LG KU990R (Viewty) does anyone have it?

I own a LG KU990R or better known as the Viewty.
Its an amazing phone, but quite limited in terms of customization (themes).
So i was browsing the interweb when i came upon an awesome forum
which had detailed instruction on how to install a makeshift theme manager which supports multiple themes. The number one rule when playing around and modding expensive gadgetry is backup backup backup.
This is when my story gets ugly. Living in negombo, powercuts are not unusual. It so happened that as i was backing up my phones firmware the electricity disappeared rendering my phone useless. For 5 minutes i had in my hand a very expensive paperweight. I did some more research on the forum i was telling you about and found that i could download new firmware and flash it to my phone. But life decided it wasn't going to be fair to me. My phone model is KU990R and the only firmware available was for my phones slightly older brother the KU990 (no R =D) The firmwares weren't completely compatible but it was possible to use it albeit some technical problems, which in my case was the camera and usb mass storage mode.
woe is me...... after more searching on the web i find someone who had my same phone and was willing to upload his firmware so i can download it. The fate of my phone now lies in the hands of a Sergei from somewhere in Russia. He said he was busy at the moment and he would upload it soon.
2 weeks pass and nothing. He wont return my e-mails either :(
If anyone out there has a KU 990R or knows someone who does, please get in touch with me.

I've been gone quite a while now na?
Miss you guys! Life is going on as usual, apart from a few changes...... like quiting my job at The Beach and deciding to stay here in Sri lanka instead of going to Australia.Anyways, I've shifted to a new house in Negombo, Kurana to be exact. Its By the Negombo lagoon and has a pool =D.
I've been stuck in my mums office......indefinitely. She fractured her foot and i have to help her move around in the factory, so im on the net like for 10 hours. Theres nothing else to do but check my mail every 10 minutes hehe. How jobless I've become.
I really miss my friends! Kanya, Shaneen, Nikki! If you're reading this "I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!"
I'll be going to ACBT from march. Travelling is going to be a bitch.
Wow....i really dont know what else to say. My brain is not functioning as well as it used to.
Forgive the half-assed attemp at a post.

closing cycles.....

Browsing the interweb couple of days ago, I stumbled upon a very straightforward and enlightening piece of writing by Paulo Coelho. It woke me up to my situation and though Im still not ready to make that final step, its help me understand more.
closing cycles - Paulo Coelho
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you wonÂt take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a
standstill.
None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot forever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.
That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the
books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts - and getting rid of
certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop
turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions
that are always put off waiting for the Âideal moment. Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has
passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.
