Yep its ZAKUMI. ZA for South Africa (as in .co.za) and apparently Kumi means 10 in most African languages, so South Africa 10= ZAKUMI lol thats what Gareth Cliff and the gang said on 5fm this morning.

The new HTC G1 Android Smartphone with 192mb RAM, HSDPA, GPS, 3.2mp camera, 528mhz Qualcomm CPU, 3.1inch HVGA (480x320) Screen, QWERTY keyboard, accelerometer etc. . . with NO Video Recording and NO Bluetooth File Transfer lol!

@HOBBS: Coz it doesn't have video recording and

OBEX transfer? Google have probably figured that most of phone's intended market won't be using or needing those features.
As I've grown older I've also noticed that I'm not using

as much as say four or even two years ago. Kids on the other hand need to transfer pictures and tones from their friends at school and

would be a necessary feature at anything marketed at 12-23 year-olds.

I have just downloaded 2 videos from Daily Mobile showing the G1 in action and it looks pretty impressive to me.

Ye brix is right. But i mean if a device is going to have Bluetooth it might as well support file transfer, because there will be that odd occassion when you want to bluetooth something to another phone, im guessing OBEX is not hardware dependant because at GSMArena they say this will be added later.

Crap, after running so well for the past month my K850 gets BROD, took out the battery an hour ago, now put it back in and still no luck, the keypad lights up and the Blue Ring of light around the camera lense lights up and the phone just stays like that with a blank screen.

think my mum may have to take it to Vodaworld on her way to work tomorrow.
