Yeah, about time we had a bit more options as regards avatars too, hey Gucci?
30x30 pixels. Sheesh. Miniscule. Oh well, still better than just the phone avatar options.

Eish, poor Moto. Still nowhere near navigating out of the doldrums. This article appeared on The Register's site recently:
'Motorola is still losing money like gangbusters. In the first quarter of 2009, handset sales dropped nearly 50 per cent compared to last year.
The company said it sold 14.7 million mobiles in the three month period ending March 31, spiraling down from 27.4 million year-over-year.
Moto's total net loss in Q1 was $231m, a deepening hole from $194m it lost in the first quarter of 2008. That's on revenue of $5.37bn, compared to $7.45bn year-over-year.
The cause of Moto's woes, as usual, was its ailing handset business. Mobile sales totaled $1.8bn, down by 45 per cent year-over-year. The unit posted an operating loss of $509m in Q2 compared to a loss of $418m during the same period last year.
Moto hopes an upcoming batch of Android-based phones will save its handset biz, but the rescue — if it comes — won't arrive for some time yet. Moto's handset chieftain and co-CEO Sanjay Jha reconfirmed in a prepared statement that the phones won't be out until the forth quarter of this year. Jha's scrap of good news was that the cell phone division's first quarter operating loss was less than the previous quarter.
Perhaps more worrying for the firm is that its two other divisions that have traditionally kept the company afloat - home networking and providing infrastructure to network operators - are also taking on water.
Home and Network Mobility sales were $2bn, down 16 per cent compared to the same period last year. The unit's GAAP operating earnings was $115m, compared to $153m year-over-year.
Enterprise Mobility sales were $1.6bn, down 11 per cent compared to Q1 2008. GAAP operating income was $156m, down from $250m year-over-year.
Moto has been trying to ride out the crap economy by laying off staff and making money-saving cuts. The company said it expects to generate positive cash flows in the second half of the year.'

Hey ppl
Some of you might know that there is a way to get free internet on your phone by using opera mini mod and proxy addresses. It seems that it is very hard to achieve this here in South Africa. I am going to start a new thread about free mobile internet in South Africa, So if you know anything please go check it out. (I'll add the link to the thread as soon as I have created it).
Thanx all South Africans!!!

SitNet
Nice. Thanx man.
All
Just got a new BP-6MT (1050mAh) batt for my N81, these last few days i noticed my batt cover wasnt fitting properly, and it kept creaking annoyingly so i thought my batt cover was done, after trying a friends N81 batt cover i realised it wasnt the cover it was the batt,the batt has expanded, its only noticeable when put next to a new battery, NOKIA seriously need to do something about this,my N80 had the same problem, i was starting to blame my N81 for giving me false battery readings, even Energy Profiler, whilst listening to music and web browsing yesterday my N81 lasted 1hour and went from full to empty as in it had 7bars then 1 within a few seconds,anyway the new batt is great so far, will test it properly only tomorrow.

Sounds good, sitnet.
@ Gucci:
I hope that, with the help of some of those 'study session beverages', that you'll be posting some deep, reflective commentaries in this thread after a few long 'study sessions'...
