Does anybody here use some kind of "non-standard" charger for their spare battery/ies? I've seen a generic type of charger which has adjustable pins which one positions so as to make contact with the battery terminals, has an indicator light to show when the battery has been charged, etc. Was wondering whether those things are any good..

@ Mario,
I will give a brief answer. Kryptik summed it up pretty well though. I do a LOT of school admin during the evenings and other programmes that I use daily (like Active Primary and Easiteach running). It's obviously dead easy to just minimise Esato and refresh the page between all the work, for example.
We're also both very much night-owls, athough we haven't perfected this dark art (excuse pun) as much as some others like Francois. Franc, I still dunno how you get away with such little sleep, dude.
Quality of life? If I wasn't able to multi-task, my life might well be in a shambles (which it certainly isn't); I have nothing to prove to anybody suffice to say that I still manage Priority 1 (the mrs), then work, doing other necessary things, etc.
I'll leave it at that, BUT I sincerely do appreciate your tone of concern, Mario.

You're so lucky boet, those are great programmes! We're still using the B&P programme here though (Ballpoint and Paper
). I have a fair stack of admin myself, being stuck with 6 learning areas, but after having been in the game for nigh on 20 years one learns how to operate at maximum efficiency. I'm sure Wanqa will agree that the old adage of "A stitch in time saves nine" is most appropriate, particularly in our profession. The odd bits of admin work which we manage to squeeze in during the 8-3 workday do really add up to a significant amount of after-hours time being saved.

Kryptik, you're so right, boet. I just wish more colleagues around here didn't take all that we have at our disposal so 'for granted'.
Now here's a fantastic site for 'onnies'. There's tons of free downloadable resources for all subjects here which you can utilise in SA as well:
www.primaryresources.co.uk
The sites below may require a decent internet connection for a lot of the activities and resources, but again they are all free and great to use:

'Apple Shares Dive After Disappointing iPhone Activation Numbers are Posted
Disappointing initial activation numbers for the iPhone are to blame for Apple shares declining over 6% in Tuesday trading, and reports from AT&T of a 'significant decline' in demand for the device at retail locations are not helping the stock gain traction.
Disproving analyst projections of up to 500,000 units being sold on the first two days the iPhone hit store shelves, which also formed the last two days of the second financial quarter, AT&T has reported that just 146,000 customers activated an iPhone during the period.
Since the announcement of the iPhone at Macworld in January, Apple shares surged more than 40% to an all-time high on Monday of US$144.18, but lost $8.81 per share by close of trading Tuesday after AT&T's second quarter earnings report was issued. The market will have to wait until third quarter results come out later this year to gauge the performance of the iPhone over a longer period.'

thanx for those links Wanqa, spent a good 90min browsing them
So the iPhone isn't doing quite as well as they'd expected... a 6% hit doesn't sound huge but in financial circles it's quite a blow, despite the 40% climb which they had enjoyed. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that hackers were crawling all over the iPhone the moment it hit the shelves... Fortunately there's been somewhat of an offset in earnings, largely due to the 73% jump in quarterly profits on sales of Macs and iPods...
Just to show how fluid this kind of market is, after the 6% drop their shares then gained 9% in after-hours trading. Go figure

Howzit Gucci!
Eish, sorry to hear about the Death Of The Famous Gucci W900i. In a way I'm glad you've at least got a chance now to dabble with a smartphone like the N80.
There's so many sites for free S60 stuff, as I'm sure you know. Enjoy it boet! I still prefer UIQ smartphones, but that's just what suits me. I enjoy what S60 has to offer too though.
@ Kryptik,
No probz, boet. We often use the Primary Resources site for activity worksheets, homework, etc.

This arrived in the post some time ago.
(Taken with the N73).
I'll be definitely going again, taking a lot of exclusive pics for both a dedicated thread on the show but also some exclusive to our thread.
Last year they also had those live Japanese NTT/ FOMA DoCoMo handsets there too; hopefully they'll have some of the recently released ones at the show as well.
Oh ja, and I'll be taking whatever bags with me again to get as much smartphone-related freebies as possible for us, like I did last year.
