That's a real shame bro. It makes me doubt the capabilities of the technicians at the various service centres. There was this once I sent my 3230 to a Nokia care centre to get something fixed, and when I got it back, some of the catches on the casing weren't done properly. Anyway, I did mention how I feel about Casino Royale in my previous post. In short, it's one long ad for Sony.

So true, Francois. I witnessed such a smash last nite, while i was waiting for a light change. Guy on a bike came zooming out of nowhere slap-bang into the back of an Astra. Turns out i know the driver, a really distraught 19year old daughter of a former colleague. What's terrible is that i stopped the moment it happened, and while trying to cross the road to get to the biker i could see him sitting up and being narrowly missed by passing cars who showed no interest in the accident nor the fact that a living breathing human being was sitting in the middle of the road. Well, we got him safely to the side of the road eventually. A doctor who lives opposite the scene came running, but fortunately nobody suffered any injuries worse than a dislocated shoulder joint. Nasty business, getting involved in a smash this time of year...

@ KBR,
I thought Casino Royale was pretty good; long casino table scenes interrupted by some interesting 'interval' scenes to keep the pace going, and one of the best chase scenes (on foot) that I've ever seen (on a construction site.) The guy performing the 'parkour'/ yamakasi urban acrobatics is brilliant.
A slightly 'darker' Bond movie, but well worth seeing...even if he rolls that beautiful Aston Martin DB9...
Yeah, a good few  phones in there.
In short, it was a far more 'realistic' Bond movie, and I'd certainly recommend it.
Daniel Craig may lack the suave demeanor of a young Sean Connery, but I thought he was bril in this Bond movie.

Iv escalated it with every person I know, sending it back on Monday, if theres one more problem Im demanding a new one!!!!

Sending back. The voda people always have a problem reassembling these new phones.
Jan this year, my W800 was sick, I only needed the firmware too. Instead the ripped the phone apart some buttons were jammed.
I demanded a replacement, the phone was only a month old at that time. I got the replacement, luckily. |

My daughter's made me promise to go and watch Happy Feet with her next week, so it's good to hear that it's worth the watch.

@ Siosal,
All the characters to make the various icons, including the one, can be found in the 'help' section of the discussion forums.
The symbol is a colon followed by se and another colon.

@ 786kbr, take that phone back. They scratched my phone when i took it in, so i instantly reported it on http://www.hellopeter.co.za and within three days i got a new phone, or the cover must have been replaced. Dude, how much money do you give vodacom a year? Demand a replacement. I would not put up with that kind of service. They make a good 5k out of me a year, so i will get my moneys worth, and they will fix their screw-ups, even if it costs them.i even refused to go drop off my phone. I told them they screwed up, they will come fetch my phone, fix it, and bring it back, and they did.the customer is always right, and thanks to hellopeter, i won:)
I wanna see open season and happy feet, and after that i will consider bond. I like my kid movies. The visuals are for the kids, but everything else is for us older ones:)

On Thursday Mrs A and I went to the local borough's Learning Centre to write the Life In The UK Test, which we needed to pass before we apply for UK Naturalisation.
http://www.lifeintheuktest.gov.uk/
Fortunately we both passed (at £34 per test). I'm sure you guys could've answered a good few of the questions too. The test is multiple choice, and done on a PC.
I had to still get the study book though; there was numerous facts and figures to learn from 3 chapters of the study book.
In other news, Ducati decided to choose SA's Kyalami for the international launch of their stunning new 1098.

@ Francois,
You can test yourself with a few sample 'Life In The UK' questions on the 'net...
Wanna try them out?
Like a glorified Learner's Licence, some of the questions are piss-easy, others require a bit more thought and knowledge, to say the least...
Here's a possible 14 questions (there a random 24 such questions for the actual 45 minute test) on The Beeb's site, it'll also let you know if you passed :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4099770.stm
A few more samples here:
Scroll down about a third of the page on this first link for the sample tests: (only about 5 sample questions in each of these tests)
