I think most of them are hanging out at Prodigits. This place here is especially for SE enthusiasts.
Any thoughts on the new K600? |

@Rhino: I've got the feeling that the K600 and Z800 might be offered exclusively by MTN when they launch 3G in Q3.

f**k MTN. I wont buy it. MTN is a shit network, but if they launch 3g it might become cheaper. Do you think voda will allow that, without doing something to better it?

3G on MTN? Where did you hear that? Is it for real or just a rumor? I know for a fact (technician at MTN) they are spending quite a bit to update their 2.5G to handle EDGE.While not as fast as UMTS (after all is stil the same good old GSM), is still 3x faster then GPRS.3G is another 3x faster then EDGE ! They will have to go 3G sooner or later, but I don't think this year.(althou they may be able to run trials on a few selected towers by the years end)

The mid-year launch of 3G by MTN was dependant on market demand for Vodacom's 3G service...so far very few people have subscribed to the service just from my observation.

According to voda all you need to use 3g is a 3g phone, or the data card. No subscribing, but if you dont have the 3g contract you pay the same for 3g than noRmal gprs. And there wont be alot of 3g users yet, coz of the fact that the only 3g phone over here, that i know of, is moto.
@brix. You said that k 6and v800 will be exclusive to MTN, how can this be if v800 is exclusive to vodafone in uk at the mo? I may be wrong.

@Rhino: I think I said the Z800...the unbranded version of the V800 without the Vodafone menu.

@Rhino8: Ouch, I can't believe you would keep a name that stems from that incident, but it does sound cool.
Don't you guys wish SE would make a more aesthetically pleasing clamshell phone, like some of the samsungs. Candy bar wise i feel that SE are right on the money but their clamshell range just don't do it for me.
@all, please guys, some have you have some seriously interesting handles and Rhino8 and i are the only one's saying how we got ours. Whats your inspiration?
