LOL, they kcuf with my head too.  So tempting...
I find it particularly interesting to compare; yes the markets are different, yes most here changes phones far more frequently as the one year as wel as 18 month contracts make this possible, plus the attractive specials on PAYG/sim-free prices also make it so much easier to do so.
But the prices do still make for interesting reading, irrespective of market differences, and in turn comparisons from there.
My primary purpose re these links etc, as mentioned many times on this forum, is to expose regular specials so that hopefully the many SA citizens coming to or returning from the UK (and their relatives, friends etc) can really benefit and save a helluva lot of money from purchasing here. 
More good spec phones to da people... cellphone n' smartphone amandla LOL.
@ Jojo,
The Honda Fireblade is a 1000cc, mate.

@ Jojo,
Robbie Knievel has been doing a lot to emulate his father, but I don't think he'll ever surpass his dad's reputation.
The Fireblade was first launched back in 1992 as a 900cc. It revolutionised superbike design philosophies back then. There wasn't a 400cc Fireblade, only 900cc and up, but Honda did bring out a 400 that was very similarly styled to the Fireblade (CBR400RR), which got the unofficial nickname amongst riders as the 'Baby Blade'.

LMAO, now here's a price drop of note... the W880i for just £98.95 (approx R1400 ) on O2 PAYG. Would cost £10 to unlock it, but fortunately O2 don't really brand their phones:

Ya gola, I totally agree with that.
The N82 has now appeared in the O2 shop's coming soon section, ie. December. And the W960i? January...

Anyone know what "MTNZONE" means? It's showing in the cell message space on my phone usually preserved for cell location.

Hi tranced.
MTN is one of the SA networks here.
www.mtn.co.za
I hope your weekend turns out for the better, mate. I'm sure we can all relate to such difficult times at some point. Hang in there.
BTW, I read somewhere that the opposition party politician Nestor Julio Cruz Pichardo in the Dominican Republic wants to ban bikinis , even though most of the tourism brochures etc have loads of pics with curvy ladies sporting these..
