Wow... That phone looks really tiny, a bit like the iPod shuffle. Anyway, take good care of your health Kryptik bro, stick to that herbal tea and avoid unhealthy food. Still having my exams, will be over in 3 days, but it seems like forever. I'll probably be trying to get back my part-time job at Sony Gallery during the holidays. Don't feel like working too hard though, so will try to get a 4-day week if I can.
Just out of curiosity, why is medusa's post count always at one? Is it cos posts in the Regional forums do not add to post count and she only ever posts here? Just curious.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

roflmao @ the pregnant guy!! That's a brilliant story!!
Speaking of things which are unique to SA, some of us (like me) would see the humour in this picture-  (@Deluded, when viewed upside down it spells out a particularly rude Afrikaans word which is used in many contexts).
Speaking of toilet paper printed with the face of Paris Hilton, there's a lady up in Gauteng who can do the same type of printing on toilet paper and tissues for a mere R20 per roll.

@ mario,
LOL, 'cos no one else wants 'em.  (jokes)
Ah, smartphones other than Nokia...
I had an opportunity to fiddle around with both phones at the Smartphone Show, and I can't say I was blown away by either.

I really miss the back-and-forth of the thread..At my old job I used to post throughout the day now I'm lucky if I can post anything during business hours.
@deluded: Where are from? Do you have any link with South Africa?
If any of guys are on myspace add me or better still check out my page...myspace.com/sputla
Awesome day in Slaapstad but I didn't enjoy much of it as I was either doing my job or stuck in traffic.
@bradboy: Mfana, I'm heading out to Durban for three days around Christmas to attend a friend's wedding (black peeps spend their 13th cheques on cars and weddings:grin: ) so we to hook up, last yr I was to busy running around in your crazy city.

@da krypsta: Grootman, right now life is hectic indeed...It's almost the end of the year and I can't even take a properly holiday...in the same breath I should say that I enjoy my work immensely for the satisfaction it provides me.
I need to sleep...past midnight.

Ja nee, it's definitely 'quieter' without da brixsta being able to drop in here during 'office hours' like he used to.
@ brixster,
What ever happened to SA's Qeo Wireless Q500 smartphone from 3-odd (I think) years ago?

Hey all!
My name's Günther, i'm a 20 year old male from East London.
I've just finished my second year of college, studying systems engineering at Damelin.
On moday i signed a contract to work for Dimension Data as a on site Support Engineer for Walter Sisulu University EL and i start on friday.
I'm currently using an embarrasement of a phone(if you can call it a phone) the Siemens S55 and i'm waiting patiently for Vodacom to finish network testing the w950.

@da wanqsta: Simple really, Q Wireless went bust before their first phone came out. I still remember talking to one of the big honcho's and he was making a song and dance about SA's first smartphone but the OS was sketchy and the services envisioned were a bit ahead of their time. They tried to sell their ideas to the two networks and no-one would bite and venture capital wasn't coming in so they had to call it quits. If you do an image search under my real name you might find a picture and article on the particular phone.
@kitsune: Welcome to the thread. It will take a massive adjustment going from the S55 to a 4Gig monstrosity that is the W950...why not ease yourself in with basic smartphones like the P910 or 6680
