Well, mtn may merely be trying to improve their market stake, but ultimately it means progress in the proper direction w.r.t improvement in technology and services available to S.Africans

I don't know what's annoying about the V800 menu system, it's actually easier that Nokia. And I know that tennis game you ahve to buy, which you get free on the K700i. And yes... Vodefone Live! isn't just any portal... it's much better than Exatmobile and MTNLoaded combined... and tell me what will you rather take?
Free internet forever with a Vodafone or Pay for your internet and have a mobile without a few(-10) pictures of Vodafone?
Again every vodafone's menu system is basically the same.
... there is a reason to go and paint the city RED

786KBR: The upcoming S600i will have the widescreen feature for games and videos. One thing missing from the V800 is the slideshow feature for viewing pictures. About Vodafone Live it does look better than the MTNloaded portal...someone mentioned that browsing is free, It's actually not coz you have to pay a subscription to access services like news and weather...with limited premium content included in the bundle.

I say It's not free coz you still have to pay for a bundle...the Value Pack goes for R29 and gives you access to the portal for 30 days. No there ain't a slideshow feature.

Well 1stly... then you don't know how Vodafone Live! is charged. THE Value pack is for ringtones, etc. news, etc. BUT IF YOU PRESS THE VLIVE! button on your V800(Or any Vodafone) you get connected via 3G/GPRS/EDGE for free. THE CONNECTION is free which means EVERYTHING- the portal, the web, anythign you can access with the internet is free of charge.
Point form:
-> Connection is free
-> Portal is free
-> Anything outside Vodafone Live! is free
-> You only buy what you want( THIS IS THE ONLY/SINGLE THING THAT GETS CHARGED) ( And will always be warned a minimium of 2 times!)
Just check ... use a Prepay number... connect to VLive! using the Vodafone Live! settings... NIL/Ziltch RAND charged
>Then connect to the internet via the Normal GPRS settings... and see ... wow, your charged.
Hope you understand and get it right.

Vodacom doesn't offer EDGE. I sense some aggression in your response...take a chill pill mate, I'm easy like Sunday morning.

I am calm... you just tryed to fight back. Well don't blame me... there is limited and even if EDGE was available you couldn't use it. V800 doesn't support... have you seen MOST of MTN's 3G mobiles doesn't support EDGE... so tell me what's the use?
Sorry brix

Cool!!! So you're saying that i can access any site, go and download as much as i like, and only pay R29 per month? So would i be able to use my existing payg voda sim together with a vodalive voucher?

@Kryptic: The catch is that you'll have to buy a branded handset...which kinda sucks as many of them will have DRM which means you can't download content without a digital key. The feature is not common in most of the current phones but expect it to be included in most new phones by the end of the year.
BTW, saw that the 6230i and the black RZR have arrived on local shores.
