[marwan]

[carcomptoy]

[shaheen]

lol. im here. im good man. thanks. just been busy with my girl during the holidays. plus trying to sell off my 903 and get something else. what you been doing? been thrashing the M5 lately?

[Box215]

wait, why are you selling your 903? i mean i guess once you get past the camera and screen, there isnt much there?

[shaheen]

i sell cause i can :). and i get bored :(

[marwan]

lol. im here. im good man. thanks. just been busy with my girl during the holidays. plus trying to sell off my 903 and get something else. what you been doing? been thrashing the M5 lately?


cool. so how is the 903? yikes, selling it already? :eek: no good? or did you get bored of it already?(As usuall) ....it's a pretty big phone i tell yah! and im surprised the photos are not that much better than the SE K750 ones.

M5 is doing great man :) ...recently installed 2 child seats for my twin girls! ;)

did i tell you i sold my old M5 and got a different color?(i got bored of silver grey 2 months later).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/mplayer74/ssfront1.jpg

it's Silverstone II, silver with a touch of baby blue. for the most part it's silver, the blue part only shows when when it's a bit dark out, kindda like at sunset.

here is another picture(not my car, just to show you the color since i dont have any other pic besides the top one)...

[shaheen]

aaww.congrats on teh girls. yeah im selling out of boredom.

[marwan]

aaww.congrats on teh girls. yeah im selling out of boredom.


thanks! ;)


man you should always keep an extra phone around incase you get bored with one, atleast that's what i do.

so what was it that bored you with the 903? it's quiet on the bulky side for sure. how is the UI? slow? fast? lag?

[shaheen]

yeah, i wana get an extra phone, but really tight on cash, im actually gona downgrade after the 903.. need money badly. wat bored me of the 903 was probably the build quality and design.. its just so..bleh.. and the mp3 player is pretty much useless considering the standard headphones suck and i cant add on my own ones without buyin an adapter from freaking japan.. im thinking of the slvr or something. just something cheap

[marwan]

slvr what?

[shaheen]

motorola Slvr L7. its pretty good

[marwan]

motorola....yuck!

[shaheen]

yeah i know. but im on a budget and i wana slim phone :(

[marwan]

yeah i know. but im on a budget and i wana slim phone :(


get the SE K750, it's a 100000000000 times better than moto garbage!

[shaheen]

i know. but im on a major budget.. k750 is out of price range :( plus ive owned it before. want to get something new. wat phone you got now?

[hotzigetty]

Sheesh!!! get a room people!!! ;)

[marwan]

i know. but im on a major budget.. k750 is out of price range :( plus ive owned it before. want to get something new. wat phone you got now?


i'm using the silver K750, i love it. I also have the Nokia 6680 which my wife is using since she previously got the samsung D600 and absolutely hated it, samsung UI is totally crap!!!! :mad: ...can you beleive that the phone does not save "sent" messages when you hit "send" unless you click "send and save" WTF? :mad: ....it's sad, yet funny! there tons of annoying and missing basic features such as, you cannot copy contacts from phone to SIM, the only way you can do it is by installing the CD that came with the phone, how retarded is that?

anyways, the K750 is a keeper, im getting the 6280(whenever it finally decides to show up)...and then the N80....and maybe the SE P990 :)

i have learned my lesson, the only 2 phone brand names worth buying are Nokia and Sony Ericsson.....the rest can go to hell for all i care.

[brad]

Can I interject for a second? Marwan, you put a bottle of water on your Porsche? Man, nothing gets put on my Bimmer...

[Box215]

cool brad, all the people i know refer to BMW cars incorrectly as "Beemers" instead of "Bimmers"

[carcomptoy]

LOL well that's how Car and Driver says it...actually, they clarified it once in response to a letter. You spell it "Bimmer" but you pronounce it "Beemer":D

[brad]

cool brad, all the people i know refer to BMW cars incorrectly as "Beemers" instead of "Bimmers"
I guess thats the difference between someone that just owns a BMW, and someone that loves their BMW.

[carcomptoy]

LOL yes go for the elitist attitude;):p

[brad]

LOL yes go for the elitist attitude;):p
Dang, I don't mean to sound elitist, I just love my car.

[carcomptoy]

hehe I'm just teasing...I love my baby too...now if I could just personalize it:cool:

[brad]

who cares, it's my brothers car! :P
Oh, well thats alright then, I was a little worried ;)

[marwan]

yeah. id like to go bak to k750..but 1)no money 2)i had that phone before. dont wana get somethign ive had.


i bought the 6680 again since it seems like the 6280 will take it's sweet time to come out.

[hotzigetty]

I thought it was released!! Doesnt jose_ram have it??

[marwan]

I thought it was released!! Doesnt jose_ram have it??


yah like you can only buy it from two coutries in this entire planet! :mad:

[carcomptoy]

I would've thought that that would not have mattered to you...seems like you usually get what you want. Go take a vacation in the UK and get the phone:p

[malik]

yo wat up
how are you?

[marwan]

I would've thought that that would not have mattered to you...seems like you usually get what you want. Go take a vacation in the UK and get the phone:p


yah i have reserved my flight to london to go buy the 6280, untill i realized it doesn't have an arabic keypad! :(

[shaheen]

youre making me want the 6280 now

[hotzigetty]

Isnt that not an option!!???

