You've stated You before that want a 3G phonecan so you can either get the Vodafone branded V800 or patiently wait for the K800 which should arrive in March next year. K600 is a non-starter...it ONLY comes with 40mb of memory.

The earliest I can see myself getting another phone is in about a year...The K700i would've been around for two years and my T68i for a little bit longer  I still want get myself a T39 as a third phone. |

@ Rhino 8 i am retailing the V800 for R4000.If you want a small 3G phone by the Moto E1000 or the new Moto v980.V980 is Free on a weekender contract.The V980 comes with 2 batteries and a car charger.V980 has no Btooth.................and For KBR786,I am say it again VODAFONE LIVE YOU DON'T PAY FOR THE DOWNLOAD.YOU PAY FOR THE CONTENT ONLY.If it cost R5 thats it and NO download costs.......I love the Vodafone Live shirts Voda gave.

@Tahir Ally,
How much is the V800 on 'Weekender' and 'Talk120'?
I see that the V800 is now listed on the Vodacom website along with the Sharp 902. They are giving the V800 free on 'Business Contract'.
The Sharp is nice, some cool features, but also some crappy features eg. no MP3 ringtones, etc.
It's also not a SE...
Always borrow money from a pessimist... They never expect to get it back. |

It's suprising that no-one including Vodacom's chief propagandist- Tahir- has described the much vaunted 3G service. Will you still be able to surf wap sites? Can you download content outside of the Vodafone Live portal? I'm looking forward to answers.

You can go off the Vodafone live portal and you will pay normal data rates.The V800 is FREE on Talk 120 package and is R869 cash on a Weekender package........................The Vodafone Live portal has 500 000 music titles.It will only cost you R15 to buy.Movies,browsing IOL via Vodafone live is FREE...............MTN cant touch this.
In other News:MTN launched there new DATA tarrifs.Its now R2 a meg
out of bundels within bundels is between R1.25- R0.49cents.This will be in the press this SUNDAY

@Tahir: are u seriously thinking people will pay R15 for a music track when iTunes charges less than a dollar? Thanks for the news on the slashing of data rates by MTN.

@ TAHIR
can we stop advertising here!!!!
@ brix
dats a stupid question... of course u can, i dont think u understand 3g - its a service not a phone all it means is that instead of gprs u can get super fast downloads so whatever u can do with grps u can do 100X faster on 3g ...
but neway my v800!!!!
the best feature for me so far is that if the phone is closed.. u can still take vids and pics!!!! and the victims wont even know they are being filmed!!!!!!
u can see on the external screen ... like a e700 Sam!!!
going to a strip club tonite!!!!!!!!! :) :)
it still has the damn shutter click!!!!!
