As far as i understand, the Anytime 100 contract costs R100 and the R49 is the phone finance. Still, i am also amazed at the pricing BUT if you have a look at what Nokia originally thought of launching it at, its not that much different. I think vodacom goes over the top in most cases, and i am now seriously considering to port my number to MTN, even if it is just for this phone

So has MTN officially got the phone on offer? R49X24months phone finance comes to R1176.Thats nothing.I cant believe this until I see or hear it with my own ears/eyes.

Thanks Rhino that would be cool.
My cousin said her sisters boyfriend has the Sony Ericsson X1 and she wasnt very impressed with it.She said that since I own a E90 I would never get used to the cheap feel of the X1.I think that any phone is going to feel substandard build-wise after the E90.So the verdict is still out on the X1.I should be seeing her again on the 1st March and hopefully he will be there so I can play on it before I choose to get one.Was quite suprised at her verdict of the X1 to be ohnest with you.I thought it would blow her away but it hasnt.She wasnt very impressed with it to say the least.She also played on a Blackberry Bold and basically said it was Crap.Thats the problems we all face.We get sucked into the hype,the pictures,the demo video's ,but when we get our hands on them we are always highly disappointed.Im just worried about this 5800 been so cheap.My phone finance on the E90 is R179 on a R315 Business Top Up.(Im only paying the pay-in of R179,the girl who bought my N95-2 is paying the monthly R315 to pay off the N95) So when you looking at a 100 Anytime time contract with a R49 payin (I know its MTN but still) it just makes me worried about the material used to construct the 5800.(not talking about the software) Just sounds to good to be true.

Mmm.Its that R299.00 pay-in thats got me though.Peanuts.Its just that its so similar to my E90 just with a touchscreen.Very tough decision.Value for money.Basically the phones going for R4836.00 (311.093 GBP) after 24 months of paying R189/month.(wont be using that sim) Thats 331.668 GBP.Whats it going for cash over there Wangster?

I think if you a Navigator fan this upgrade should make you lick your lips.I think the Nokia 6710 looks bloody awesome.600mhz processor,HSDPA 10.2mbps and a 5MP Camera.How did we let this one slide?

Gucci. Do you still use ucweb? Im giving it a bash cause opera mini isn't loading the pages properly. The main problem i have with ucweb is i cant open facebook. And i cant open esato in html. I dont like the mobile version. And also when typing a message. I cant use predictive text. Maybe you know if there is a fix. Lol

Kyle, which version of ucweb are you using? I've used all the previous versions for Facebook without any problems, both for facebook mobile and the full site.

Bakkies aren't that common in the UK; white vans in various shapes and sizes are the UK 'bakkies'. Considering the crappier weather, this is understandable..
Anyway, taken with the  P1i while in the car:
