Did u guy hear this story!
I had that the papers and TV was somehow giving false report about this story.
e.g. some said the guy was 30 somewhats years while the guy is only 21. Luck enough we had the story first on YFM.
The big question is how many other storys are reported incorrectly?
I heard the 21 yr old needed his id for a job... shame poor guy...

I agree with Brix, thins have improved. There are delays and mistakes everywhere. The main problem is our attitude towards each other.

What about people who need ID's to access social security like pensions and welfare.

Just came back from the local Orange shop at the Gallions Reach Shopping Centre.
They are clearing out the last of the SE Z1010 stocks,selling them for £69.99 (approx R790 with today's exchange rate)when you trade in any old brick.
Also,the Orange SPV C550 music phone (produced by the massive HTC group,owned by Microsoft)with WindowsMobile OS,complete with 512mb card,B/T,1.3mp camera,etc. is now going for £109.99,(approx R1230),also when you trade in your old brick.
If prices are dropping like this now,then roll on the post-Christmas sales...

@da wanqsta: Those
deals are awesome. Can you bring in just any phone as an exchange or will they only accept Orange branded phones?
What are the data rates on Orange?

@ brix,
You can take in absolutely ANY old brick,on any network.They don't even want the charger or manual!As long as the phone works,they'll accept it.
Methinks I'll be collecting my sister-in-law's old Siemens for trade-in purposes when I take her that Motorola C139 tonight...
Orange's data rates are NOT the best, by a long shot: £1 (R11.16 today) per MB...

That's quite nice... I won't mind picking up a branded/network locked phone for that price.
If data is that expensive how do people use wap and internet-based applications?

I guess it's not always a case of just taking the exchange rate into account,as I was doing in such instances.By this I mean £1 is over R11 for us,but to the Poms it perhaps is 'only' a Pound,perhaps similar to how we would say it's 'only R1'.
Just a wild speculative answer,obviously.
I am quite a price-conscious person,and I almost always sub-consciously change the prices into Rands to gauge a quick comparison.
Hence I post from my pc 90% of the time...

Price-comparisons are always good, even more so at this time of the year when the impulse-buying bug is at its most dangerous...

Very true,Kryptiik.
I wonder what percentage of people over-spend what they initially budgeted to be spending on pressies et al over the festive season...myself included.
