    Sounds like you are not sure if you NEED a phone built-in to that PDA either. It will be two completely different lines of products you can look at... with WiFi Pure PDA: Palm TX, LifeDrive, iPaq hx2000-series, etc... Phone + PDA: Sony Ericsson P990, O2 Atom (no keyboard), O2 Neo (no keyboard), HTC Tytn (3G), Nokia N80 (no touch screen nor QWERTY keyboard), E61 (no touch screen nor camera) Those pure PDAs all have Bluetooth, so they can team up with a Bluetooth mobile phone to do e-mail/internet with. This way you can have a cheaper/smaller mobile phone when you don't need the e-mail/internet stuff with you. I've probably confused you with the choices, but I guess it comes down to what you ultimately want in this purchase. You can have everything one 1 piece of equipment at the expense of size and battery life or flexibility of having 2 devices with better bettery life and more portability. Price wise, everything we talked about here are range from $685 (e61) up to $1350 (TyTn). You are welcome to PM or e-mail me if you like.

    Did you mean GPRS ? I didn't think 6365 has a proper satellite-based GPS (Global Positioning System) built-in. If you really want GPS, maybe wait for Nokia N95 but it doesn't have touch screen. HP 6365 is quite dated now, do you mind the size of the 6365? There are smaller ones available and if you don't mind bigger size, there are some bigger (read: bulkier) units that comes with a keyboard like QTek 9100; There are little ones that is tiny (O2 Stealth) or "medium" ones like O2 Neo which don't have QWERTY heyboard built-in. I manage a mobile phone store, so actually, Before going into what model you want to choose, maybe I'll ask you these first... Do you have other requirements besides the above? What do you want to do with the PDA? Will you be mostly reading info from it or will you change/add stuff (like appointments) during the day? Do you NEED WiFi, because if you do, you will limit yourself to only a few models. Almost all WiFi PDAs has poor battery life especially if you use WiFi quite a bit, are you prepare for this?

    EARTHQUAKE!

    Thought it was just me, I only had a couple of drinks!
  7. Don't know anything free, but this one is dirt cheap. Hope that helps. http://www.servage.com/
  8. Idiot... should have suspend 1 year if not more.
  9. The wordings under the CGA specifically exclude anything purchased for business use. But if a seller is misleading, be it the performance or description, then it would be a violation under Fair Trading Act regardless of what the goods are used for by the buyer.
  10. As if it has a chance of catching that up if it wasn't the truck at the end. I guess it's still in developement or final testing seeing the BMW badge was blacked out in the shot.
  11. Take them out and have a look! Seeing you've got one of the later model e36, it's likely to be 5.25" all round.
  12. Stupidity? Arrogance? You'd be the judge. This is exactly why SUV kills. Photo's taken at a 80km/h zone.
  13. Maybe get there with a near empty petrol tank?

    M50 vs. M52

    M52 has VANOS, more fuel economical and more torque at lower rev. Not sure about M52, but I read S52 (M3 EVO engine) can have stuck/faulty VANOS overseas.
  15. Might have a different exhaust tip. e36 are not equiped with strat braces from factory. Convertibles have X-brace on front sub-frame though. Again, motorsport or not. LSD is not standard for normal E36, motorsport or not, the only e36 that has LSD is M3. <-- someone confirm this pls? Easy way to find out is to put the car in neutral, jack the rear up and rotate one of the rear wheel. If the other rotate the opposite way, you have LSD.
  16. It's not so much that you are not allow to cut corners, it just that you should drive within your own lane regardless of visibility. That's what the lines are there for. It's a fine of $150 for failed to stay within your own lane. (From program Police 10-7) I also quote Jeremy Clarkson, "Speed doesn't kill, it only kills when you suddenly comes to a halt." Edit: typo

    car covers

    Why would someone wrap their house? or am I getting it wrong?
  18. Silly question... Are the real BBS ones that much better given the price difference? (never had aftermarket wheels on any of my cars, so..)
  19. Motorsport usually refer to body kit, suspension, seats and badges. Engines are the same between motorsport and normal.
  20. I asked AA about classic insurance for my Mini, limited to 5000km per year, full cover, full NCD, park in garange, agreed value of $3500 and cost $85 per year. They say other than milage, there's no difference from the normal insurance. Smallish coupe, how about another E30? Does it has to be a bimmer? Bimmer coupe don't get much smaller than a e30. (there's 2002 and e21, but that's getting a bit silly as a daily car)
  21. Got hook-ups if anyone wants to buy them. 250-ish for business 32 bit, 350-ish for ultimate 32-bit. 64 bit cost extra 20 bucks.
  22. There's some light tube that is already orange to make the dashboard light up evenly with just a few bulbs. It works by the principle similar to fibre-optics X'mas tree. You might be able to change colour by changing the colour of the bulb, but not sure how well it will work though.

    Fuel Type

    Put the best fuel you can afford in there. There's a lot of discussion on this topic here before. Summary is... 1. BMW will run fine on 91, but with less power. Could mean you use more throttle mean more fuel. 2. BMW will run well on 95/96 which is what they suppose to. 3. If you can put 98 in, you get a bit extra horsepower, engine run smoother, brah brah brah.
  24. Everything normal for me, if anything I feel IE7 is faster. Except it alway ask me to log-on when I switch from laptop to desktop or back even if I save password.
