@amawanqa: Occasionally all men are wankers. Back to my T39m...The housing doesn't bother me too much, there's lots of shops selling them around Cape Town...my primary concern is getting the latest fw and maybe a spare battery.

@tempsonyfreak: Unfortunately the free GPRS from MTN came to an end last year. All three networks now charge R2/Meg. On which is the best network it kinda depends...if you're going to be travelling around rural areas forget MTN... Voda's got the widespread coverage but if you're in the cities and towns MTN should be good enough.

...and their 3G experience is also slightly better except for a stupid portal. Why do I say this? While playing around with the V800 a week ago getting a reliable signal/connection from Voda almost impossible unless one stood next to a base station. MTN has got fewer 3G cells but at least their signal is reliable.

True... Drove thru the Transkei recently, nearly zero coverage on MTN, excellent Voda tho. BUT... Big but- mtn gprs is really fast in cities, apart from the occasional lapse. Anybody else think it's time we had more service providers? A bit of competition never hurts

All the cell networks here have been blocked/ shut down,with all the bomb blasts this morning. The signal bar is full, but impossible to dial out at the moment. Had to email friends and family and use the landlines.
A very co-ordinated attack by malicious scum...thank God there weren't more fatalities than what there potentially could have been.
