well i was just thinking of buying one anyway as it should still work here, but then i remembered my k800 which i bought through ebay.i started using it about a month b4 it was released in nz, txting was ok but i couldn't use the pxt service, and vodafone took a further 3 months to get k800 pxt settings up on their website for download.after that it worked fine.I will admit i have yet to try 3G services with it as i don't have a 3G sim card, but obviously that function isn't that important to me at the moment.however, i could end up with a situation like the k800 in that they don't have compatable settings to use, which would really f**k me off.i don't really see why a brand new SE G900 couldn't be used in nz with txt/pxt/3G etc. working on the vodafone network, as those are basic functions which the G900 and vodafone use everyday.
ALSO SE nz are releasing the C902, C702, X1, and G502 here (they are listed on the nz website as coming soon), so i can see why they aren't bothering with G900 and G700 as those two are covered by the C9 and C7.i guess nz being such a small market there is no point in crowding it with similar products.

Just send the Kxxx settings through anyways. They are all in the same format for newer SE.

I wouldn't send through the K series settings as they aren't for a UIQ phone (just in case it makes a difference). Send through the P1i settings and the G900 should be sweet. Essentially they are the same.

I hope I won't have any issues with an imported W980?

Nah, just go for the most similar phone's settings. Maybe the W910i. I don't think you'll be able to get some 3G features like video calling going though. But then, who uses that?

Errr... I do, sometimes
BTW, I emailed VFNZ tonight asking them whether they'll do a Vodafone Family type deal for data, a one person pays - 4 people use deal. Here's hoping!

Ok! Well you might be able to sort it. It will be interesting to see if it works! I always find that nobody I know has a video calling capable phone, so I've only used about twice in the several years I've been able to.
Fingers crossed for your data deal, but I think Vodafone won't be too keen on it at last until they release the iPhone and are forced to drop their prices a bit.

It will be cool when Telecom move GSM. Imagine the wicked pricing they will have to do just to retain customers for all the hastle of changing around. I will be back by then too. Yay for me.

@Jism
They're already discounting like hell to slow down the massive rush of customers to Vodafone. It seems everyone is on Vodafone these days. Only the business customers persevere with Telecom and then only those too conservative to change.
@M-O
Video calling won't be a major loss, I'm not sure if there is a video call camera on the W980, just so long as I don't have to wait six months to use the HSDPA and email client.
