Eish wena Siosal, why do you always have to be so difficult? I kinda like the word "gamut", I could've said a "a whole range" but then again it would not have had the effect as "gamut" which is quite descriptive.

@Brixta,the brother isn't difficult.He just needs some light on how to use the word.What does it mean by the way?
@Wanqa,Mfethu you guys have all the lekker phones that side.I kinda wonder why we Mzansi folks don't get them here.Maybe I shoud start my business of selling these xclusive phones.Cowe to think of it,l've never seen a SIDEKICK here in SA.That's not such a bad idea.

@ jmash, Yes, generally the EU is spoilt for choice,but SA has really, really caught up over the past 3 years. The SIDEKICK 2 was only made available here through T-Mobile over this past year, even though it's been available longer State-side etc.

Yeah, but I never say anything that would require me to use such a descriptive word. Like, "I was at the mall yesterday, and there was a gamut of hotties, but my cherry saw me looking, so i got a gamut of klaps"

See it's all about context chief, you can't use a word like "gamut" in such a situation. But then again I don't use fancy words like that all the time, especially not during casual conversations with friends and colleagues.

@786KBR: Ek se my broe, what do you take me for? ...I'll never spring non-English words on folks like Siosal- I've got moerse compassion for my peeps in ghettoes all over the world who are not versed in the finer ways of expressing yourself in the Queens language when forced in a corner and threatened with life.
On a serious note, it's quite weird( I'd say good) how we've become less British with our English accents...just looking at the likes of Michael de Morgan presenting the news on the old SAUK( via YouTube) one got the feeling that somehow apartheid South Africa, especially broadcasters, had a fond attachment to the British Empire and replicating the accents of the BEEB broadcasters.
Any special gifts you guys are expecting in your socks? Doesn't seem like I'll be getting the W850i for myself barring some kinda miracle.

roflmgdao! Sitting here at Spur having their delicious coffee, and i'm pissing myself laughing at "gamut of klaps"! Oh man, Sio, you made my day, broer!
As mentioned, too many folks dying on the roads. I'd love to see a festive season with zero fatalities in my lifetime... I have a radio scanner which i use during those moments of abject boredom, so i get to hear all the nasty things which don't always make it to the papers. It picks up police, ambulance, fire dept frequencies, and its genuinely scary how negligent people are during the festive period.
On a lighter note, Mrs.K is now using a 6680 and has discovered the joys of Symbian. I'm finding it difficult to pry her away from it these days

Ok.
The W850s are again Branded but worst now, Voda has unbranded handsets with Branded software, so to end the call you have to press the back button and to view your calls you have to press the internet button.
I wonder whos behind all these stupid ploys!!! |

@786KBR: It can only be Vodacrap who would come up with anything as silly as that. I mean how do you explain to customers that they have to use the "back" button to end their calls. If I do buy one it's probably going to be an unbranded model.

Hi Guys!!!
I'm still alive, just been a bit scarce.
So I'm sitting here bored outa my skull at work when I decided to download some freebies on SE.
I came across Music Mate, the app where you can play/ construct your own music. Then I remembered that some time ago one of you guys asked out it and where you can find it. (not the Music DJ app that comes with the W810i).
Also not sure if someone answered the question yet for whomever asked it. (Think it was Francois that asked)
Well, I found it on wap.sonyericsson.com. Click on SE and this will take you to fun and downloads. All free, but I'm sure most of ya'll know this by now.
Its under aplications. (You also have to register if you not registered)
Hope this little bit of (late) information is of help.
To all of you, have a very safe and wonderful festive season!!!
