In the middle of quoting da wanqsta I forgot to add my post. Basically I shared the sentiments...wearing a
headset in public looks totally retarded especially the ones made by Nokia and Motorola...the
and Samsung make way better ones- designwise.

I think it's even more sad ('sad' is such a fitting Pom colloquilism) when people wear BT headsets to social gatherings/ parties etc. I mean, come on..get a life, get out more and it might just help to stop trying to appear so desperately 'with it'.
I'm busy watching the cricket happening in CT at the mo; thank goodness for Kemp's fantastic blitz on the bowlers.
Trying to not let the TV distract me too much... I've got loads of schoolwork to get through.
BTW, it was quite funny seeing Shane Warne throwing his toys out the cot and getting so the moer-in with Kevin Pietersen during first Ashes test, who smacked numerous 4's off his bowling, that the frustrated spin bowler deliberately threw the ball at KP, which he just evaded, and then gave Warne a piece of his own mind. The Poms are still gonna need a miracle to save this first Ashes test though...

@da wanqsta: KP seems to revel putting his
foot in his mouth. Seems like every opportunity he gets he slates South Africa and Graeme Smith.
Deep down I think he still loves South Africa and needs to justify his treacherous act at every opportunity even blaming a "quota system" when, at the time, he was an ordinary cricketer who didn't show any promise.
Final word from Graeme Smith:
Quote:"If he had kept his mouth shut he would have had far fewer people angry at him and he would have taken far less flak," Smith said.
BTW, South Africa crushed Indian again...seems like it's going to be a boring summer.

Yeah, I was fortunately able to watch most of the match.
I'm not defending Pietersen's rantings at all, least of all on the amount of blame he attributes to the quota system, but Smith is also no stranger to further instigating things or making controversial statements either. He had his fair share during the series with Oz and the World XI v/s Australia matches.
I think KP might've shown 'some' promise back then, but it seems clearly not enough to make it to the top levels during that time.
A quote from The Beeb prior to the Champions' Trophy:
' Smith was his country's youngest ever captain at 22. He has no time for whingers, particularly Kevin Pietersen, of whom he said: "I'm patriotic about my country, and that's why I don't like Kevin Pietersen." The respect is mutual, with Pietersen calling Smith an "absolute muppet". '

I agree, it's bad enough when they've gotta wear those weevils stuck to their ears during the daytime, but downright pathetic when they wear them to parties. I used to miscall those weevil-wearing-folks at parties (with my number concealed, of course) just to watch them spastically tapping their headsets when the call would die before they could start a conversation.

ROLMAO!!! I gotta remember that one next time I'm in the company of such BT headset-clad party-goers and/or 'socialites'.

Some Nigerian sleep with their BT headsets. Its some kind of status symbol for some yuppies. What surprises me is someone who works with MTN Nigeria struting about with it.
Please is this info at
wikipedia correct? It gives these figures for the SA networks:
1 Vodacom 20.4m (June 2006)
2 MTN 11.16m (September 2006)
3 Cell C 2.7m

@ Coola, that info seems around about what I have heard every time when subscribers are being compared. Voda did cut off about 2 million recently, so I am not sure if that number is subtracted and all.
I don't think I have ever been to a party where people wore a BT headset...That would be social suicide, even amongst drugged out dopies...(No, the weed is for the cool people, and everyone is cool...except for you...
I think it is just cooler to talk on the phone whenever you can. What the fcuk is your hands going to be busy doing at a party that will cause a problem holding a phone long enough to have a quick conversation. If you are going to be at a party and on the phone, why the heck did you go to the party.
So if they can fit a BT headset into an earring it might become acceptable. Other than that, no....
Oh, quick question: what is that little music application that comes with the W810i? No, not the MusicDJ thing, it is an application in the application folder. Saw it on a friends phone last night. It gives you chords and stuff for guitar, keyboard and all. Any idea where i can get it?

@coola: Those figures are unverified...many of those connections might not be active, I for one have extra MTN and Vodacom simcards which I've not used in months.
