Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.
I knew you wouldn't be impressed.
$299 is a fantastic price for the V640i. Two of my workmates have them, one in gold, one in black.

Not impressed at all. I could have waited, paid less, and got a 4GB M2?! That's so annoying! I wouldn't go for black now that I've had the Havana Bronze for a while, but that memory card and extra cash in my pocket would have been handy. Wheres my angry faced smiley?
@K71: What's that? some kind of import tax or something?

yes oli, alot of things you are sent from overseas will have a gst charge payable if the value of the item/s is stated, or deemed to be over a certain amount by customs.
last time i bought from these guys the stated value was given as us$100, so either customs opened the package and gave it a valuation, or (more likely) the seller now puts the correct value on the customs form.
oh well, it's still cheaper than buying an new k850 or P1 online from vodafone!!!

Well thats pretty sh*t... Its like hidden charges I guess. Thanks for the warning!
And yes, its definitely still better than buying from Vodafone.
So have you got your G900 yet mate?

not yet.the gst charge is payable on delivery.no pay, no package.maybe this morning it'll get here.i don't think its too bad when you are getting something cheap anyway.a G900 for $120 less than a P1 is cheap i think!!!although yeah, it could've been $200 less than a P1 without the extra gst.......
it's late!!shouldn't you be in bed?

Haha, nah I'm normally awake pretty late just hanging around on here. Its annoying cause this site comes alive while us NZers are asleep, and unfortunately because of Esato I've gotten into the habit of very late nights which screw up the following day for me...
I guess I'll sleep now.
Here's hoping your G900 arrives! I'm really interested to read your impressions of it!

There's no way you could've known the price would fall this fast, given Vodafones SE neglect in the past. Besides, you've had a W910 since release which is pretty exciting, been part of all the W910 discussions all this time while the phone is still relevant overseas, and moved up ALOT from the V630i!
I guess this confirms the decision to buy on price from overseas sources.
Perhaps you could complain to Vodafone directly about this. Is the W910 available overseas with a 4GB M2? Such a dramatic change in value within 4 months is unprecedented AFAIK. When I worked for Honda, the 95YM Odyssey sold for $54,000. One year later they dropped it to $45,000 and ended up having to compensate owners who complained! I would certainly email them about it.
