' That's my point exactly though... I can't POSSIBLY wait any longer once the P990 is released for a new phone - it's gonna have to be the P990 itself... What kills me is knowing that it'll likely be the very next release which will support DVB-H (and possibly / probably HSPA as well - or at very least HSDPA) - well before th 20-odd months of my contract is up and before I can upgrade...
' I'm gonna have to suck it up and deal with it - suffer through the next release and just drool over it and wait for the release thereafter! <SIGHS!>

LOL@Menagaryl...That's one thing I hate about contracts...what's the issue with networks not offering 12-month contracts as they do in the UK?...You'll pay more for your phone but at least you'll get the option of a free upgrade when the year is out.
At the rate technology is changing they might have to look at this option because there will be people with Nokia 5140's when cellphones are already available locally with HSDPA.

I can see a possible upgrade for the Z710 on the horizon that includes 3G. Alltogether the range of phones are perfectly spread out across all the market segments...but still SE phones are too expensive.

LOL!! SE phones expensive???
Compare to their biggest rivals Nokia SE is very well priced!
Any clown willing to pay R4500 for a N90 compared to a W900 for R3500 knows nothing bout phones or the value of money...

Very few people who got the N90 bought it cash...they all got their phones on contract.

I agree, the asking price on SE remains absurdly high, while the price of their competitor's handsets drops as newer models are phased in. Then there's the Oooh-i've-got-the-latest-phone angle to consider as well.... People are more likely to buy the latest Nokia/Samsung/Moto than an older SE that's similarly priced. I am, of course, referring to JoeSoap, to whom a phone is a phone, and very little more. He understands how to send mms, download from Exactmobile and precious little else. His ringtone is probably "Madam, your phone is ringinggg..." and his wallpaper limited to pix of family... You know the type... They get their music via bluetooth, and think Mxit is the hottest thing since the latest Zuma joke... In short, there are plenty of these people out there... And they're the type who the networks love! Think about it for a moment, how many people in your work environment ever use their phones for the Net, or to create sites, or to participate in forums? Now imagine an entire country peopled by this type of user... Scary aint it?
EDIT- pardon me for being so long-winded. Sitting at a carwash waiting for the KryptMobile to emerge, and this numpty at the next table in the waiting area is holding forth on how many vids his 6230i can store, and how cool his games are. I swear he's paging thru one of those very Exactmobile books waffling on and on about games and tones. Sies man, go online and get it for nix.
