@ wirelessmonkey,

Actually, on that note, I'd better not do any 'flashing' when in SA, my lovely Pommie-tan at the moment could just 'trip' the Sun if I expose too much of myself right now! Watch for a bright, radiating glow around Milnerton Beach later next month, when I'm back in SA for a holiday...

Hmm, monkey been a busy poster tonight...tks for the info & pics.
Where have you been all this time prior to joining/ contributing to this forum...spanking the monkey?!?

Keep us informed about the latest cellphone handset developments; you seem to have some good connections...

What is it with these alien species techo freaks... splashing their Samshlongs and Nogge-keur phones all over our Sony Ericsson sanctum?

Vodafone Sweden press release states:
The recommended price of the Sony Ericsson V600i is SEK 3 195 (R2 852) with Vodafone Abonnemang or free if the customer commits to spend SEK 299 (R266) a month on calls for 24 months.

That said.. I think I'm the lucky dude to get to play with what may never be - K600i as I've noticed that SE have withdrawn the K600i info from their website and now only feature the Vodafone live exclusive V600i.

Nice weather we're having... aaaai!

@AndyO aka Monkey Man... I can't believe SE would so stupid as to make the V600i a Vodafone exclusive... I'm sure the K600i will arrive a couple of months after the exclusivity period ends a la V/Z800.
Nice pics BTW...looking forward to playing with the K750 as promised.

@Brix Vodafone has the BIGGEST buying power on mobile phones than any other cellular network.Vodafone RND and handset manfactures work together.No other cell network works closely with handset manufactures than VODAFONE.In other words VODAFONE CALLS THE SHOTS...........@Wireless Monkeys you tell us on this forum to ONLY SPEAK ABOUT SONYERICSSON.This is an SA mobile forum created by BRIX.We can speak about anything that deals with mobile phones.You must create a SA SonyEricsson mobile discussion forum to post all SEricsson news.@ CodeMaster if you want the Vodafone Live GPRS settings.You have to reload the phone with Vodafone software.

@Tahir...Yeah, in my discussion with the Wireless Monkey this morning I got a similiar message... That Vodafone is big thus they called the shots. @ALL... I didn't want to start an exclusively SE thread as many other users (read: Nokia) would be excluded... Personally I like SE but the next man hates them and yet we can still talk on this thread. Peace out!!

Guys... I of all people respect all the brands. I have very close relationships with all top five handset brands in SA so please don't take my comments literally - hence the sarcasm in my tone. While I do respect all brands, it's Sony Ericsson that's been most loyal to me over the past three years. When I left the Cape Argus and was battling to start my freelancing career it was only Sony Ericsson who kept sharing their technology with me. To this day, only Sony Ericsson shares with me unconditionally, then Samsung, Motorola, Nokia and LG. I enjoy personal relationships with both Nokia and Sony Ericsson, and healthy professional relationships with the others. So respect to all.

Below are pictures I snapped today on my K750i to show you the zoom capabilities of the little marvel. The camera (2 megpix) supports four times digital zoom.

(Indoor at Canal Walk - note the highlighted area which illustrates the zoom)

With respect to Vodafone - they've quite simply used their market leadership to raise the bar, resulting in a more innovative and fun mobile experience for millions of cellphone users. They could so easily have chosen to just milk us for cash, but instead they've innovated, launched Vodafone live!, delivered BlackBerry to Africa and given us the first 3G mass market mobile data card. There are many many more plusses about this company and all in all they deserve the public's respect for what they are doing. Yes, they grab the best for themselves, but this is what a free market allows for so that they can keep being the best mobile community on the globe. ... yeah but I still like my little yellow SIM even if it is a little slower than my blue SIM. The MTN guys have passion, and arguably a brilliant tech team.

@monkey man: Those pics in Kanala Walk are awesome, especially the one zooming in.
Just imagine unleashing your little beast on Camps Bay or better still Clifton in the summer.

@ Brix by Summer we will have phones that will have more than 3mega pixel camera.K750 will be dated in 5 months time.The K750 would have been SonyEricsson next BIG THING if it was an (3G) handset.
