Guys, I'm feeling nauseous...been staring at my PC monitor the whole day and I still have to go a party this evening.
@786KBR: Pity there's no Vodaworld in Slaapstad, would've liked to check some of the offers.
This weekend I ain't buying nada, just paying off an inflated credit card bill...eBay is addictive like crack...Stay off that site, it's poisonous to your financial health.

Yeah, I've bought close to 80 things off eBay over the past 2+ years, and it can be so darn addictive. I'm actually quite amazed that I've managed to limit myself pretty well over the past few months.
@ da brixsta,
Wanna make yourself more nauseous? Check the UK eBay site and see what prices 2nd hand cars go for here, compared to SA. Unfortunately, the SA govt makes it virtually uneconomical to ship cars to SA from here...I'd be a very rich man if there wasn't so many charges and red tape.
All to 'protect' the local car assembly plants/factory work in SA apparently...yeah right, more like the multi-billion Rand automotive industry maintaining some form of monopoly/ stranglehold on SA car consumers!
Any money under the table, SA automotive industry?

Hopefully Vodacom will lower their data rates or else they can do away with all the nonsense and charge users a flat rate with perhaps a cap for those of us who often abuse the generosity of money-hungry corporates.
Some
news from the Y'ello guys...they've been awfully quiet of late. News also coming from MTN is that their HSDPA network went live this past Wednesday.
By Rebecca Harrison
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Africa's biggest cell phone firm MTN posted nine-month adjusted headline earnings per share of 338.2 cents, as forecast, thanks to subscriber growth and acquisitions, it said on Thursday.
The South African company is changing its year-end to December 31 from end-March so did not give a comparable year-ago number, but the latest figure was in the company's forecast range of 328 to 345 cents. For the 12 months to end-March 2005, MTN posted adjusted headline earnings per share of 366 cents.
MTN said it expected a further increase in subscribers in South Africa to 12.3 million by the end of 2006, a rise in Nigerian to 11.8 million and a further 1.5 million from its new Iran business, set for launching in August.
Now the question remains, will Iranian subscribers get porn on their phones?

@ da brixsta,
Glad to hear you're feeling better today.
Used the P900's browser extensively today (while spending 2 hours at the mortgage advisor) to follow the cricket score and other sport highlights, such as The Royals' (Reading) promotion to the English Premiership this afternoon.
Daylight saving ends here tonight with the advent of Spring and Summer, so we've all got to advance our watches, clocks etc. by 1 hour tonight.
Fortunately the PC's do this automatically at 12am.

Gee, there's more going down in my left nostril than 'round here over the past few days.
Let's keep this forum ticking over.
The W810 becomes available here within the next 5 days from O2,
http://shop.o2.co.uk/student/[....]prodID=consumer:SE:W810i:GROUP , as has been mentioned in other threads.
Not sure if you guys have been following all the hype about T-Mobile's ultra-competitive new contract tariffs.
The FlexT 35 tariff gives you £180-worth (approx R2000-worth) of either calls, texts or whatever for £26.25 (approx R300) a month if bought directly from T-Mobile.
(Or £35 through anyone else. This is not necessarily a bad thing; many of these 'deals' have impressive redemption/ cash-back offers at various intervals over the contract period.)
In a nutshell, you can get 900 minutes any-time, any-network for approximately R300!
The only catch? This rate is only available if you take out an 18 month contract instead of the usual 1 year contract.
