Thanks very much K71, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
I think the Plemix option is my best one because I'm not too keen on Expert-Infotech. I will wait and see if carkitter has anything to say about them though.
I wonder if I could avoid the tax by asking Plemix to put a low value on it? Haha I guess I might get in trouble for that.

well look through their shipping policies.they may lower the value if requested, but most likely not to a ridiculous amount.even if it saved you $15 or so on the gst cost it would be worth it.(i just had a quick look, and no mention of lowering the value if requested is there, but it never hurts to ask!!)
my G900 came in through Fedex, and they give you a call to let you know there is a charge to be paid, so you can then ring them up and sort out payment on delivery, or give them C.Card details for direct payment.although i think the nz call centre is actually in india, which is a bit of a worry communication wise, but it all worked out in the end.

Sorry for the lack of response, I've been in bed for 3 days with the worst fever
It looks like I missed alot.
I would certainly buy from Expert Infotech because of thier prices, but only because I live 20mins away from thier store. I would want to test the device in store before I parted with any cash. I dont know whether thier phones are branded or not as when I visited them last, not a single phone was on display!
Many of the importers list SE phones as 'low stock level'.
That means they have no stock at all as was the case with EI when I asked to see a T650; they said it'd be 3 weeks away which obviously means they import to order. I'd be very cautious about paying up front for something which may not be in stock because if it becomes unavailable at thier supplier, you possibly won't be offered a refund but the choice of another phone and maybe not even an SE at that.
Call or email first to check availability and confirm a date for delivery before sending payment and keep a paper trail and notes pertaining to all phone calls. You probably won't need it but if something goes wrong it becomes invaluable.
Plemix seems like the best option ATM for you.

Thanks for your response! I hope you're feeling better now mate.
Yeah I'm definitely leaning towards Plemix.com, and I'm watching the price waiting for it to go down! Quite excited really.
Obviously seeing I live in Christchurch, it makes it a lot harder for me to buy from an Auckland retailer. Buying from Expert Infotech just makes me a bit worried that they'll give me a branded handset or something. I dunno... They are cheaper, but they just seem dodgy for some reason.

@M-O
Could you add W595 to the first post as Coming Soon please? Unfortunately the others don't appear to be NZ bound. Surely the W902 will be a goldmine for importers?

That is really strange... I would have thought the C902 would be the best phone for NZ out of the three that were announced. Judging by the (un)popularity of the W910i here, I would have thought they wouldn't take up a similarly specced slider.
BTW, Vodafone have dropped the 4GB card from the W910i package. So I guess it was only for a limited time. So I'm not so annoyed now that its just a $200 price drop.

May as well do a Vodafone store update:
It looks like the K610i has finally been removed (who would buy it at the same price as the V640i anyway?) along with the W200i and now there are just 5 SE phones available: The P1i, K850i, W910i, K770i and V640i. No price changes at the moment.
Anyone else get the feeling Vodafone NZ is phasing SE out though?

It's felt that way for 2yrs now, but just when
products appear to be petering out... along comes some more stock in a different colour to limp along alittle further. I am of course thinking of the Red/Silver K610i that replaced the V630i, the Pink W200 and the recent additions of Black K770i and Black W910.
There will always be
phones in VodafoneNZ's lineup, just the usual poorly selected range, late and overpriced, with no accessories, and many features disabled. You know, business as usual...

Yeah you're probably right. I wonder if this means the C902 is coming soon. I am very interested to see what price Vodafone think they can get for it. Should be worth a laugh!

Well, here's some news! I just went shopping for some fancy shoes and popped by the first mobile store on my through the mall, and guess what caught my eye!
A black W350i on display! It looked to be brand new stock, with no info on display. But it did have a price: $299
