Yeah, next problem being that I'll likely end up with the Vodafone branded one instead of the generic parallel import I currently own... oh well. On the topic of "upgrades" My girlfriend had a Nokia 7390 that had an issue with the flexible cable for the screen that couldn't be resolved and she managed to get a Nokia 6500 as it was the most sensible direct replacement
Have to wait till Monday it seems as the insurance claims number I called (Listed as 24/7) won't actually accept a claim after hours
Dick Smith still has limited stocks of the k800i, and Expert Infotech (Somehow I doubt that the insurance company will go for a parallel import but I might give it a shot anyway)
How does the k770i compare?

Last week I was at St lukes Mall in Auckland and saw a Brown K800i for sale in a Vodafone kiosk - didn't know you could get Brown thru official channels. Some stores up here still have the Black models in stock.
From what I've read here, the K770 is better in every way than both K800 and K810, plus it's thinner too. I never really liked the styling of Black/Brown K800 or the Brown/Purple/Beige K770i but the Black K770 looks sharp!

Hi everyone! I'm back from my sister's two day wedding!
@frankthetank: The K770i is better or the same as the K800i in every way, apart from that it has an LED flash rather than a xenon. I guess its up to you whether or not its worth losing the xenon.
@soane28 and carkitter: Thank you very much. I must say the freedom of being able to drive whenever you like and with whoever you like without worrying is great! Soane28, its definitely worth it!
The wedding went really well. It rained a lot though and it was freezing cold, so that may have affected some of the photos, but I think they'll turn out fine. I took a good 150-odd photos myself, and there were plenty of other cameras about including a professional photographer so I'm sure there will be some great snaps. The reception went on until 2am this morning and I got next to no sleep, so I am really exhausted! Work tomorrow!

frankthetank - the K770 is nice, if you can put up with the ridiculously small screen, and the LED flash. Really like the lens cover myself, perfect for absent minded fiddling!
Oli - great to know you had a good time! Speaking of the weather, has it been cold or what?? Right now i can see my breath!
carkitter - looks like youve got plenty of student life ahead of ya! I picked a 4 year degree so its not over yet (good and bad).

Yeah its been freezing lately. Not so much today though... The sun actually came out for once!
I'm doing a 4 year degree too. But I don't think it matters too much though. I mean, whats another year when you've already done several years of school? Plus university is so easy going.

Pffft, I just emailed Expert Infotech asking whether their phones come with a one year warranty and got this in reply:
"Yes the phone comes with 1 year warranty. Its an imported item.It comes with 1 year warranty by Manufacturer Overseas, we will take care of its warranty for 1 year."
Lol, I'm sorry but I just can't give my money to a company that can't punctuate properly. Also, it doesn't sound very good to say "It comes with 1 year warranty by Manufacturer Overseas, we will take care of its warranty for 1 year."
It makes them sound like scammers, so screw that! Even if they are trustworthy, I'm not going to risk it.

I have bought computer components from them for good prices and had them turn up on time as expected so all good in that respect?
What are your main concerns with buying a phone from them? Apart from the warranty... On that note I believe that if you did run into problems with them you can always turn to Sony Ericsson themselves who will be able to exert force if necessary to a reseller of their product

True. But carkitter did visit them and they seemed a little dodgy. They are one of several phone sellers I'm looking at so they just sit at the bottom for now. I don't particularly trust importers too much anyway. I guess I'm being cautious.

Fellas, I'm just in the process of giving our New Zealanders thread first post a bit of a makeover. Let me know what you think!
