@786KBR: Any
beta testers in SA? I knew my friend da wirelessmonkey always got the phones before they were widely released in SA. Are there people who get the phones months before their European releases?
Yip the testers get them first, like the Z610 was first recieved on the 18/08/06 but then the progress in testing the dates get updated.

I'm sure there are quite a few folks on this thread who wouldn't mind being beta testers, and i'm certain a few of us would really put those new phones thru their paces, and then some.

Got some good news bro!!! The W950 is out on Vodacom contract, it's gonna set you back though.
I need you guy's help! I can now get the
W950 but it's gonna set me back R2100 on a weekender+ package, now i have a few options.
1. I can change contract to the buisiness topup 315 and end up paying an extra R60 over the usual phone bill (usually around R300 inc insurance) and get the W950 for about R1500.
2. I can get the M600 for R300 on the weekender+ and a 1gig memory stick micro for about R500, so i'd probably be able to get about 3 gigs
3. I can get a P990 for about R300 more than the W950 and be stuck with 60megs memory.
What should I do??? If i can get someone to give me quickoffice, pdf+ and the translator then i think i'll stick with the w950 and just pay up.
PS. the contract i'm talking above is my mom's not mine.

Guys should note that phones in the beta testing phase are prone to bugs...so basically your work as a beta tester is check for bugs big and small that might have slipped through in factory testing.
In the same breath
unleashes something like the P990i- after three fw updates it's still comes with bugs.

Not really, theres 2 firmwares out for the P990 atm, branded which is total crap and the generic version thats working fine.
Theres no other firmware out in SA.

Nice pics there Francois, you should put them up in the photo section so that we can rate them.

Nice pics indeed; without trying to sound so cliched about sunset photos, that pic of yours really is bril. Nice sepia effect suits the band rehearsal pic; could almost imagine such a pic on the back of some 'unplugged' album of sorts.
@ da brixsta,
Yup, I guess it's been a while since I was last 'true to my avatar';
I'll be a retro-wanqa for now...
