Single 3G network, lol. Atleast there are more than one networks there, right?

It's a weekender. Wanted to stop it and open a business contract and for that i'd have to pay the R1100 then R300pm there after...

LOL yeah, and Suan Lumphini in Lumphini Park in Bangkok: fresh snake blood being one of many delightful items served..

Off-topic (but still Thai-related), I can't believe that Thai billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra has fired Sven Goran Eriksson from the English Premiership club that Thaksin owns, i.e. Manchester City.
After such an impressive managerial debut season for the Swede at the club, it's caused quite a few negative ripples in the pond here, to say the least. Madness, I tell ye.


BTW, HTC's new beauties are to be launched on 6th May:

Hobbs, lmao @ cockaspaniel!! I'll bet it tastes like chicken

Has anybody else been experiencing problems with MTN? The 3G service has been ultra-shyte for the past few weeks.

Again realised how lucky were are in South Africa when I discovered not a single network in Thailand offered any sort of 3G service. I wondered why my phone was not picking up a 3G signal even though it was switched to dual mode.



GUCCI: As impressive as those specs are Hobbs is probably the only person on this side of the BEE-gravytrain divide who would love the E90...I had fantasies of this device but I was afraid I'd be betraying my working class comrades by using a weapon of the ruling class in their continued oppression:grin:


Are you using the N70? Dont they have EDGE there atleast?
great excuse, but Hobbs got a point i don't know many people with nearly half a terrabite of external HDD.

Sorry to hear that bro, im sure MTN would have it on a Procall 120 at under R380pm for free, i say that because the N95-8gb is around there lol.
Kyle
It's now WEDNESDAY (Central African Time), i'd be getting impatient. You may have to hold people at Vodashop hostage with a fake pistol till they bring your N81 ,like what that other dude did at Home Affairs for his I.D.
If we had more of those i bet service in this country would be better.

Ok,now i back Liverpool tonight,just because i think Gerard is a hell of a striker of the ball.Gucci,the more i read about the N95 8gb,the more im sold on getting one.Its the 8gb internal thats selling me.Even had a look at the N81 8gb but its specs arent up to par.I want the whole shebang.I know u can buy 8gb cards but the cost an arm and a ball lol Dying to have high speed HSDPA since I browse so much and just looking at my friends E61,16mill colour does make a difference.Never did much gaming on the P990 because it was always such a pain with the qwerty so that would be a nice change.And for workshots,2mp just is to small to get a nice shot so a 5mp would be welcomed.Also i want hip and funky and not business anymore.The P990 is alot business and not alot of fun anymore.Also lots of apps on a regular bases to check out ect 34 days and counting.Eish its going to be nightmare and the P990 is taking all the loathing.Hate it hate it hate it lol

Ye, i wish N81 had HSDPA and a slightly bigger screen.
Lol i see now, i suggest you go to Voda OR MTN and give the N95-8gb a test drive, its a sweet phone, And you will love gaming on S60, Quake, Quake2, C2Doom, Gameboy Emulators etc. . . If you want fun then get the N95-8gb, and hundreds of cracked apps.

HOBBS: Despite the stereotypes, I haven't encountered any funny cuisine. I've been eating rice almost every day for lunch and supper.
