But like you said earlier, I wouldn't trust $1149 with a trader with zero trades lol... Smells dodgy to me.
I think I'll be waiting for the Xperia

I saw the HTC Touch at Parallel Imported in Manukau yesterday, also they've dropped the price of the N96 to $1399 and the N95 8GB to $1099 to match Vodafone who seem to be leading a price war ATM.
Anyone else noticed that PI aren't selling Apple products anymore? And the Vodafone store I bought my iPhone from, ten days later told me that they weren't allowed to sell them anymore either! There's something odd going on...

A-GPS means assisted gps therefore is uses wifi and 3G to pinpoint your local without a satellite. It'll definately work here in NZ. Full GPS is the hard one to get going... For a long time we had no GPS satellite coverage here because no one would pay for it. BMW NZ finally stumped up over $100k to get it up and running so that their customers could use their Sat Nav systems in their new cars. Or so I heard. I think the iPhone has A-GPS and it works fine.

i talked to a vodaphoney person a few weeks ago about the C905, i think he said $1300 price for nz.
having looked at the picture quality, i must say it is a phone i'd like to have.also the xenon flash would be a bonus (after trying to get some decent shots from my g900 in a dark room).
however, since the nz$ has plummeted in the last couple of weeks, us$600 is now over nz$1100!!! so it will still be quite expensive to get, not only would you have to allow for postage, but also customs charges of 12.5% (gst).
however, touchscreen is da bomb (although a little temperamental), so i'm personally more inclined to wait for an 8.1mpx touchscreen sex beast.
but if i was going to get the C905, i would wait a couple of months at least, and also keep an eye on the exchange rate.i personally think anything over nz$800 is getting to be a bit much to pay for a phone.
in other news, i saw a K800i in noel leemings for $400!!!! i'm thinking maybe they have forgotten to put the lower price tag on it?

a quiz picture for the kiwi's.
can you name the car, the race, the year, and the drivers? also what was the special connection with the car that finished behind it in this particular race?

Haha!
It's a Ford GT40, specifically the one driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon at Le Mans (I forget the year) when the controversially won the race.
They were in 2nd place and the first placed GT40 was told to slow down so the two cars could cross the finish line together to maximize the photo opportunity -Ford beating Ferrari at LeMans was obviously a big thing. Anyway, because the two cars crossed the line exactly together, the officials decided the winner was the car which travelled the greatest distance in the 24 hrs and awarded the victory to the "2nd placed" McLaren/Amon car.
Hmmm... Could it have been 1966? |

I think I just heard a report on the radio in the room next door about Black+White being available now? I couldn't hear it properly so I can't be sure... Will do some research.
EDIT: Yep, looks like it... No SE phones though!

That's because the K800i is just too awesome a phone and it would be blasphemy if its price was lowered to below $400

Looks like the Xperia isn't nearly as good as it was hyped up to be... The menu's pretty sluggish according to this review... 
And for $800USD, it might not be entirely worth it. Looks like I'll stick with my trusty K800i
