Just saw the Nokia N81 in the flesh today. Quite a nice phone, esp after people saying it had bad build quality. Pity it has a bad camera on the back.

@Soane: Where did you see that?! I really wish I didn't live in crappy old Christchurch sometimes!
@carkitter, any progress with the T650i?

No problem
The one on trademe could always come in cheaper, as its only at $345 at the moment. But then it does sound like its second hand. I'd still buy from an importer instead.
Let me know how you get on at Expert Infotech, as I might be using their services sometime soon!

Couldn't get there today as I had to work at the last minute so I'll try to get there next week.

Fair enough! I'm still interested to know what they're like. I'll be waiting for your verdict lol.

Looked in the Vbox this afternoon:
Your Offers
There'll be more exclusive v.box offers coming your way soon!
We'll send you an email to let you know when there are fresh offers to be collected from your v.box.
That means they're getting ready to dump some slow moving or old stock. Can't wait!
Guess what snuck into the Vodafone site! Vodafone Family is a You Choose add-on for $20 per month where you nominate 3 other Vodafone mobile numbers and the four of you get 'Best Mate style' unlimited calling within the group! This is something that Vodafone UK have been doing for sometime with groups of 4 and 6 people for up to 7 GB pounds. About time! This could save me some money...
Who says On-Account plans are too expensive in NZ? Not me!
Landline - who needs it!

Hmmm... let me guess... Phones carkitter will see in his v.box:
W950i
W880i
K800i
And with the new Vodafone offer, it sounds interesting, but its not for me! I only call one person!
Posted by carkitter
Plus a few Motos and maybe the Nokia E65 and N95?
Should be interesting...
It's all happening now. New add-ons, discounts, maybe a new range of
phones?????? We shall see. Anyone got the new MyMobile mag yet? I'd better get mine tomorrow.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
It should be pretty exciting for you. Luck b******...
Yep I keep meaning to get the new MyMobile. I guess I'll be getting it tomorrow as well!

Yay I finally joined the >500 club!
Lol, just needed to let that out somewhere! Somewhere where I'm not going to get my head bitten off for being happy about it!
It took me long enough huh? Although about 80% of those posts were made within the last 3-4 months. Before that I had maybe around 80 posts that were made about 2 years previously!
Anyways... Back to business...

@JiSm: So are you saying you're a fellow NZer?
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Wow finally! I've been checking the Vodafone online store daily for a month or more now and they've finally had an SE surge! See 4 new SE phones here!
So we have the Havana Gold V640i at $399 (Surprised at how cheap this one is!), the Sandy Beige K770i at $599 (Worth the $200 premium over the K800i? I don't think so!), the Havana Bronze W910i at $799 (*whistles* I'll be surprised if this one sells.), aaaand the Velvet Blue K850i at a massive $999 (I honestly expected it to be cheaper, this is daylight robbery!).
Ah well, I'm glad to see them all the same.
Won't be buying them though.
It does make me wonder though... What would one of us New Zealanders in-the-know do if they wanted, say, a K850i?
We can get it on Vodafone for $999 and enjoy Vodafone's customer support and the phone being ready to use with Vodafone's network (video calling works, no need for set-up, etc.), but put up with the Vodafone branding and the empty wallet.
Or we can get it from an importer/trademe/overseas. The K850i is selling for $679 at Expert Infotech, $749 at Parallel Imported (the most trustworthy importer in my opinion), or $770 at Etown. This way has benefits... You save up to $320 and you get no branding. But buying this way means a non-NZ charger with probably a dodgey adapter, limited or no customer support (no peace of mind), and needing to set the phone up to work properly (and maybe sacrificing a few features).
What way would you guys go? I guess if I were keen on these phones, I'd take the Vodafone just so I can sleep easy lol. I don't like the premium I pay though.

