Talking of 3G phone does anyone actually know someone using a 3G phone? I've seen the Vodafone datacard from the occasional "show off" at my local coffee shop in the morning but never actually seen the Moto E1000 in use.

IMO I don't think Vodacom have marketed the available content on the Vodafone portal. Also if Nokia release a 3G model locally many people would sign up.

Honestly I don't know when this offer will expire but I'll be very pissed off if they stopped it.

Hello there
To answer some of your Q's
Ive seen the 3G phones that are currently in the country,
moto e1000, v800, and nokia 6630..-..(dont think it has video telephony)
3G will be fully operational with most of the 3G phones available in July-Aug...
Vodacoms 3G network is up and running but only in the main cities...
its also very slow with about 5-10 sec delay on a video call...
That e1000 is pathetic!! it has 1hr 30 min normal talk time....(without video calling) so imagine it with video!!!
As for GPRS rates I seriously doubt it will increase it will only get cheaper!!!! ps. it was lowered for a reason.

Yeah buddy on vodacom pay as you 'only' pay R2/MB.Is not that cheap but 'acceptable' Vodacom is testing the market.They hope that by dropping the price on GPRS people will use it to access the net on their PC and laptops.On the data-card contract you only pay 50cent per MB for the first Gig ! Thereafter is 2R/MB (for now) it should have jumped up to 10R but the public did not buy it

Mr Mario
Howsit
GPRS was dropped because of the 3G data cards using so much GPRS...
If you buy GPRS (my meg) bundles it about 60c per MEG, and thats EXCELLENT compared to MTN's prices.....
