I'm still enjoying the N73's macro mode abilities. Here's a delightful piece of info for the day, which obviously relates to these pics:
The word 'orchid' comes from the Latin word 'orchis' or Greek word 'orkhis', which means...testicle! LOL, no I'm not tuning you guys twak here, it's dinkum. Look it up if you wish. This species of flora got the name because of the shape of their globular root tubers...
Now, I wonder how many people who have orchids actually know that...

Howzit Gucci.
Ya, it's been quiet around these parts for a good part of the weekend.
Have you managed to fill up most of that big 1Gig memory card with music yet?
@ da brixsta,
Hmm, LOL, that's an interesting point you made there. Still, they set a massive 300+ total for NZ to chase today and NZ pulled it off...but yes, the Oz bowling etc. wasn't really firing like they usually seem to be able to...
I just hope the ranking doesn't get to the heads of the SA team, who have a chequered reputation for coping under pressure, and Oz know we are probably their biggest threat.
That's not to say that SA has not developed the way/ways to handle psychological and pressure situations (I think back to that awesome match against the convicts last year..), but who knows...

@ Gucci,
That's so true; I mean that's roughly 7500 songs on a 30 Gig...! And then there's some mp3 players with even more than that...
I have a decent amount of CD's and mp3's that I have accumulated over the years, but I still don't think that it would equate to anything near 7500 songs in total...
Taking loads of high-res pics usually end up taking more memory in my phones than what the total amount of mp3's do, but that's just me.

@ Gucci,
I seldom use the video function, but for my intents and purposes, I'm happy with it, definitely better than the Nokia 3230 that I had previously.
However, the N93 has the upper hand if you're after video.
This will speak for itself:
The N93's video mode is able to capture a fantastic 30 fps and at a resolution of 640 x 480...whereas the N73's res in video mode is 352 x 288.
That's if one can live with a particularly heavy and bulky handset, with that substantial housing at the top which contains that cam with optical zoom...
Both have Carl Zeiss lenses.

WOW! thats hectic! lol ive got a W900 so im fine with a big heavy phone,im just nt al dat happy with the W900 video recording,it does 30fps bt stil nt dat wel IMO, and wen i saw N93 video i was blown away so i thought maybe the N73 is around the same,bt i c nw N93 is in a league of its own, wudnt mind one lol, Does the fact they are Carl Zeiss Optics make much of a diff compared to other camera phones (is it beta)? i saw that the N90 lost against W800 wen it came to pic quality and giving pics that are more realistic. lol hav yol seen the thread about the NOKIA 6280 exploding? it reminds of wat was happnin last year wit da Exploding Laptops
If yol saw that1 on the news

@ Gucci,
To be honest I don't think the lens on a cellphone, at this stage, plays such a pivotal role; Zeiss are indeed known for the quality and calibre of their lenses, and this will win loadsa extra brand-name brownie points in the all-important phone-specs game.
The K800i and earlier K750i and W800i etc, as you know, can clearly (pun?)hold their own when compared to a N73, sans the Zeiss bits.
Yeah, I checked that exploding 6280 thread out...
Cue The Mask's voice: "Sssssmokin'!!!"

Watching the vid made me think back to my first car 13 years ago, the hideously crap CVH-engined Ford Escort 1600 Sport... I vowed to never ever buy a Ford again...

Hell no; clever marketing of the "1-6-double 'O' Sport" and XR3i adverts when I was in early high school in the mid-80's helped sales, but the legendary Golf GTi was already kicking arse back then.
The Ford XR3i in particular targeted the boy racer wannabe's, and compared to even the early GTi's, that's all they were in comparison:...wannabe's.
The old cast iron Kent motors in the earlier Fords were far more durable and solid, but those lame CVH motors in the Fords were a flawed pieces of kakka.
If only I did more investigating and research before I bought it back then...; I learnt a good few hard but very, very valuable lessons with that car. All I could then do was put it down to 'experience', learn (the hard way) from mistakes...and move on.
BTW, I really dig the new GTi Golfs, even though I'm not that into cars.
I'm sure 786KBR will be the guy who'll know GTi's inside out.
