Apple
breaks Vodafone's monopoly on official phones. What does this mean for SE's online shop?

Presumably you mean Vodafone's online shop.
I dunno, Vodafone's website won't let me into the iPhone section right now, but aren't the prices exactly the same? And I don't know about you guys but when I think of buying an iPhone, or anything Apple for that matter, I don't think of going to the Apple website. I'm more likely to hit up the Vodafone site or an official reseller site. So perhaps this is better in that they are covering all bases?

Nope. I mean the
Official SE store not available to kiwis.

Apple's prices are $20 - $30 cheaper which is a shot across the bows of Vodafone considering manufacturers usually sell at RRP.
Also, this is the first manufacturer to sell phones independent of Vodafone. Perhaps SE NZ could grow some balls and open
retail stores which sell phones for all networks?

Ah, now I understand your post.
I didn't realise Apple were undercutting Vodafone! Maybe this is the beginning of a price war between the two? Hopefully.
I very much doubt that we'll see the SE store here. At least not until it is rolled out in more major countries elsewhere.

Just pay for it like everyone else does.
About the iPhone thing:
Well sony NZ would be a good candidate for doing that. Currently they sell some vodafone SE phones

According to the CellC site he linked to, 100MB is the equivalent of $NZ19.40 and 1GB costs $NZ55 making vodafoneNZ cheaper on both counts.
Sony Style already do a weak attempt at SE phones but I think dedicated stores would be a good way to showcase the myriad of features most owners don't know about or haven't tried. Plus all the cool accessories that usually get ignored.
