Been very busy, H.
We're finally on holiday and jetting off to Canada later today for a break with the better half, for a week and a half. First time I'm going there. We'll be just outside Toronto, a place called Burlington. Quite keen to see what the cellphone scene's like there. The 5800 and
P1i are both coming with.
@ Tsepz:
LOL, yeah, and their ad campaigns of late are the biggest I've seen for a long time. There's billboards with Arc and Play on, more ads in mags and papers, etc. Making those handsets around Android has really saved

Did anyone here in Jhb enter the Free Nokia E7 early bird competition where the 1st 100 people to bring their old Eseries to Vodaworld would get a free E7 on the morning of 16th April (today)?
Seems it quickly turned into a major PR disaster, check the comments from when people arrived this morning:
http://ringaz.nokia.co.za/mob[....]ird-catches-the-free-nokia-e7/ was tempted to take the E51 there, but i just had a bad gut feel about it and didnt bother, seems i was right not to go, hope those people who did get some sort of compensation as it looks it was handled very badly.

Anyone interested in Windows Phone here?
Here's a link to the MIX11 event, its 2hours long but the 1st 45-50mins are realy interesting:

Left me a little underwhelmed, as Android already has many of those things, the Live Agents feature is realy sweet though, but the rest is nothing realy new, im a bit put off by its UI, too much black, and a waste of screen real-estate by the large text and over sized widgets (LiveTiles), wonder what Nokia will add to it.

Wow Tsepz.That Nokia thing sounded like a massive F-up.Wouldnt have minded taking my E90 in for an E7.Would have been a sweet swap.
Windows Mobile.Maybe next year when Nokia join the party.For now Im all Android.

Nice one Hobbs, there's something VERY wrong with v06, i updated to it and got endless FCs so went back to V054 and it kept the V06 tweaks and working very well
How do you like the Cyanogen Settings and UI?

Its very nice Tsepz.The reason why I changed is that I saw a poll - Which Rom do you think is the best? and Wolfbreaks Rom was speeding ahead.Made me think maybe I'm missing out on something.And my verdict.It isn't as speedy (but it is a fuller package and not just the bare essentials.I like it so far.And also he seems to be active whereas Zhizhu has just vanished from developing his FreeX10.

Totaly agree, not as snappy as FreeX10 but a fuller package, i just couldn't bring myself to stick with a bare ROM after having used Wolfbreak and Trip's ROMs.
I'd highly recommend trying Launcher Pro with this ROM, my X10 is just so smooth and fast with this ROM and LP, its incredible, wish my internet was the same...although Voda today phoned to inform me that they are sending out someone to come test and fix the tower this side, its made using Whatsapp, FB, Twitter, Browser etc...an absolute pain.

Probaby my favourite SE of all time, wonder where mine landed up after SE took it after giving me a crappy W880 as a replacement.

Been checking out the cell shops and networks here in Canada; Rogers, Fido, Wind, Telus, Koodo, Bell.
Took some bril pics from the sky pod on top of the famous CN Tower in Toronto, at sunset. Fortunately it was a fairly clear evening. The 5800's battery conked out with all the happy-snapping, so the better half's Xperia Mini came in handy..
Will upload pics when I'm back across The Pond over the weekend.
