Had a brief look at the W850i (in black) and a purple/white W710i at the local CPW store during my lunch hour.
I really like the look of the W710i, but it's a really chubby handset; certainly no slim RAZR or Samsung Ultra Edition by a long shot.
I'm gonna be nit-picky and say that I really wish that SE had included autofocus with the W850. (a lot has been discussed about this on esato already.)I enjoy taking pics when visiting new places etc. and find this omission a real shame...I don't understand how the W800i and W810i can have, but not this latest Walkman incarnation. ( I don't see it as a budget Walkman phone like the W550i or W300i...)

Eish ja, at least we made it thru Monday, folks... Two short little days then it's Friday
Brix, hope you made it out of that queue with your sanity intact. Ever since the post offices have been handed some of the Traffic Dept's responsibilities the long queues have decreased significantly down here.

@da krypsta: I made it out of the traffic department after two-and-a-half hours...Generally the people working there are courteous but they are under-staffed...Everyone thought these problems would be sorted when we voted Helen Zille as mayor.

"Thank you for getting in touch with Virgin Mobile. We aim to deal with
all your queries at breakneck speeds.
With regard to your query, it is being sold at selected Edgars, jet and
CAN stores. Unfortunately I don't have a list of the stores at this
point but what I suggest is that you can contact the one of the stores
and find out which stores have that special. R55.00 with R50.00 airtime
is quite a deal!"
I got this from the VM customer care line. Please not e spelling, and the fact that nowhere in the ad does it say "selected" stores.
As for contracts... I love mine (for the most part). If I get tired of my upgrade handset I have room to buy another one. No problem. But I won't go buying a handset as a standard.

There's been a lot of things. At some point I upgraded my package to talk 120 then later I wanted to degrade, they told me that I have to pay some good amount of rands. But they didn't refunded anything when I was upgrading the package.
I just don't understand this.
But when you do your upgrade, you can choose whatever package you want to be on for free!
@Brix thanks for reminding me... the K800 supposed to have that feature!!

Hey doc,
Good to have you around here again. I'm trying to imagine how much the media in India must be covering the build-up of the highly anticipated Champions Trophy.
I see that India are facing those Convicts in yellow ODI attire in Group A...

There is an SE service centre in Midrand near vodaworld. Anyone know if they will debrand cellphones? I know they update firmware etc.