Sure am!
With your post below, just get the K850 from the cheapest place possible and spend $40 out of the $$$ you save on a standard SE Charger (Genuine tho).
PS: To buy K850i here is 250Quid or $660ish NZD.
I got the K850 and its MEAN! I use the MBW-100 Bluetooth watch with it too. SE so kicks ass man. I worked for Telecom NZ for 6 years before I came to UK and Nokia dominated NZ the whole time. There was a surge of SE but it never lasted. Things will be changing... you will see...
Is the W960 out there yet?
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah I'm not really sure I want the K850i, but it would be the one I get out of the ones Vodafone sells right now. If I was to but an import, I'd probably wait for the W890i. But yeah, that is a good idea about the charger.
And damn, I always wanted one of those watches!
So how is your K850i? Do you find it to be buggy like everyone else seems to? I don't want the K850i unless I can be sure its not buggy. Also those touch keys put me off. There are reports of people's dying on them.
Nah no W960 yet, unfortunately. I don't think we will see it too soon either. I really want to see the W890i.
I shall add you to the NZer list!

New range arrives! WooHoo! Go
The V640i is looking good. Should sell ok to non-SE owners. I can't see any K610/V630/V800 owners upgrading to this. It's mainly V630i + radio + HSDPA + new styling, I think? K770i is widely regarded as being a K800 minus a few Cybershot software features and styling of the buttons is pretty average. It'll be a bargain when price drops to $399 or less. Can W910i back up its premium positioning? I don't think so, not with 2.0Mp and no Wifi or TV out. Looks like a competitor for the overpriced, underfeatured Moto RISR/RAZR/KRZR products. Not a good move for SE to copy Moto ATM
At $999 K850i hits N95 head on and this is not a good idea IMO. 
$799 - $849 would have been better. I couldn't buy K850i over the N95 so if I wanted K850i specifically, low price would be important so an importer would be the go... unless I was renewing my On Account plan and could negotiate a decent discount. Still 14 months to go on my plan so T650 here I come.

I completely agree with you. The V640i is definitely not much of an upgrade from the V630/K610/V600/V800. You're right about the features, it also has A200 platform but I don't think many NZers are so into SE phones that they'd take it for that reason! The only reason I won't get a K770i or T650i is because they don't have A200 though lol. But thats because I want the very latest I can get! SE's NZ prices need to come down a lot before they are going to sell, and I know they can do it. Overseas, the prices are close to half the price we get them for.

Hello fellow New Zealanders! this is an awesome site huh? Im a huge fan of sony ericsson, got a K800i at the mo, but really really want a K850i!!

@samo nz; welcome, always nice to have more NZ'ers here.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
@samo_nz: Welcome mate. Where in NZ are you from? I am from Christchurch. I was looking at getting the K850i too, but in my opinion, the $999 price is not justifiable. I am instead looking at the W910i now, as the camera is not important to me.

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Anyone noticed there's more new additions to the Vodafone NZ range?
Well, to start, the W880i has been removed from the VF online shop, and the W950i has been put back in, oddly. Plus they removed the V640i, which is presumably a mistake unless they are out of stock! I was at Northlands (my local shopping mall) today and saw dummies for the W910i, K850i, K770i and V640i and they all look really awesome. Can't wait to upgrade from my V630i next week!
Anyway, the additions are a few Nokias including the N81SD ($899), which I presume means it has an SD card (2GB). I like this phone, I think it looks stylish in that shiny black. Also the Nokia N95 8GB has finally hit our shores at a whopping $1399 (would you pay a $400 premium for black and 4GB?)! @carkitter, that N95 in your V.Box is looking even more likely!
I can't tell if any other Nokias are new or not as I don't check often enough. But I must say, I saw an N81 dummy today too, and it looks awesome, though I don't like the gaming keys with the symbols on them which are far too large
I think these Nokias and SEs are the extent of the additions to the VF range.
Enjoy.

