The 3230 has just dropped in price at mobilefun, from £239.95 to £224.95 sim-free. Oh, and surprise-surprise, the Nokia 6230i has dropped in price AGAIN this week, from the £214.95 I quoted previously to £209.95 sim-free this week. Not too much of a drop, but still another drop of about..R55? with the current exchange rate?, almost on a weekly basis at the moment. I wonder how long this weekly price drop trend will continue for, before the price begins to plateau.
Incidently, there seems to be a great deal at expansys in about 9 days, namely a sim-free Sendo X, WITH the Sendo X collapsable qwerty keyboard attachment, for £143.95! Smsing and creating posts/documents on a phone will be even quicker than smsing with the p900's stylus..well for me,anyway. I need to find a way to get more sim-free phones that are on special here into SA!

@Brix I said it before and i am saying it now.All new release of phones on Vodacom will be Vodafone Live branded.AND NO VODACARE WILL FLASH OR UNBRAND YOUR PHONE.

Have you guys seen this post by dirk27?
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=91451
Using 'contact' ('sticky back' in the UK), he's made a home-made phone skin for his s700i! NOOOO!!Now as another poster on that thread has stated, what will this look like after a while, especially when dust inevitably gets under the layer.
Surely if one can buy a s700i or similar expensive phone, it would make sense to buy a quality case like Krusell or similar, as mentioned in the post. I have a Krusell cover for my p900 and what a quality accessory! Oh well, each to their own, I guess...but it's difficult to get over the fact that 'contact' has been used as a home-made phone skin, especially on a s700i.

Doom and gloom from Tahir as he predicts the total domination of Vodafone and their "adapt or die" attitude towards consumers.
On a serious note I hope you don't speak for Vodacom cause you do them more harm than good with your statements on here. If someone wants to pay to have his phone flashed to it's original firmware, how could that be wrong?

@Brix YOU are DOOM AND GLOOM.Look around my friend.Networks abroad are feelling the pinch and what are they doing.They are selling up and who is buying VODAFONE.Vodafone is the largest mobile network in world.That says it all.Doom and gloom is for you.Ever since Vodacom had branded handset.My branded sales are higher than non branded sales.I dont know what crap you talk about........Couple a months ago i posted on this site Vodacom will be giving Free pc /laptop.Everyone including you said i am talking shit.Visit www.adsl.co.za and see for your self what Vodacom is going to give free laptops/pc on contracts..........Super 3G will be here in 2007(Ericsson article).You said branded handset are not liked in UK.A recent survey was done in UK about 3G and 85% of the population did not know what 3G is.Does that tell you something.You also talk about RESTRICTIONS.Both BRANDED and NON BRANDED 3G phones have DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT(DRM).With DRM you are restricted to transfer content.

The SIM-FREE 3230 has dropped AGAIN in price this morning...now £214.95 at mobilefun. So it's dropped, in total, another £25 (about R280 with today's exchange rate?) in 1 week. (£10.00 this morning and £15 earlier this week.)
Sim-free... how are you!

If your 2G Vodacom phone displays "3G ENABLED" in your cell broadcast.It means you have 3G coverage.Good luck

Better because Beckham is in the ad? Oh no,Tahir! LOL!
They used to have him all the time on the Vodafone ads here, now they have another dude promoting Vodafone's range of music downloads on Live! His hairstyle changes with all the different music genres playing in the ad.
However, if Vodafone wasn't bad enough, Beckham is now on all the bloody Gillette ads here too!
Aaaaarrrgh!!Overkill again.
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend if you are a Beckham fan, it's just that it really is TOO MUCH here...

@mario: Yep!
@Tahir: Here's an interesting article you might want to read http://www.marketingweb.co.za/marketing/439081.htm basically it says that MTN as a brand is more valued then Vodacom, would wonder why? |
