Vodacom... K700 ain't bad just SE should improve their joysticks because they become messed up quite quickly especially if you're playing lots of games using it.

HELLO TO EVERYONE:All new 3G phones that are available or to be release in future will have DRM(DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT).What this mean is now you cannot transfer stuff via devices.This affects branded and non branded phones......So to all those people who love free stuff all i can say now is.....YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL CONTENT THAT YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONES IN FUTURE........you are stuck now.

That sucks. Whats the use? Why do you have bluetooth then? Its useless, you need file transfer. I send ms word files to my phone via bt and then email them. You telling me that i wont be able to do that anymore.

@Rhino: Don't stress about it, DRM is way off...don't think it will be available in upcoming phones from SE, most likely 3G phones... If your phone does come with DRM there certainly will be a nerd out there willing to hack it.

YES.Any content that has royalties to pay will be protected by DRM.No more FREEBIES IN FUTURE.The reason the mobile manufactures are doing this is to increase mobile networks and their trade partners revenues.Nice if you are in a cell business HUH............Very soon coming to SA Full length movies on memory cards......DVDs will be discontinued soon

Unless they are able to set the handset's bluetooth parameters for only pairing with eg. headsets and document/data,not media/music formats? Just a wild guess..I'm no DRM boffin.
But yes, I think there's bound to be people finding ways around the restrictions.
Totally off the topic,and you'll have to pardon my brute ignorance, but I keep seeing my number of posts on esato diminishing. I'm using different browsers at work, at home and on the p900 when I'm out, but surely this wouldn't be the cause..?
Maybe I'll have to revert to my old esato username, which the wife won't be too pleased with,(my warped sense of humour), but I know that one works fine.

@utheta: I think masseur explained in another thread that post in the regional threads and mobile-free zone don't count towards posts. My posts only recently started picking up.

@Brix all 3G PHONES will have DRM protection.Yes some nerds know how to bypass this and then everyone will know it and then something else will come out

Thanks, brix.
If that's the case, then I'm not too fussed. Was more curious as to why it was happening.
Any phone you fancy as the successor to your precious yet? I checked out a 6680 at the carphonewarehouse after voting in the general elections here today. Nice handset, but I'm still in no rush to get 3G, despite all the additional stuff. 2G & 2.5G suits all my phone needs at this stage.The k750 is due out at CPW at the end of this month, according to their latest catalogue.
