Yep Jmash, its not major features though, apparently we are going to lose the current X10 Camera UI and get the stock Android Camera UI, personaly i realy like the stock one anyway as its cleaner and fast. Other features to be lost are Moxier and the SE BackUp app, but i mean we gain Flash Player, faster JavaScript engine, newer Webkit engine, loads of security fixes, better power management, better app management, faster UI, new APIs, and other UI and under the hood refinements, so we gain much more than we lose.
Ive been off uni since late May lol, but have taken the holis easy until tomorrow
this next half is going to be wild before i go back to uni
going to get a holi job next time, such lazyness is not good, almost lost my mind.
Happy Youth Day everyone

Jmash As long as the Gingerbread update is smooth and fast Im happy.This SE 2.1 stock rom isnt very pleasant to use after using the Froyo custom and the Gingerbread custom roms.But one thing for sure is its nice having full functionlity in the camera and video department.Cmon Gingerbread.Be a speedy beast so I dont have to visit XDA again.

Thanks Tsepz.Ya the
P1i rules with most macro shots, out of the 2 smartphones. The 5800 is OK under certain conditions, but has a tendency to very 'noisy' with bright colour elements, often over-saturating. You can really fiddle with the light settings on the P1i prior to taking a shot, and that makes a fair difference too.
Guys, I've had to keep this quiet until after the event, as it is a public forum and we were given some clear guidelines with this.. I am a regional rep for a biker charity called the Royal British Legion Riders Branch, and on Friday I was invited to meet Prince Charles in person, at Clarence House, along the famous red road called The Mall which is right by Buckingham Palace! He shook hands with me and he chatted about his sons' love for bikes, I told him that I was originally from East London SA, etc. Gee, he was really quite animated and open, not the 'stiff upper lip' at all. It was quite funny seeing myself and the other RBLR regional reps in our biking gear meeting Royalty, all dressed in our biker clothing and having these waiters and waitresses serving us stuff the whole time (ya, I tried to not be too much of a vraat with all that free chow n' larnie stuff, LOL)!
Yeah, I was on my absolute best behaviour, especially with some of the Royalty Protection SO14 squad amongst us as well.. LOL.
The TV crews were there, Camilla was faffing about there as well, and The Prince of Wales made the effort to chat with each one of us. You call him 'Your Royal Highness' when he first shakes hands with you and then it's just 'sir' after that. We were of course given a brief briefing about protocol and etiquette before we went from parking the bikes around the garden area and venturing into Clarence House itself.
It was an unforgettable day alright; here's a 5800 pic of Saturday's front page about the event (Charlie's Angels, LMAO!!!
).

Of course, once we were inside, strictly no pics allowed, except by the appointed photographer. There should be a good few pics of us chatting. Once the photographer has put the pics online, I'll post a few on here. I should've had a piece of card in my other hand with 'Esato SAMD' on it, but I didn't want to raise too many unnecessary questions about what it may mean etc at such a one-off meeting, LOL

Yah, His Royal Wanqness is utterly chuffed after such a chinwag with said Royalty.
I'm trying to imagine cucumber sandwiches on a braai now...
Posh talk the quick way:
Q, what do you breathe in?
A, air
Q, what grows out of your head?
A, hair
Q, the home of a Fox?
A, Lair
Now put them all together and you are ready to greet... by saying out loud 'AIR, HAIRLAIR!'

Tsepz as you've seen on the x10 thread I'm back on cm7.0.3. the x10 in the current eclair state is too painful to use.se gingerbread better have quadrant benchmarks above at least 1000.that eclair rom maxed out at +-550 for me.that sucks big-time.getting between 1200-1400 on the cm7.0.3.how can you go back to 550.you can't.

"AIR, HAIRLAIR"

Think i'll be sticking to Android and maybe get a Samsung if there's no SE dual-core droid, maybe get the next Google Nexus, i see Voda have the Nexus S, so we should get the next one to.
Hows your X10 treating you?
Think i may flash a new baseband and also expirament with the Gingie ROMs seeing as its only coming in Aug
