Is it only my imagination or has both mtn and vodacom gprs been patchy lately, mostly late night?

this is (in my opinion) because of the cellular revolution we now know as MXIT. think abt it. they r pumpin 400 000 + users now. so Vodacom and MTN's bandwith is been seriously pushed to its limits. plus with 3g slowly but surely growing in the country more n more consumers are using 3g cellular phone or connect cards for internet connection. its kinda amazing once u think abt it hey.

@wazarmoto: Welcome to the thread. Personally I don't like Mxit but have to admit that a lot of people are using it and you're probably right when saying that the service has put a strain on networks' ability to deal with the demand for bandwidth.

I doubt mxit users affect the GPRS usage or affect the speeds... its the true wap and 3G users that affect it...

A colleague, interested in getting the P910i on contract, got told by Vodacom that the phone has been discontinued.
Hopefully this is a sign that we might be getting the P990(I'm not excited about it) soon after it's European release.

I am absolutely unexcited about the P990 either. And then, there's the W950 as well to complicate matters for those interested in this class of SE phones.

@AYA: Not that I hate the P990, it's just that the design doesn't do it for me and the fact that they've made the screen slightly smaller...it looks to me if things have been placed ontop of one another.

Mxit is really immensely popular. I've been using it every now and then to communicate with a few buddies abroad, also with one or two South Africans who haven't discovered wapmail yet.

We sort of seem to be in the same boat
No; I don't hate it either. It just isn't particularly inspiring to me.

Like all the naysayers, I'll probably love it once I have it in my grubby paws.
@AYA: This one is especially for you,
this is the apartment of the erstwhile governor of Bayelsa State which has been attached by local prosecutors.
