@K71, you will not have nay problem using the G900 with Vodafone in New Zealand. You will also find the screen is pretty solid compared with previous touch screen handsets made by SE.

Hey have you guys seen
this story about 'tele-presence' hologram technology as the next big thing in telecommunications?

It's currently being trialled by Telstra Australia and will appear on TV3's Campbell live tonight at 7pm. Should be good! What's not good is that I work nights at the moment and will be relying on TV3's video-on-demand on thier website so see what it looks like.

Anyway, I've created a thread about it
here.

Lol turns out its not really to do with holograms, but future tech might be. To be honest it looked rather average. Its just high-def video calling with no delay, and I think we could have all guessed that was coming. I don't see it becoming very popular because who wants to get all dressed up just to take a phone call? I bet it will be like mobile phone video calling...
@K71: Plemix.com has the G900 mate. Its $695 for the dark brown and $702 for the red. See
here. 
If you wait a few weeks like you said you probably will, I bet it will go down a bit!

Yeah mate, it looks pretty good when you consider the specs the G900 is packing! I hope you have a M2 memory stick cause the phone doesn't come with one, so you may be paying more if you need one!

Just went and saw a movie with my girlfriend and both our younger brothers and as we were walking home, a couple of idiots attempted to assault our brothers! What the hell is NZ coming to?!
My girlfriend and I crossed the road to avoid them, but our brothers didn't and the two guys, clearly wacked out on something, or really drunk, went up to my brother pretending to know him, then took two swipes at him before having a go at my girlfriend's brother! We went back to help them out and started yelling at them to f*ck off and the two guys started yelling at us saying things like "you want to have a go at a couple of p-heads?" Well we just told them to leave us alone and walked quickly away, but my brother while unhurt, was hit twice and my girlfriend's brother caught one punch and took another to the head and was clearly hurt and upset. As we walked away they started screaming at the top of their lungs at us. My girlfriend was pretty shaken and so were the rest of us I think... I just don't f*cking know whats happening. We used to be able to walk home just fine but now its like we shouldn't even go out and enjoy our Friday night. There's idiots out there who spoil things for everyone...

And its not any better in Auckland either I'm afraid.
When in my late teens, all my mates were in the local church youth group so I pretty much by-passed the whole 'right of passage' drinking culture/marujuana experimenting period. These days it seems compulsory to not just partake, but go all out, to prove how 'staunch' you are. As they say, "It's always funny til someone loses an eye..." When I was a young driver, I knew no-one who was disqualified, now everyone has at least one disqualification and thousands of $ of fines to deal with.
I hope your girlfriends okay and her brother too. I hear Christchurch can get pretty wild, with that guy found guilty of murder just last week for running over 2 girls at a party that go out of control. Same dumb s--t happens up here too.

Yeah I bypassed all that stuff too. Sure I go out for drinks occasionally, but the drugs and taking it way too far part I stayed away from. I think I had good mates who knew how to stay controlled too. Yeah unfortunately Christchurch is just really beginning to get bad. It used to be alright in my opinion...
I think we're all ok though, thanks.
That party where those two girls were run over and killed was actually only a few blocks from where I live, near a small shopping centre where I go often. The street where it happened was blocked off for around 2 weeks while they gathered info. It was a pretty big deal down here, it seemed like a lot of people knew those two girls... My girlfriend sort of knew them too, through her friends.
Anyways, onto better things... I see the carkit review is up!

I am just about to have a good read! Cheers!