Are you going to take along your V630i to the photography course? I wonder what they'd think of that!
My wife turned in some Flybuys points + some cash and picked up a 8.1Mp Sony Cybershot DSC-H3 digital camera today. Just waiting for the battery to charge...
Still nothing in the Vbox. With the N95 8gig at $1399, I guess the old N95 will maintain its $999 tag.
Has anyone tried Windows Media Player 10 with thier
phone? Seems to work a treat! I much prefer this to iTunes.

Ooh, a DSLR! Nice. That should be better than most people's cameras at your photography course I'd expect! So what's it like? I bet it takes some excellent looking shots!
I'd say the N95 8GB won't stay at that price for long, it has to drop in price to sell, in my opinion. And when it does, the original will have to drop too... That's about the time I'd expect to see it in your V.Box!
Nah, I haven't tried WMP 10, coz mines a Mac and I don't use my Dad's Vista desktop or laptop often.
Getting a W910i next week!
Posted by carkitter
It looks like a DSLR but it's not. Its better than a standard Compact camera but not as good as a DSLR. Sort of medium spec. Can't wait to try it though.
Just loaded all the Cybershot photo management software - phew! The missus also splashed out on a 2 GB MSDP aswell. Next on the list will be my T650, I hope.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
That sounds pretty nice, for me it's so annoying to wait for something to charge before trying it. I always want to turn it on and try it asap! I didn't even use the Cybershot photo software that came with mine, partly because Sony doesn't support Macs whatsoever, and partly because I don't feel I need it. The cameras work like a flash drive and I already have Photoshop. So what's the software like?
So the T650i is definite now? Where are you getting it? I've seen some really good looking pics of the phone on Esato recently... Jealous...
Posted by carkitter
Yeah I've settled on the T650, subject to availability. I'll save up over the next few weeks and get it from E.I. if they get it back in stock. I'll go for the blue colour. It's much better looking than the K800i with similar spec and produces outstanding photos from what I've seen here on Esato. This should keep me happy until the 5Mp, Wifi equipped C902 is released!
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Man thats pretty exciting. I like the blue colour best as well. If E.I. don't have stock, etown have it fairly cheap as well.
I'm getting all my holiday pay paid out from work next week and so I'll be able to afford a non-parallel import W910i. This should keep me happy for a good year or so until I upgrade, possibly to something like the C902 as well, but I'll see whats around! Are you sure it has WiFi though? I don't think it does...
Posted by carkitter
I think you're right, it's the G900 that has Wifi. I hope they incorporate Wifi into the C902 as I like it's styling better and not particularly worried about touchscreen.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah well there is the rumoured WiFi accessory, though I think that's a bit of a laugh.
Interesting news for prepay Vodafone customers which I found out today at First Mobile. Well it's news to me! Apparently as a prepay customer, you can be eligible for an upgrade, that's a discount on a new phone.
So next time you're in for a new phone, it might be worth a check. They checked both my prepay numbers but unfortunately I can't get one. So it's probably unlikely, yet worth a try!
As for the W910i, apparently some shops are treating it as an order-only phone. That's what my local Noel Leeming says. They say they can negotiate on the price though, so I'm hopeful! Hehe.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I've just added a "New Zealand Threads of Interest" section to the first post. At the moment it includes humphreybc's "Vodafone vs Telecom" thread, and carkitter's "Team Vodafone 2007 thread". Sure it's the 2007 thread, but it's still a good read!
I've also added to the rumour that there are sheep everywhere in New Zealand.
If you want anything else added, just let me know!
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Guess what I have in my pocket!
A Havana Bronze W910i
Costed me $724 so you better be excited for me!
And you have no idea how much I went through to get it.
I went to First Mobile across town from my house and successfully negotiated the price down by $75. I noticed when he got the box out, that he randomly had it below the counter and not out in the storeroom. Also, the box was a bit tatty, but it was their only one so I took it. I drove it home excitedly, it rode shotgun in the front seat.
When I got home, I immediately opened it up and had a go. I noticed that there was no removable screen protector and that it was in a tatty plastic bag. I immediately started to wonder. And then, the final blow, I looked in the photo album and saw somebody's photos taken in a small town near Christchurch. A bunch of retired and Chinese folk grinning at MY PHONE! I was pissed off. I then looked at the bottom of the phone and saw it had a very noticeable dent in it. I was angry.
I put it all back in the box and drove back across town and told them they sold me a second hand phone. They acted surprised (or maybe they were surprised), so I didn't get too angry at them. They promised me another, but they had none in stock so they said they'd get me one from another store... I offered to drive over and pick it up, so they sorted everything out by ringing the other store, etc. Once they figured it all out, I had less than 20 minutes - in rush hour - to get across to the other store before they closed!!!
Luckily I knew a shortcut. Hehe.
I arrived with 2 minutes left on the clock and received my new phone from a man with a badly twitching eye.
And all this being rushed around was in the hot sun, and now I have a headache!
Anyway I love my new phone even though I haven't had a decent play with it yet. The new SE interface is taking a bit of getting used to. So are the new buttons which are nothing like the V630i! Also, when writing a text, I'm used to pressing the right softkey for the options menu, but now it is on the left because the left softkey is "back". That's what I've noticed so far. I'm enjoying the better video recording too. And the beautiful big 2.4" screen!
Any questions class?

