Even if my phone was not on the list of supported phones I was able to install it ( despite the warnings thatn my phone model is not compactible)
and it was running fine in a few minutes. I tested with several codes I found on the web and it works fine.

As Dubstep is one of my favourite music style lately I am very happy to find out that local Dubstep Here Orson, is doing another event this December in Salon des Amateurs , one of Düsseldorfs finest clubs and my favourite location ..this time featuring Benni ILL from UK, after SKREAM and DIGITAL MYSTIKZ mashed up the place.
I highly recommend this event , and everyone who was at the last Dubstep Partys in Salon des Amateurs

The results are posted to flickr:
