This morning I'm heading over to the Vodashop in Somerset Road to see if they can upgrade the firmware.
Went over to Vodashop and they told the reason for my phone's funny behaviour of late is water damage...would cost me R280 to fix.

With all due respect to VodaShop, why is it that "water damage" is their response to anything they can't easily solve? I can just picture the Voda repair dude at an accident scene, being asked why he caused a collision answering "Water damage..."

Yea. Voda almost always use the waterdamage excuse when they got to fix a phone under warrenty.

The way the sales rep explained it to me it seems like the phone would've been damaged whether I'd used a pouch or not. Plus I'm extra careful with phones, I don't use my phone outside while it's bucketing down. The indicator showed that it was charging even though it wasn't plugged into the charger.

My point exactly, Brix. It's another thing if we're deliberately careless with our phones, but those dudes always make it sound like we go swimming with our phones... btw, any1 seen that commercial, German i think, of the little girl washing her mom's laptop in the kitchen sink? Hilarious!

Yep, it's crazy but someone's got to make money. Other than my issue with the battery indicator the phone's in good nick.

Brix, i remember that some Nokias have that quirk as well, in that should they be charging and the jack is suddenly removed the charging indicator carries on blithely unaware that it has no source of power supplying it with happy juice... Maybe something similar with your phone?

Weighing up everything I decided against paying the money for the "repairs"... Went over to the Vodashop at Cavendish checking out a EGB-10 Gameboard...the R499 price tag put me off.

Hi all (it's been a while....)
I hear that the local networks have finished doing their testing on the K750i. The SE shop at Vodaworld expects to get stock around the 20-22 August. Any ideas when the SP's will start selling these phones??
Any ideas how long it will take before they are available as a 'free' upgrade?

Hiya Rob. I popped into a Vodashop this afternoon, enquired from the sales assistant the availability of the 750i, was met by a stony blank-eyed stare... "Watse ding is dit daai??" was the eventual response... Needless to say, i didn't tarry long...