Congratulations!
Jojo and I will miss you at the K618 photo thread...
Post pics please!
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Alright, the pictures as requested!
12 of 'em:
Firstly, the ugly red Vodafone box! I was hoping for something a bit classier because I know that Vodafone branded Walkmans in the past like the W950i came in a really nice box.
I know you're loving that box!
All the accessories which I haven't even had a chance to get out of their packaging yet!
Finally, the W910i. Notice that there is absolutely NO Vodafone branding on the outside of it! I am quite pleased about that! The usual inside though, but you can change that with themes.
Check out the fastport on this baby:
Slider open! Ooh I've got a message. Think I'll view it on my 2.4" screen...
FINGERPRINT!
Ah, better:
I love this theme... Suits the brown, and replaces them nasty Vodafone icons
W910i vs V630i comparisons:
One thing I'm finding hard to get used to is the "slide to unlock" thing. I keep wanting the star key unlock. I'll get used to it though.
Enjoy!
Posted by carkitter
Mmmmm... nice! I guess you'll be changing your avatar then. It's one of the best things about getting a new phone IMO, changing the Esato avatar.
Do you read the instruction manual? I always do, cover to cover. Then I spend hours on Zedge looking for new themes. I can't wait to get my T650; had another look on E.I. website just to make sure it was still there... 
The Havanna Gold looks awesome and the slider style is certainly a step up from the V630i. Congrats again!
Posted by carkitter
SE dot co dot NZ updated with X1, W980, C902, C702, G700 and W350 listed as Coming Soon! I want that W980; it looks like an up-spec cross between a V800 and a MotoV3 - not a bad thing at all - and it'll probably work with the Wifi Enabler too meaning everything I want in one phone! Cool!
Anyone seen the latest Repco catalogue? Sony MEXBT-2500 A2DP Headunit reduced $80 to $319.00. Tempting...
MEXBT-5000 is available from Repco via special order at $799 RRP.

Nope! I'm sticking with my very first SE, the T100i! Well, I would change to the W910i if there was a Havana Bronze version. We'll see if that turns up when Laffen gets time to update the avatars. I'm not worried though! I always have a quick flip through the instruction manual, but with the W910i, I've had to keep referring back because of the new software, which is actually more complicated than you'd expect! I'm getting used to it though.
That's one thing I have to do; find some decent themes which change the menu icons cause, I only have two like that.
Man, the T650i is gonna be awesome! I have to admit, the day before I go my new phone, the K770i was tempting me a bit. But I wouldn't be as happy with that phone as I am now! So far no bugs! I can't wait to see some T650i pictures of the phone and taken with it! Will we be seeing some 3.2 MP pictures in the March photo competition? When do you think you'll be upgrading?
Oh yeah and I love the W980i too! I just think it's going to be even more expensive than the W910i or even the K850i! Maybe it will be my next phone though.
About the head-units, man I want one! I have such a crappy one in my car. It's the standard Toyota Mini-Disc player and it's useless to me cause I don't have mini-discs. Plus it only gets a few NZ stations because it's set up for Japanese frequencies! Grrr. And I can't afford one after buying my phone.