[shaheen]

lol gd point

[marwan]

youre making me want the 6280 now


hehehe, seriously man, get the 6280, or go back to the K750 if you can, a moto is simpley a disaster, and i know you're much classier than to own a moto! :)

btw, im also considering the W900, i know i said it's ugly, but the white one looks hot and sexy! ....i raided every store in the UAE and all they have is the ugly black one! :( ....damn you vodaphone, they have an exclusivity on the white one till march or so. as you can see, the 6280 is driving me nuts, the bugger better show up soon.

[shaheen]

im much more classier than alot of phones. but my budget isnt :(. im aiming at this other phone like the slvr. different brand tho its called Linx M1168.

http://www.worldexonline.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=detail&id=553799&product=642

pictures at the bottom links. its exactly the same build. but 1.3mp cam and more memory plus its smaller and cheaper. i know its a long shot going for unknown brand but i really need a good phone on the budget.

but after seeing the Rokr E2 im getting a bit more interested, their new menu iis seriously so awesoem looking, reminds me of a smartphone but its not. so its really good plus stable. plus teh E2 will be cheap. one thing about motorola phones prices drop like anything really quickly. and also the E2 uses SD card,(cheap) and has a 3.5mm jack plus its a music phone plus it has A2dp! its awesome. but wat i will miss is the slimness. i really want a slim phone

[marwan]

whats A2dp?

[jayesh]

whats A2dp?
stereo over bluetooth ... nokia just released a headset for i think

[marwan]

interesting. but i would like iPod with blutooth to stream music to my M5(or any other BT enabled car)

[hotzigetty]

Well u can use the radio thingy with ur ipod and ur m5's radio..

[marwan]

Well u can use the radio thingy with ur ipod and ur m5's radio..


radio tramsmitters sound crappy. i'm using the auxilliary in my car which sounds awesome! if BT sounds good, that would be great, if not, im sticking to my aux for not, untill BMW brings out the iPop integration for the 5 series/M5.

[hotzigetty]

Im sure there's something out there...

[phoney]

Air Logic icombi AP11 = ipod bluetooth dongle.

[marwan]

motorola Slvr L7. its pretty good


shaheen i just saw the L7 at a mobile store today, and wow it looks awesome! ...but the phon seems to have basic features which turned me off completely.....VGA cam? WTF! :mad:

i remember using my friends moto razr briefly and i wasn't impressed by the UI and screen at all. is the L7 the same in a different shell? also, does the L7 have the new moto UI?

I had a nightmare using samsung UI(D600), is the moto UI any better?

[hotzigetty]

Nope the l7 has the same old crappy moto ui.. and the cam sucks..

[shaheen]

yeah it does. but the new motorola menu is awesome. it reminds me so much of smartphone but its not.

[stars]

whats A2dp?

its a bluetooth profile that allows you to stream stereo sound to stereo headphones

e.g the stereo headphones like those in the motorola E680i

[marwan]

yeah it does. but the new motorola menu is awesome. it reminds me so much of smartphone but its not.

i would have been all over it if it had 3G, a 2MP cam. but coming from a K750 which is far more superior than this i'd pass. thought the L7 sedign is sexy.

did you say the L7 uses the new UI? how is it improved compared to the older one? also is it fast and lag free?

[hotzigetty]

it IS the same old UI

[shaheen]

L7 is old menu. only the upcoming E2 and the A910 motorola linux phone with wifi is new menu.

@ Stars: im beginning to doubt the e680i has a2dp. i cannot find any info on it being used with a2dp headphones.

[marwan]

a2dp is nice, but a bit late for my since i got my iPod hooked to my car using the auxilliary input from my car, and using the sound dock that attaches to the sound out from the bottom part of my iPod. i'm definately getting the best sound possible.

[hotzigetty]

What system does ur m5 have??

[shaheen]

i dont really care for AUX. thats still using wires. the whole point of a2dp is wireless stereo audio

[marwan]

What system does ur m5 have??


Harmon Kardon(Logic 7)

[hotzigetty]

Cool!!

[marwan]

Cool!!


it's bangin' i tell yah.


my old major grip and complaint, is the iDrive. i just like old fashioned buttons on the dash instead of navigating to a billion menus to switch CDs, or change the weather climate in the car. and worst of all, iDrive is based on (get ready for this one) WINDOWS AUTOMOBILE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/sad/mecry.gif

[hotzigetty]

Seems windows is gonna follow us everywhere!!

[marwan]

Seems windows is gonna follow us everywhere!!


the worst part that it lags everytime u click on an options! :(

[hotzigetty]

The idrive seems to be one thing everyone hates in the new BMWs

[carcomptoy]

Yeah...definitely a big no-no for me...hehe seems only Lexus hasn't adopted the all-in-one controlling system:D

I love Japanese cars:D

[marwan]

on the new 3 series iDrive is an option for you information.

[carcomptoy]

Well I know the 3 series doesn't come with the iDrive standard...but I'm saying as in a manufacturer as a whole:cool:

[hotzigetty]

The one on the new vectra sucks!!
