@ Hobbs,
Didn't realise that they hadn't depreciated as much as here... Expansys UK are now selling them sim-free for £239.95 (approx R3430 with the current exchange rate).

Gmorning all.
@Hobbs,
It's really nice you're enjoying your P990 like that bro!I envy you!
yea, i have just started reading my first ebook on my mobi, "The cassandra compact" By Robert Ludlum, the writer of the bourne series (the bourne identity, the bourne supremacy and the bourne ultimatum)
Anyway, its friday, and totally off topic, my fiance is having permanent make up done today, and saying i am mad or disappointed about it is a wayyy big understatement. even furious is an understatement.

Hau..! Saw this article on
www.theregister.co.uk today:
'South Africa mulls reining in roaming
Your personal details, or else...
By Bill Ray
The South African justice committee is considering making foreign travellers register their name, passport number, and address with a local provider before being allowed to use the local GSM services.
The requirement is part of the "Regulation of Interception of Communication Amendment Bill". The bill also requires anyone buying a phone in South Africa to prove who they are and where they live.
Most countries make some attempt to find out who you are when you buy a phone; with different levels of legislation, enforcement, and effect.
In the UK, customers routinely hand over their personal details, but is still possible, and legal, to refuse. Most of Europe requires buyers to produce some form of ID, though there is little attempt to control the resale of connections.
Gabriel Solomon, director of Government and Regulatory Affairs at the GSMA, described the move as "unprecedented and impractical", adding that it would make the South African government a laughing stock come the 2010 Fifa World Cup when the world's journalists can't call home.
Local operators in South Africa are also complaining that long queues will develop as visitors try to register. But it seems more likely that fans on a short visit just won't bother, and thus be unable to incur the exorbitant roaming fees those operators depend on for a significant portion of their revenue. '

Been sick in bed, but a bit better.
@ jmash, the first book i downloaded with readmaniac was war of the worlds. Never got round to reading it. Right now i am reading Men like Gods, also an HG Wells book.
Oh yeah, about the bourne series of books, my one friend read them all, and he mentioned that just about the only resemblance between the book and the movie were character names. He said he just took the movies as completely different stories. But dont take my word.
Oh well, back to working out cracking guitar solos...hehe!

Sigh, love it when other established companies are not intimidated to take on the monopolising elements of Gates's e-empire, and prepared to fight fire with fire as in this article.
As long as they know EXACTLY where they are going with this...there is a thin line between foolishness and bravery...
