Yeah I'm on there too, but I don't like it so don't use it. As with any social networking sites.

Hey I would be too if it's a metal ruler! Those things hurt. In saying that though, I have a metal ruler myself so we could have a pretty intense duel.

Wow, I didn't think SE had second place! I would have thought Samsung would be second.
The SE T715 is coming to NZ by the way. Looks as though we might get most SE phones from now on, with Telecom and Vodafone both seemingly making an effort.

The figures are based on phones imported into NZ in the first 3 months of the year. It doesn't say if it includes parallel imported phones but I would guess not. Vodafone doesn't sell many Samsung models and Telecom will have jettisoned it's Samsung CDMA phones in favour of SE phones for XT.
The iPhone numbers are surprising. With the ongoing support through firmware upgrades, further sales are likely to be new owners not current owners trading up to new models. Contrast that with the other makes who sell to the same people over and over.

The Vodafone Online Store has run out of 8GB iPhone 3G so they are selling the 16GB for the same price.
Yes that's right. 16GB iPhone 3G in white or black without a plan reduced from $1129 to $979 while stocks last.
On an iPhone 40 plan reduced to $499.
On an iPhone 60 plan only $449.
And a free Docking Station worth $50 thrown in until July 15th or while stocks last.
iPhone 3G s available from July 10th:
16GB = $1179
32GB = $1379
Plan details and subsidies to be announced at launch. Is there any interest in photos/video of the NZ launch?
I don't expect it to be as big a deal as last time but if Vodafone are doing something special I might go along if you guys are interested.
BTW, HTC Magic (Android phone) is available on a multi-tiered call/txt/data plan just like the iPhone, called Smart 40, Smart 60, Smart 80 and Smart 130 (based on the price of the monthly plans). These plans are probably available for all smartphones going forward including the Satio when it's released.
I suspect more minutes and data are coming for the Smart/iPhone plans on July 10, given that the 3.0 firmware allows tethering via USB or BT and its very easy to do (via USB anyway).
