there is a small section near top of doc thread with suggestion of which modem might have best battery life. HTPC - Intel i3-2100 / 12GB / 13TB Storage / HD4670 / HVR2200 / Win 7 x64 + MediaPortal 1.3 Final PC - Intel e8600 / 8GB / HD5830 / Win7 x64

Well from what I've read in thread it's worked pretty much 100% of the time for people in the same situation as me. So fingers crossed it does, although I have zero soldering experience. If it does work I'll be damn happy tomorrow, nearly had a heart attack when I saw the screen pop up. Will be sticking to stock roms for a while atleast.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I took a copy of my titanium backup and put it on my PC - now I want to use it to restore apps only (it was an Eclair backup, and restoring to Froyo), but I can't get Titanium to see the backup directory? Also, I thought App Brain would've told me I was missing all my apps that were sync'd to it when I re-downloaded it? Or have I misunderstood how App Brain works? Just concerned that I can't get my paid apps back without paying again!!! Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own.

App Brain wont forget your purchased apps, just sign in with your google account and they will be available for download.

Hay guys, I am thinking of buying I9000 from clove and I am just curious if anybody bought this phone from clove recently. I want to know whether people get charge for GST by custom recently or is it still a 'luck' thing with Airsure tracked mail? Because if the custom do charge GST, then I might as well get it from expert infotech or something

I got a couple of Galaxy's from Noel Lemming on special for $799 for guys at work. Ask them if they can match EKing or at least do $799 again.

I think with Clove you're paying for guaranteed quality product and after sale service. with one of the online NZ stores with dodgy reputations what you get delivered is what you are stuck with.

lokhor: I think with Clove you're paying for guaranteed quality product and after sale service. with one of the online NZ stores with dodgy reputations what you get delivered is what you are stuck with. And Clove will very quickly rectify any problems for you (As NZTechFreak can testify); the cheap & cheerful e-tailers here tend to become cheap and nasty (and suddenly unable to speak English) if there's a problem. Caveat Emptor. Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own.