We got the 980 here at the moment. Im tryin to score one to bring back with me. Its quite nice! Feels a bit big but hey, its a nice peice of kit.
Posted by Hobbs
@ Carkitter and MO,Do me a favour and phone around and enquire over there what colour T650i's they have in stock.Over here we only seem to have the blue ones at all the networks.The sales guy says each country get a designated colour and thats that.(dont know how true that is) South Africa got the blue T650i's unfortunitey.Me personally love the Green one.Its a beauty.My boss wants to upgrade to the T650i but she wont take the Blue.It must be the Green or she'll look at something else.I love the design and build of the T650i.

@JiSm: Wow, a W980i already? That's so lucky, I love that phone's looks... I'm guessing NZ won't see it for a year yet though!
@HOBBS: We don't get the T650i here unfortunately. The one carkitter plans to buy is an import. He can get whatever colour he wants, and for cheap too, but he won't get much support from Vodafone unfortunately.
We do get the K770i in silver, which is similar, but the majority of SE's phones don't make it to our shores, apart from through importers.
Perhaps you could try an importer over in South Africa? Do you get many phone importers?

Just as M-O said. Much as I like the Havanna Gold on the W910i and V640i, I will be going for the T650 because it's features and price match what I'm looking for ATM. Plus its also my own little protest against SENZ and VodafoneNZ with thier treatment of SE fans.
I'll be happy if we get the whole range of Coming Soon phones before they are obselete though!
Gotta phone call today to say that the one-day photography course on Sat that I'd enrolled in has been cancelled due to lack of interest.
Oh well, there's another in May, I'll try that.
Posted by Hobbs
She's on contract with a service provider called MTN so what they have is what you get.Might try and see if they can get hold of Sony Ericsson in Johannesburg and squeeze a green one out of them.If I wasnt into 'smartphones' the T650i would also be my phone of choice,in green of course.Feels real good in the hand.Nice size and weight.Stunning.If I was a service provider I'd head on over to NZ and sort your cellular industry out.Those buggers are taking you for a ride.You need more competition so the prices can drop.C'mon Virgin.Head on over to NZ and kick thiose other two service providers in the ass.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
@carkitter: That's such an annoying thing to have happen! You seemed to be really looking forward to it too... Hopefully the May one is popular enough to go ahead. If I lived in your area, I'd certainly be interested in a bit of Photography tuition to get the most out of my Cybershot.
@HOBBS: Would you not be able to import a T650i in the colour you want and take it into MTN and say "this is the phone I want to use, set it up for me". Surely you could threaten to end your contract and join another network if they weren't prepared to set it up for you?
Yeah our networks definitely need a kick in the pants, but I think it's unlikely that any major players in the industry are going to attempt to take on such a small market (Theres only just over 4 million people living in New Zealand).

Hey carkitter (or any passing NZer who might know), would you happen to know whether our Vodafone network supports HSDPA yet? I haven't yet seen an "H" on my phone and I'm just wondering...
Cheers!

Thought I'd just "hi" to everyone on the eNZed thread. Muhammad-Oli, love the picture on the first page.

Hi brix25! Welcome to the NZ thread.
Thanks mate, I just found the image on a New Zealand website so it's not my photo actually! I agree, it is a nice photo, but I don't think it helps with the whole "NZ is full of sheep" idea that some people overseas seem to have!
How is Cape Town at the moment?

HSDPA works fine in NZ, I use a data card that supports HSDPA and it picks it up no prob. Does seem to be very limited at the moment as to locations that it works is though.
