A bird whispered in my ear that the N90 has been spotted around Cape Town...the phone has been delayed on both networks due to some compatibily issues... This is weird because the phone has been heavily advertised on tv the last couple of weeks.

Started playing a game called Townsmen yesterday. Bloody addictive, reminds me a bit of Warcraft, The Sims, etc.

Hello everybody
A quick correction Brix. The P800 wasn't on the market 3years ago.Althou SE used to sound the trumpet about 3 and a half years ago only managed to launch it after the lucrative christmas '02 (i.e. january '03) 3years ago the 7650 was the only smart cell in SA.

@mario2002: Three years ago I can recall an excited WirelessMonkey running into Cape Argus newsroom to show off his P800...ok, it should be said the phone was released later in SA but it had been available worldwide in Q4 2002.

A few hours after my last post i still couldn't fall asleep, so i took a drive out to the beachfront to watch the sunrise.
Upon returning i came across an incident in which 4 guys were assaulting a youngster, less than 2km from a police station and ambulance depot. The judicious application of boots and a few well-aimed blows sent them running, although i rather think it was the presence of my 9mm which helped. Assisted by an angel disguised as a young white teenager i applied a pressure dressing to the worst of his wounds, i.e. stabbing in the kidneys. Her boyfriend was having a fit because she was helping somebody of different hue (WTF??? It's 2005!!!) until i asked him to *censored* off and rather call an ambulance. The upshot is that after 45min of waiting his parents arrived sans ambulance. It transpired that he'd been en route home from a club when he was waylaid by guys in the taxi in which he was travelling. Also turned out his dad and i were colleagues a whopping 16years ago. Betcha old Sam was never as happy to see me as this morning...
Motive for the robbery and near-fatal assault: Nokia 1100.
Have a peaceful weekend, guys.

@Kryptik Welcome to the 'new south africa' thanks God I am on leave as of today (till the 16 dec) and be carefull with that gun, remember a very high percentage of youth is armed ! ! ! The criminals do not know when you pull your gun are you only going to treaten or shot, so they shot first !
@Brix SE launched the P800 in January 2003. Do a google search to refresh your memory if you don't believe me.I waited for moths to buy a P800 and when I could wait no more ended up with a 7650.Now as a after thought I think I am better off.After all SE has stopped the 'real' Pxx as of last year.The P990 is only a 'P' with the name.Is incompatible on every other respect.(screen resolution included) Sad but unfortunately true.

@ mario,
I have not forgotten about your S60 stuff that I accumulated at the Smartphone Show.
My nephew leaves for SA on Friday and your stuff is all ready to go in a big padded envelope.
The stuff should be with you next week.
Will be sent via Postnet to the P.O. box you PM'd to me.
Let me know when it arrives.

I'm not fighting with mario2002 about the release date of the P800.
Damn, just say the trailer of King Kong...it looks brilliant.

Indeed,Dr_Thug.
We were out-played today.Simple as that.
The SA team's 20 ODI games-unbeaten spree was ended quite emphatically.
There wasn't even need for Dhoni's explosive batting antics in Bangalore.
Congrats.
