Yea i saw that! It is probably telecom because they used that exact same phone on most of their ads. I havn't visited the site yet since i only got opera mini, but maybe one of you guys could do a whois on it

Wooo! We just hit 2000 posts guys! Another milestone!
And it's definitely the W995... You can watch it on the website. I kind of wonder how they managed to bring Richard Hammond into it though. Is it an international ad that they've gone and used for the NZ network or what?

I have no idea how to do that but I think a Geekzone member already did it with this result:
registrant_contact_name: Telecom IP Limited
registrant_contact_address1: P O Box 949
registrant_contact_city: WELLINGTON
registrant_contact_country: NZ (NEW ZEALAND)
registrant_contact_phone: +64 4 4738278
registrant_contact_fax: +64 4 4723358
registrant_contact_email:
dns@ajpark.com BBCode End -->
The PO Box goes back to a Wellington law firm A J Park who specialize in branding and intellectual property (IP).

It was probably when TopGear came to NZ and they booked Little Richard in advanced. Only Telecom could pull that off - new starter networks wouldnt have resources or funds for stars like him!
Lookin forward to hearing more about what they have to offer. Maybe they will take more stance on getting the very latest handsets? Someone needs to thats for sure. Maybe we will start to see heavy mobile subsidies again? When Telecom did that, they were honestly killing it. When they switched off the subsidies, all they had was $10 txt and a youth market to prey on. -Mind you, they have always had the mentality that the Youth today are the Business owners tomorrow... but number porting quashed this idea I reckon! haha

"Gourdie would not be drawn on the range of devices available on the new network other than to say Telecom "will have a stunning line-up of devices, some of them not seen in New Zealand, some of them world firsts".
"
We'll be launching when the manufacturer launches. I think about half of them are exclusive to Telecom," he said.
Anyone with an Apple iPhone connected to Vodafone's network will be able to take it across to Telecom's network.
In addition to the iPhone, other 3G capable phones - including the Blackberry - connected to Vodafone will work on the new network as long as it is capable of connecting to a 850MHz network."
So does that mean we'll finally see
phones in NZ at the same time as elsewhere and not delayed by 6-9 months? I hope so.
The iPhone and Blackberry are both US spec handsets and so are UMTS850 and 2100 capable though the BB does come in CDMA versions too. I wonder if Vodafone Group will insist on a UMTS900MHz version next time round seeing as this frequency has been given the go ahead for widespread adoption across Europe?
The world firsts, what will they be - Android and Symbian Foundation phones perhaps? I'm looking forward to getting a prepay SIM to do speedtests with.

Well looking at that ad, one will probably be the W995 which I look forward to seeing and am tempted to get for myself. That's really great news though, thanks carkitter. Sounds like we will be spoilt for choice in the future, rather than stuck on what to get as it has been in the past.
