Yup shouldn't be long.. but I'm still waiting on the W800i. 
Love the black of the k750 though but after seeing the silver branded versions someone posted.. I just know voda aren't going to be that kind to us lol
(the silver looks great apart from the black around the screen, but the branding looks abysmal)

Having trialled a W800 for a media review, I have to agree that I was very, very impressed. I had been looking forward to the K750i, but I now think that if I had to buy a phone, it would be the W800 for sure. It really is very very clever...just the little things.
Although I don't think I could do without my P910....I can't wait for the next one....
Oh and Gigs, I'm selling my laptop....seen the new one? It's CARBON FIBRE, AND IT KICKS MUCHO GRANDE ASS! |

I just bought a copy of My Mobile and read the k750 review. They said the memory stick was an optional extra (they had 512 with their test model). Does that mean in NZ it wont come with even a 64mb memory stick? Is it even gonna come with a Usb cable and wateva else is supposed to come with it? |

I would have thought so... PI's website says in comes with a 64 MB card included. Vodafone would be nuts not to include it.

@city: it'll come with the USB cable and 64 memory card.. I've yet to see  not supply an MS duo/pro with any of the phones that take them. (albeit in sometimes horribly small sizes  )
From what I've seen of PI boxes and phones sold here, the only difference is branding, and red vodafone boxes, they seem to have all the same accessories though.
@Jforce: yeah i'm thinking of doing the same, the 4000 looks the shit!  The black is damned nice, and its 64 bit ... to match the desktop. Now if only it came with 1.2 terrabytes to match the desktop too
Need to find out if I can get a whole sale price on those this time, hopefully they're not just being done as retail only units. (though luck always says they will be :/)
Pity the race team its emblemed after sucks this year eh

the w800 looks like the beast, and if my t610 hadn't shat itself then i prolly woulda bought it. don't mind my z800 tho.
By the way, where does everyone buy their SE accessories from?
Apart from Trade Me, so far I've used www.mobilefly.com and www.expansys.com |

Vodafone launched 3G in New Zealand!!
So, anyone with tried to make a video call yet?
I've got 2 3G handsets (Z800 and a Nokia 6630)
so gave it a go yesterday. It's pretty cool!
(Video calls are free till October, apparently.)
Only gripe was the time it took to connect the call.

yup, have done a couple of video calls now.
The novelty wears off after the second one.

Reading a news article about Vodafone's 3G launch in NZ this morning and I didn't know that Telecom NZ had a CDMA network using Sprint 3G handsets. Quite interesting.

@brix:
Telecom have to have a deal with sprint, it's the only way for them to get handsets at a reasonable price.
Telecoms buying power = nothing
Vodafones = global

I'm not a fan of Vodafone and their branded handsets, granted they've got global reach and, at least in SA, these handsets are dirt cheap.
What's the deal with Telecom NZ having CDMA while the rest of the world is on GSM?

@gigs, yup, the novelty certainly did wear off after a while.
I wondered why TV3 was going on and on about the launch, until i realised you can download videos of TV3 news and sport and music from C4. Must be a deal in there somewhere.
I guess I'll make a few video calls until October, when Vodafone will start charging for it. I think I'd rather send a video message instead. |

main reason for TV3 hyping it is because TVNZ is in bed with telecom.
Which is fine, i'd rather have access to 3 news than One News.
I don't think I could take the flood of talant and old time music shows that TVNZ seems to trot out on TV1
