Haha I don't think anyone's that desperate to get into the games to be honest. I could get them cut if I wanted but I don't particularly care.

I'm sure you could easily make a bit of profit by cutting it and selling on trademe

Probably. I could also easily lose my job and get into trouble with the law...

Yeah, that's a pretty good reason not to...
Well I got my V640i back from repair, only it's not my V640i. They couldn't repair the fault with they camera after flashing it with the updated firmware it already had so they replaced the phone (again). That makes this the 3rd V640i that I've had. This time I had it serviced in Auckland and insisted they try everything to avoid sending it to the repairer in Christchurch who butchered my first V640i. They had it ready the following day.
Now for the shocking piece of news....

I've swapped the V640i with my son for his 3rd generation iPod Nano! 
I will still get to visit the V640i from time to time  but as it's seldom used now that I have an iPhone + a Vodem Stick, it made sense to gain the iPod nano and use it as a training device for my wife and younger kids. I"m trying to get my technologically challenged missus to understand Apple devices so that one day she can inherit the iPhone and I can move up to a W715.
Besides my son finally admitted he should have got a V640i instead of the cheap LG he did get recently. 
Also Vista loves the V640i! Just tonight I streamed Audio via BT from the V640i to the Vaio speakers using the native Vista BT drivers. Very, very impressed. I really want a W715 now!

Wow, so no more V640i? Is that partly because you're sick of dealing with the problems, or just cause you have the iPhone?
I had a similar ordeal to what you've gone through with the V640 back when I had my old V600i. I had three different V600is due to faulty firmwares, and eventually I gave up on it and got the V630i.

No, I haven't given up on the V640i. I would have kept it if it wasn't going to my son.
I really need wifi in a phone these days. While I miss the V640i camera the most, the small screen and lack of iPhone Apps is making the V640i irrelevant. Seriously!
W715 type feature set is the minimum that will tempt me back to SE. Xperia X1 would be great but not at $1500 when the iPhone only cost me $699.

Hmmm, the W715 is due out late February but it may be worth waiting to see what MWC has to offer from SE before you set your heart on the W715.
I wonder when Vodafone is going to take down the Christmas decks...

@xzite: Welcome mate. It's good to have you round! That's a nice couple of SE phones you've had... I had a V630i too and it was really good, especially for the price. What brings you to Esato?
I've added you to our little New Zealanders list in the first post of this thread.

@Mrevilchap, if you're around: I'd like to add your new username onto our NZers list, so if possible could you let us know your location too, just so I can stick that on the list too? Thanks in advance!

How good is the vodem stick? My dad will probably upgrade to one when he gets about 20 g502s for the business. So which do you reckon would be faster, vodem stick or a g502????

I bet the G502 is better, but I couldn't say for sure or anything.
