    Hey Guys,

    How are you all? I`ve been a little better, although these headaches on the left side are becoming a 5 to 6x a night accurance... other than that I have been doing alright.

    Got myself a new Nokia E63 mobile phone, like the blackberry, nice little handset, bought the cord to hook it up to the PC, but can't seem to find any games or applications for it, darn it.

    Would like to find a few decent commercial quality themes for it, found freeware theme's online, like over at symbianthemes.com, but they don't have that "Perfecton" touch about them and seem a little buggy..

    Anyway, feel free to point me into the right direction if you have any links to some great theme's, apps n' games..??

    LOL, your forgiven, I myself wanted to know what the heck it was when I was researching to buy the phone, it is a little longer and a tinsy bit wider than those found on other common nokia handsets.

    I rather like this handset, basically a PDA phone, I haven't yet worked out it's capabilities, however I ain't given up hope in searching for some decent games, or even a graphic demo to display its power, it is chockers full of applications, I updated my facebook.com status via the phone the other day, that was pretty neat, however I tryed setting up my E-mail through the phone, but it doesn't seem to want to work for me, even though it's a pop/smtp account, I tried the E-mail wizard as well, still ended up back at square one....

    It's locked to the Vodafone AU Network, maybe that has something to do with it, however, choosing VFAU WAP or VFAU Internet as the access point, still has the phone sitting on "Connecting", just sits and hangs their saying that until I cancel it. May be worth forking out the $60 odd to unlock it, the vodafone 3G network coverage in my area is rather dismall, even though its a 3G handset, I find it uses the GSM network 99% of the time, and when it does go into the UMTS 3G network I am lucky to get 1 signal bar strenght, pity, because I wanted to try out the streaming RealPlayer channels, but I get a bandwidth not strong enough message when I try some on the vodafone.com.au site.

    Still, other than these problems it is a damn good phone and for a mere $199 AUD its a helluva bargain!

    I like the QWERTY keyboard, I was a speed texter, but adapting to a full mini keyboard wasn't as frustrating as I thought, slowly but surely getting their!

    Sincerely,
    David
