Sorry about your X10, at least it is still functioning and the damage wasn't that extensive. I have a niece who's over a year old and I know exactly how these little ones are. I never left my phone near my daughter when she was still a baby either.
Tried your suggestion on the browser and nothing changed. Yes, I am using the Java version. I am currently using UCWeb and am starting to like it. The bloody Opera 5.01 decided it didn't want to load any pages instead telling me to check my network settings. It's the second time it does this.

Ya i think im going to keep it in my pocket whenever im not charging or using it, im hardly ever near little kids so its quite an adjustment when i come here, you realise you simply cant leave things lying around at all, lol.
Im glad you're starting to like UCWeb, its a good browser, still rough around the edges but its getting there slowly. Its made by some Chinese guys, who always make the Chinese version 1st then translate it (not always so well) to English.
Im going to have to wait until im at home (tomorrow) to try the java version on the 5800, and then i'll let you know what could be wrong, it should be showing pages in Mobile, Mobile view in UCWeb is named Adaptive mode/or view, so just make sure its set to that, unless they changed its name to Mobile?
Yep, i get the same annoying message with Opera Mini, it will do it even if the signal and connection are fine sometimes, restarting is the only way i found to get around that.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.
I think, however, we've got our lines crossed or I didn't quite explain myself clearly, the UCWeb browser is 100 percent okay but Bolt isn't. Bolt is the one that doesn't allow me mobile view.

woah, how on earth did i read that as ucweb? Sorry about that Dups, lol. I found the same issue in Bolt, what i did notice is that when set to Mobile it doesnt display website ads, and thats about it, so i guess it simply loads less data in the same view when set to Mobile.

It's okay Tsepz, I suppose I'll have to get used to the way Bolt handles sites.
So, what are you all thinking of 8ta from Telkom?
Personally, I think more competition is good. I think they have great pre-paid call and sms rates. Their data rates are competitve but on lower priced bundles whereas on higher ones they lag slightly behind the Voadcom and MTN.
I'm looking to see what their post-paid rates are like. I have a feeling they will deliver extremely competitive rates. Four mobile networks are the maximum IMO, South Africa's market is a little saturated and 8ta will have to work very hard to try and catch up to Cell C.
I also like their name, something completely unique and South African in the mobile arena. Good luck to them as a new entrant in a tough market.

I havent read much about 8ta yet, it is great to have another competitor though, so we now have 5 networks dont we? Or did Virgin eventualy pull out? Havent seen much of them lately, im going to check 8ta out for sure though. Our networks realy have to get with the times, Vodacom i see were offering the X10mini with 30mb free data, i was like WTF? Do they even have a clue of how much data an Android can go through in a month? I feel sorry for many people here who are pushed to get a Desire, Galaxy-S or X10, who havent a clue about Android as they are in for a suprise in terms of data use when they get their monthly bill as these phones dont come with data bundles in contract unlike in the US or UK, yet they chow data like there's no tomorrow, our networks realy need to jack up.

You're so right Tsepz!
We are being ripped off at every turn! I was hoping since Vodafone is now the major shareholder in Vodacom they would bring us closer to the UK with much better rates.
Virgin is still around but I don't regard them as a real mobile network. They are too much of a virtual one to be taken seriously.
I'm really hoping 8ta shakes up the post-paid market so that we could benefit from Vodacom. I know quite a few people who hate Telkom because of the issues they've had with them but I'm waiting to see what they have to offer with 8ta. If they have good post-paid rates then one of my contracts goes to them.
I love Vodacom mainly for its wonderful coverage but if 8ta offers me something great then they will lose one of my contracts that's for sure.

lol, so Is virgin still around in SA? It didn't quite materialise...
I'm hating Vodacom so much right now, I'd load airtime and receive a message from them saying I can call for free after midnight. So I did that and my airtime still finished, on top of that, it was about "90%" off call discount...
Tsepz
Hard luck bro, but then again, you screen is not cracked so it's all good.
