Hi, people. It's my first post here, but I've been reading this board for a while now, and I think I ought to add a few things:
1: What is Prodigits? I've been seeing this name all over the board.
2: To Tahir Ally: I really think you need to calm down. I'm an avid Vodacom supporter like you, but you really are doing more harm than good by forcing your opinions onto others.
3: It's a fact: Vodacom's GPRS service really is terrible as of recently, whether over the internet or on MMS. It's unreliable. And providing excuses as to why it is that way does not rectify the situation.
4: Can you imagine if Sony released the Playstation 2 with nothing but Wild Wild Racing to play for the next 3 months? That's what 3G is like in SA with it's "wide" selection of 3G phones.
5: I keep reading about people trying to choose between a 3G phone or Smartphone. I can't understand why. 6680 is both in one.
6: Tahir, you really need to learn some etiquette and respect. I believe that Nokia is the best phone manufacturer, but I don't go around convincing SE and Samsung fans to change to Nokia. I respect their opinions.
Anyways, I didn't mean to offend anyone. But I do believe that people have the rights to their opinions.
Thanks!

8? I only know 4:
Moto E1000, V980
SE V800
Sharp 902
Maybe there are others that are still waiting to be released.
(BTW I meant 3G phones, not Vodafone Live. SE F500 isn't 3G)

I don't know, but I'm sure the networks there don't take 6 months to compliance-test their phones. I mean there's only so much a phone can do. Does it really take so long to get through everything? I'm sure even something as advanced like a Nokia 7710 or SE P910 takes nothing more than a month to compliance-test overseas.
People at Vodacom claim that the manufacturers are slow in releasing their phones, but I think the real reason is that their phones are in compliance-testing for so long. I've got an email that I've kept going for months to the support centre regarding the "progress" of the 6680's (and 6630) compliance-test. Very boring to read if you ask me.
By the way, what is Prodigits???

@ Tahir,
www.thelink.com, one of the 3 biggest cellphone chainstores in the UK, has now advertised the Samsung Z500 in their 'coming soon' section, so if the Z500 arrives in SA next month, that will be almost the same time that they will be available here in the UK! Go Samsung SA!!

My friend AndyO tells me he has taken possession of a K600i courtesy of SonyEricsson South Africa. Hopefully I'll get it in my grubby paws soon.

Amawanqa: The Nokia 7600, isn't that the leaf-shaped phone? That's a pretty old model. It can't be a 3G phone. Can it???
