Cheers mate. I'm just off to the top of the South Island for a week, so not even close to your area, but thanks for the offer! I'll be back around Esato Friday/Saturday-ish.
@yea g, I wouldn't be too obvious about where you live. You know, just in case!

You lil' beauty!
Next G is Telstra Australia's 3G network. Telecom shafted TelstraClear by denying it access to their new GSM network, looks like TelstraClear have gone back to head office in OZ and got permission to pull out the big guns.
You may have just discovered NZ's 4th mobile network.
It'll be US style 850 Mhz GSM/HSDPA just like Telecom are building, meaning Telecom aren't just fighting Vodafone, NZC and B&W, they now face competition on the same frequency which negates their one point of difference with the other networks. Customers will be able to switch between Telecom and TelstraClear easily using the one phone.
This will hurt Telecom's share price and damage their chances of winning back market share from Vodafone. This opens up all sorts of possibilities and increases the chances of some real cheap deals in the near future.
Good spotting! You hit the jackpot there!

I'm back! And reading what was said above while I was away I remembered to tell you guys a couple of things:
My girlfriend texted me (she is in Whangarei at the moment) to say that in the latest MyMobile there is a Telecom Sony Ericsson phone which she said is "like your old phone" (meaning my W910i), so I think that she probably means the W760i will be on Telecom's new network, much like Telstra has it in Australia. Couldn't spot it on either Telecom's or MyMobile's website though.
Also, a few weeks ago there was a funny mistake in the Telecom mailout. They had an image of a girl talking on her phone on the front cover which was obviously just a stock photo they had purchased and used. But if you looked closer you would have seen it was a brown SE K770i that she was using, which is completely stupid on their part!

Well, I'm back online with a new laptop and 3GB per month of (potentially) 7.2Mbps Vodafone Mobile Data! Phew! Being unplugged is stressful.
My new laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-CS13G/Q with a 2.1Ghz Pentium Dual Core Processor, 1GB Ram (soon to be upgraded) 250GB HDD and 14.1" Widescreen. OS is the dreaded Vista, but the Home Premium version makes things a little nicer. And the best part, inbuilt BT V2.1 + EDR!
