I'm hoping I'll be able to put a Pay-you-go, Irish Vodafone Sim card into it without any operating problems. Have you heard anything to the contrary? In case anyone is visiting Austria: I was in a store in Salzburg today and could have bought an unlocked 3GS 16 gig for 800 euro. It was their last one. Store guys told me they could order the 32 gig one for me and have it in three weeks. 32 gig costs 900 euro - still way cheaper than buying even the 8 gig in Ireland. Thanks for all your info.

In addition to Teflon skin, I'd say an additional, erm... quality is <i>pelo sullo stomaco</i>, literally a fur-lined, or rather, hair-lined stomach, metaphorically the ability to "digest" anything without experiencing any pangs of conscience.

Maybe it 'made my cry with laughter', but that's not right. 'I had/started to laugh to stop myself from crying', may be one way to say what you thought in Italian. Whatever, glad it led to a laugh, if if it was rather hollow. Best, Alex Hi Elisa,

While I understand the sense of “ridere per non piangere”, I’m not so sure of the translation, or better, interpretation. Maybe it ‘made my cry with laughter’, but that’s not right.

‘I had/started to laugh to stop myself from crying’, may be one way to say what you thought in Italian.

Whatever, glad it led to a laugh, if if it was rather hollow.

Best,

Though now I'm left wondering how to translate properly "ridere per non piangere" into English. It's what first came to mind when I read this post. This is absolutely brilliant.
