There just wasn't any development happening for the Smart Tab.Just to root the bloody thing I had to really dig deep to find a method and when I did it was extremely complicated.CWM recovery was all at alpha stage  Missed my HP Netbook.
Boss's brother is visiting CT on Friday.Bringing with him his spanking new Galaxy Note.Needs me to sit down with him and educate him on the ins and out of the Android OS. (he had a Blackberry). I'm kinda jealous (the only phone now that I am kinda envious of is the Note) but lets see how I feel after a couple hours with it.I still think size-wise its a no-no for me.

Hi Falcon.I have an upgrade on Monday.Don't think I'm gonna bother upgrading.Contract terminates in September so I'll hold back and see.This G2 is most probably gonna go the distance.Will be the first time ever that I've managed to keep one phone throughout its two year contract.Its not that I'm losing my passion for cellphones, its just that I've got a phone now that after almost a year is still impressing the sh#t out of me.Found a rom that is a keeper (MIUI) and its fantastic because they release an update every Friday.Happy as Larry with my G2.
Note,One X,Lumia 800 and Xperia S......  I'm afraid your wifey is right.You nuts bro  Not.
Yeah dont bother the best contracts out now anyway are the cell c straight up packages and then buy your phone cash or through fnb......that way you'll beat any offer by any network.
Yeah the fetish has just gotten worse lol I've added the s3 to the mix but for some reason not loving it so much over an s2...the htc one x is the king for now IMO due to the sense ui and slightly better screen and feel when holding phone in hand.

 WOW! Thats insane, even if i had the cash, id probably have the GS3 for personal with a Galaxy Note10.1 tablet and then a BB Torch for work (if at all necessary), lol.
Ps. just get the GS3 
Tsepz tablets right now are not very usefull to me they are neither here nor there buddy i cant wait for the windows 8 ultra book hybrids (touch screen also to convert into tablet) to come out with decent graphics and then I'm going to throw out my laptop and ipad !
Yeah bb is really hitting rock bottom lets hope they can hold out till os10.
The gs3, while it is awesome, for some reason didn't overwhelm me like when i first held an s2 in hand,don't know how to explain it maybe because the htc one x is so close to it whereas the htc's of old were sorely lacking in the screen department and thickness etc.

Speaking of contracts, I agree with Falcon786, Cell C has the best contracts in this country and I am very glad I switched one of my numbers from Vodacom to Cell C. I am still waiting for a BB10 'Bold' next year before I go contract with Cell C though, however, I am now a little less confident that RIM will pull through. I really hope they do.

Very quiet round these parts, hope everyone is well, looking forward to summer, although this winter wasnt that cold, except the day or two it snowed.
Anyway, ive finally got my own wheels as my dad took delivery of his new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, so the old one has been passed down to me, luckily he has taken great care of it so its still strong and reliable, plus it has a 10 cd changer, sunroof , decent sound system, auto transmission and heated seats, so its a lot more than i expected in my 1st car, she's quite a gas guzzler though, no thanks to the 4.0l thirsty motor under the hood:

Thanks Dups!!
funny enough, despite its size its such a pleasure to drive it, being high up like that has its perks especially at intersections and although its a heavy thing i must say acceleration is ridiculously quick, and its easy to park, im loving it.
