing is.
Specs, design and size were the key factors for choosing this one. It is beautifully made, nice attention to detail and even that desktop charger looks snazzy.
It's on charge at the mo, so we'll see how it performs this week.
However, there's no way I'm wearing any BT headset apart from when I'm driving or flying the radio-controlled planes... it just looks incredibly sad (socially retarded?) seeing people wear BT headsets in shopping malls etc. (IMO )
