We all know Nokia is advertising the 6630 but only MTN has it.Vodacom is not keeping it and its making it better for the handset manufacturers who have 3G handsets.It makes Nokia looks like backwards but just wait for the 6680 to arrive.Nokia 6680 is going to fly out the shelves faster than it came in.I got over 15 customers waiting for 6680

@ Brix, cool, did you know, MTN International opens office in Iran
MTN International (Mauritius) Limited is proud to announce that today (Tuesday, 26 April) its office in Iran was officially opened by the Ambassador Y Saloojee, the South African envoy in the Islamic Republic of Iran, at a function held at the SA Embassy.
The MTN office is based in Tehran the economic hub of Iran and has been established by Mr Chris Kilowan, the former chief executive officer of Orbicom, one of the MTN Group’s subsidiaries. The office has been established to support the Group’s ongoing expansion efforts.
Opening an office in Iran will uniquely position MTN to identify value-enhancing expansion opportunities in line with the Group's vision to be a leader in telecommunications in developing markets. MTN’s recently launched slogan, “MTN, everywhere you go”, further highlights the Group’s commitment to expanding its reach outside of Africa.
Says Kilowan: “We are honoured and pleased to have established an office in Iran. This move is indicative of MTN’s commitment to do business in this country and our confidence in this market.
”We are grateful for the support of the South African Embassy and His Excellency, Ambassador Y Saloojee. We believe our partnership is an important one and we are committed to supporting the initiatives of the Bi-national Commission between South Africa and Iran.”
The opening of the MTN office coincides with South Africa Week, which culminates in South African Freedom Day celebrations (27 April) promoted by the Embassy.
Since MTN set up office in Iran, the company has participated in key telecommunications events in the country such as the 2004 Telecommunications Exhibition in Tehran.
Soon after inception, the MTN Group actively sought growth opportunities, becoming the first South African mobile network operator to expand its operations to Uganda, Rwanda and Swaziland in 1997 and 1998.
In 1994 MTN efficiently rolled out one of the world’s largest GSM networks and to date has invested R17 billion in infrastructure to effectively deliver communication solutions in its six operations (Cameroon, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland and Uganda). As at 31 December 2004 the Group recorded more than 13 million subscribers across its networks.
As South Africa celebrates Freedom Day, the MTN Group celebrates another milestone this year -10 years of listing on the JSE Securities Exchange, with the financial resources to allow it to continue investing in new technologies and new markets. The Group’s positive share performance over a decade has contributed to the company’s status as a pre-eminent provider of communications services and solutions.

@celltech: They'll be applying for a licence to operate a network in the Islamic Republic.
Unrelated but Vodafone will soon launch Passport which will make calls while roaming on participating much cheaper to their subscribers but only in certain markets, definitetly not in SA.

There'll be some issues with anti-trust regulators because Nitel(fixed line operator) already owns a mobile network(M-Tel)...V-Mobile if what can be believed from reports is more profitable and it better shape then M-Tel.
