I wish I had enough money for any  phone right now. I dont think $14.50 could even afford a sciPhone
Haha I wouldn't be so sure... Those sciPhones are pretty cheap (and nasty). I'm sure your C905 is better though... How is the C905 by the way?

God I'm lazy, its still broken. I really need to get round to fixing it or sending it back 
Anyway satio is looking rather cheap at the moment, the £400 price some people have paid is about $870NZ. Much cheaper than iPhone!

I didn't think Aino's price was that bad at all. Quite pleased.
Alright I'm going to bet $1049. There, we're all $50 apart.

Its a shame that people still buy branded expensive phones from the vodafone shop. You pay like double price for some crappy vodafone branding all over the phone, absolutley nuts!

Yeah exactly. And all it takes is a quick trip to the Vodafone website to get some settings sent to your phone and you have a cheaper, un-gimped phone without ugly menus. Plus you have more choice and can get them quicker though the import route. Seems like common sense to me.
Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my Aino. Hopefully tomorrow!

So much for that C903 deal on Vodafone being just for the month of September. I don't see them ever raising the price back up! I haven't seen anyone using a C903 yet either.

Congrats. Does the touch screen only work in media menu or does it work all over the phone? When they announced it they said something about that but I really dont think they would limit it like that

They did limit it. An easy way to think of it is that the phone is non-touchscreen until you close it and turn it on it's side, then it becomes a touchscreen multimedia centre where you can access music, videos, pictures, the camera and radio. At first I was skeptical but then I came round to the idea, and now I own the thing.
It would be nice to have the option of full touch, but having now used the phone I think it's great, and there are many things that wouldn't have worked in touch screen anyway, like some of the applications. I can't imagine attempting to use the GPS with a touchscreen.

Wow, seriously? The NZ dollar just keeps on getting stronger, how does that not affect their prices?
