Unless you're in the telco industry, you would not have heard much from our newest player in the field. Yesterday while walking in the Cape Town CBD I came across this interesting site...workmen digging up the pavement and laying down cables for Neotel.

@ KBR,
How are you finding the
K810i experience compared to the K800i?
Are there even differences? Apart from the obvious cosmetic changes. It's been widely advertised as being available on the Vodacom network.
@KBR786: Is it branded with Vodafone junk?
I love this phone to be honest!! Looks very sexxxy sleek and just all shiny you know
and its blue!!
Im not sure about the branding all I know is mine is UNBRANDED!!!
Ye same as the K800 but just the form factor and lightness of the phone on the specs it looks like the 2 phones are almost the same size but in your hand its just so small hard to believe!!
Its a decent "upgrade" to the K800. And the buttons lol makes no difference it easy to use!
The best thing I like about it is the man on the street doesnt even know this phone exists so to them they think its some prototype phone!
Havent felt this good about a phone since my K700 and that was also the last unbranded
I owned!
Should I buy 5K worth of shares or 100 shares? It will be my first time playing this market dunno what to do....

i haven't seen the offering yet, but assuming it's structured the same way as most AA share issues are these days, you'll probably need to put an amount down as deposit, with the balance being due at some future date, at which time you either pay the balance and take full ownership, or allow them to sell the shares held in your name, after which the profit generated by the sale is paid over to you. What i usually do when this type of scenario arises is to determine how much i'm willing to spend, then calculate what the balance would be. After that it's a matter of either setting aside enough each month to pay said balance, or if i have enough cash floating about *yeah right* putting it aside in some interest-bearing instrument, either unit trusts or money market. Either way, it's a good idea laying your hands on some of those shares...

The Neo 1973, the first phone to use the open-source, Linux-based OpenMoko mobile operating system, has techies abuzz in anticipation of its October consumer release. ADVERTISEMENT
Though the phone's large, touch-screen display might evoke comparisons with the iPhone, OpenMoko's approach to software is the exact opposite of Apple's. Apple doesn't allow third-party software to run on the iPhone (Web 2.0 sites notwithstanding), ostensibly to maintain the company's hallmark smooth and controlled user experience.

So today Maq Washing Powder paid us an unexpected (but very very welcome) visit. What's more, they came bearing gifts
The school at which i teach is one of the poorest around, and what most learners at other schools take for granted is a boon to my little terrorists. One of our biggest problems is the chronic shortage of desks, chairs, etc. Somebody somewhere came up with the unique concept of The LapDesk, and that's what they brought along today, a lapdesk for each child

Good on them Kryptik.That's awesome.Wish more businesses would help uplift some of the poorer schools.Like a timber business making desks and chairs and donating them or a stationary company giving pencils,pens,books ect It would make such a difference.Small little contributions in large quantities.

Yeah!That's a really Generous act da Krysta.Many schools out there needs people like those to uplift them.Have you heard about the 1 laptop per child project.The production of these laptop has already started.I just don't know whether Mzansi's kids are on the distribution list.This is also a good project aiming to empower children and introduce them to the world of computing.
