I was at work in an electronics showroom. Went down to the TV floor and saw it on the news.

Glad the info. helped! :) I know that Ocean Heights will have hi-speed elevators, but nothing about double decker ones were mentioned. Not sure about the other features, but it will definately be an 'efficent & safe' tower. :) Yes, AEDAS are the architechts - from the Hong Kong office fyi. danny...

As far as I know, each development / property company has specific banks which they accept mortgages from.
I recommend you decide what & where you want to buy first, and then see if mortages from RAK bank are accepted for that project.

Can you connect your phone to the PC?
Either via cable, bluetooth or infra red?
If yes, then just transfer all the contacts to Outlook and then back to your new phone.

Voila.

ineedacoolnick

OR like others suggested...wherever you're buying your new phone from, they'd be happy to transfer your contacts.
However, if someone messes up, you 'may' lose everything so I highly recommend you backup your data yourself.

good luck

Some people say you don't need to in this country, but does it matter if you warm up the engine or not?

Thanks.

I've been here my whole life but never picked up arabic. quite a shame.
it amazes me how some people, especially indians & pakistani's from groceries/cafeterias etc pick up arabic so easily.

If someone has set up a wireless network which requires a key, is there anyway of finding this out?

I ask this because:
1- I want to make sure nobody can use my net connection.
2- in case i need to use someones.

I'm at work on a Friday and there are hardly any posts.
So just wondering and thought I'd start a poll...

ineedacoolnick

Yes, I'm bored and curious...

There was a raindance on Thursday night. Friends went, not sure where it was.
The one or two times I had gone years ago, some girls I was with complained about how guys tried to touch them, feel them, pinch them etc.

Quite a few fights happen too, but yeah overall, it can be lotsa fun!

I USED to receive SMS's from MSN a couple of years ago. I always thought it had stopped coz of MSN.
Should have suspected Etisalat.

So ahamed, if you don't mind letting me know how to receive sms's, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers!

Meaning is self explanatory.
Reason is lack of imagination.

Satellite navigation system?
IE - gps?

any electronic store, including hyper markets like carrefour, costless etc.
check out shops in the malls.

Don't forget you also need to get the CD or DVD with the area/city/country/region road maps...

ineedacoolnick

No, you get them pretty easily.
GPS systems - not a big deal.
Thing is if you're friends buy them from abroad...where do they get the software/maps for this region?
I know for a fact you can buy the systems - portable as well as installable in cars.

Hi,

If I'm using someone's wireless DSL connection, is there any way for him/her to know exactly where I am?

Thanks.

ineedacoolnick

Well its only a temporary 'accident'. I hope.
And i'm sure he doenst have all that equipment if he doesn't bother to put a network key on his router.
Was just thinking if etisalat came along if he complained...

Hi, Does anyone know someone/a few someones who are interested in telesales? I have quite a large database of people I would like them to contact and try & sell property to. They would have to work from home (or wherever they want) and be able to make calls & send emails etc. Payment would b...

Hi,

What kind of cool gadgets do you have, and what can they do?
They could be stand alone gadgets or PC related.

Also, can i borrow them if i wish?

Sorry if there's a similiar post like this.

ineedacoolnick

I said its temporary. And i only use it if i really need to check mails urgently - like for 5-10 mins max. Just used it twice so far. Etisalat suck. I applied about 4 weeks ago or so and they said they dont have enough lines or ports or something on their exchange. Been following up with them but st...

Congrats!

Government health care - some people will say good , some terrible. Private healthcare is alright, I think, but you do hear your negative stories. I say this based on what I know. Thankfully, I've never needed anything major done, and I also wouldn't know how to compare the healthcare here to the UK...

Hi, On Sunday I was caught by radar (I saw the flash) on the way to Al Ain and then again on the way back to Abu Dhabi. :( I was also flashed a few weeks ago on the 17th on the DXB-AUH highway. I've been checking for fines, but nothing has come up yet via sms or the dubai police website. My question...
