I guess you're wondering how video recording is compared to the W900? Its around the same since the N81 records at mp4 QVGA res at 15fps. The sound in reording is CRYSTAL clear
Kyle
Really? dam. My Gaming keys are fine, no squeeking, only annoyance is the slider sometimes wobbles a little when opened.

Heres a little teaser hehe...: Taken with a buds N73:
the N81 in the pic is mine. I have a few more pics. Ive managed to convert most of my friends to the "Dark Side" one of them now has both N95-8GB and an N82 lol, the N82 in the pic isnt his though.
Wanqa
Here are those pics i promised lol, tell me what you think of this "MOTORBIKE" we call it a hurse on two wheels lol, my bud has managed to crash it twice in two months lol:
lol Gold Petrol Cap....kind of:
funny story, that petrol cap cant fully close and today he parked his bike outside in the sun and his tank was nearly empty, after school he rode off and since he had parked his bike in the sun all day MOST of the little bit of petrol had evaporated and he only got 5kms until his bike ran out of petrol stopped right in the middle of Witkoppen and Cedar Road here in Fourways
All the bike pics were taken by my N81

Thanks Gucci
A N82 and a N95 8gb.
Spoilt bugger.
Why'd he get the N82 when he has the 'King' lol
What are your thoughts on the N95 8gb since you've had the opportunity to tinkle around on one?
Its not long now hey.
Cannot wait.
This job though is numbing the excitement.Im so tired and for some reason this month is taking soooooooooooooooooo long lol
A month before upgrade for me is a hellish nightmare.
Everything has fallen so smoothly into place with this one (payins ect) its quite unsettling.
Im very sad about my about turn and disinterest in my P990i and the UIQ community.
Gucci,us phone whores can turn at a moments notice hey.
Wangs calls it schitzophrenia.I beg to differ.
We just phone slags.lol

Pistorius wins appeal to compete in Beijing
Double amputee Oscar Pistorius can try to qualify for the Beijing Olympics after winning his appeal against a ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the South African said on Friday.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) ruled in January that runner Pistorius could not compete with able-bodied athletes because the carbon-fibre blades attached to both legs gave him an advantage.
The 21 year-old appealed to CAS, which ruled in his favour on Friday following a hearing with various scientists at the end of last month.
"I don't think 'really happy' describes it. I'm ecstatic. The battle has been going on for far too long. It is a victory for sports in general. I think this day will go down in history," Pistorius told a news conference in Milan, where his lawyers are based.
"Now I can definitely say the truth has come out. I have the opportunity once again to chase my dream of the Olympics, if not 2008, in 2012."
He confirmed he would run in able-bodied races in Milan on July 2 and at the Rome Golden Gala on July 11, where he competed last year and endeared himself to Italian fans.
The 400 metres will be his main target but he is realistic about his chances of making the Aug 8-24 Games with the qualifying deadline in late July.
"I've missed the whole South African season. The time period is very short. It's going to be very difficult for me to qualify (for the able-bodied Games)," he said.
CAMARADERIE BETTER
He could run in the relay in Beijing without a sufficient individual time but is not holding out much hope with South Africa's 4x400m team struggling to qualify.
Pistorius, who won gold in the 200 metres and bronze in the 100 metres at the 2004 Athens Paralympics, was emphatic that he would compete in this year's Paralympics in September whether he qualified for the able-bodied Games or not.
He reckoned the camaraderie between paralympians was better than between able-bodied athletes but said essentially there was no difference between the two.
"Sport is supposed to bring people together not judge and separate," he said.
Swiss-based CAS, the world's top sports court, said in a statement that the IAAF had not proved competition rules had been contravened by his J-shaped blades.
"On the basis of the evidence brought by the experts called by both parties, the panel was not persuaded that there was sufficient evidence of any metabolic advantage in favour of the double amputee using the Cheetah Flex-Foot," the statement said.
The IAAF welcomed the decision and said more research needed to be conducted into the effects of prostheses.
"The IAAF accepts the decision of CAS, and Oscar will be welcomed wherever he competes this summer," a statement said.
"He is an inspirational man and we look forward to admiring his achievements in the future."

Its going to be a cracker tomorrow in the Super 14.
The Blues got the weekend off to a perfect start for South African Vodacom Super 14 hopes when they scored a hard-fought 19-17 win over the Hurricanes in their final league match in Auckland on Friday morning.
Blow-by-blow scoring
By limiting the Hurricanes to just one bonus point, it effectively means that if both the Stormers and the Sharks pick up bonus-point wins in their final matches of the league season on Saturday, then South Africa will have two teams in the playoffs for a second successive year.
And if the Reds do what the Blues did by scoring an upset win when they face the Waratahs in another derby match on Saturday, we could even have one of the South African teams playing at home when the semifinals arrive next weekend. Had the Hurricanes won, they would have virtually assured themselves of second position and home ground advantage next week, and would have effectively ended any hope of a semifinal on South African soil.
Now there is everything to play for as the Stormers face the Lions in Johannesburg and the Sharks host the Chiefs on what promises to be a pulsating, exciting and tense conclusion to this phase of the Super 14 season.
