Hahaha that Bob Jones article is great. Its funny, it reminds me of what my mum was telling me about a week ago. A man called her in regard to a painting that he wanted to buy from my mum's art gallery. He wanted some details about the painting so he rang up and asked mum for the shop email address. My mum was a bit confused about why he wanted the email address when they were already talking on the phone, so she offered to give him any details he wanted right then and there, via phone. To that he said, "No, no, I want to send an email and get the information".
Now that just shows how screwed up we've become due to technology. This guy, rather than talking in person, wanted to go the anti-social, anonymous route and send an email. Just like young kids preferring to text each other in horrible text language than to give each other a call. Calling is so much quicker. It doesn't make any sense.
Don't get me wrong, text messaging is great. But I just think that having a whole one hour or longer conversation via 160 character text messages is plain ridiculous. At that rate, soon people will be texting their friend sitting next to them, or parents will be texting their children to come to the dinner table when they're only in the next room.
Phones are great. Just use them in moderation!

MyMobile Magazine has C902 listed at $899, same price as the LG Secret, N81 and P1i. C702 is available according to SE's wbsite but isn't in the magazine or on Vodafone's Online Store. Dick Smith Electronics has the original N95 at $799 and K800i at runout price of $299.
On the down side, it looks like S302 is no longer coming to NZ.

Yeah I saw the C902 in it, but I've yet to see it in any shop. I've seen no sign of the C702 at all, so I doubt that one. The SE NZ website isn't run by SE NZ I think.
Anyway, that $899 price for the C902 is crap. I don't expect I will be paying any more than $730 when I get mine, and that's with warranty, everything working fine, and no Vodafone branding!
The S302 is no loss in my opinion.

what about c905 hopefully it won't be a horrific cost. when it comes out I'll do a search on price spy. I wont pay much over $700 even if it has 8.1 mp camera and looks really cool (imo)

Even parallel importers won't sell it under $1000. Its one of the first 8MP phones so it won't be cheap even at an importer unfortunately. I shudder to think what price Vodafone is going to ask for it...

Probably be priced similar to the N95 8GB - $1399
Can't see it getting anywhere near $700 at all.
What about W902 when the importers get it. $999 on release?

Yeah I'd say your estimates are about right, carkitter.

Looking at the NZ SE range I'd say the big news will be the X1 and the W595 which if priced at $599-699 on release it'll take off. Still can't believe we're not getting the W902, the importers will be laughing all the way to the bank!
Judging by the special price on V640i's and the short life-span of the V630i here, I'm wondering if Vodafone are holding off releasing the G502 until their ready to do to the V640i what the K610 did to the V630i, probably at a price of $399 too.
The K770i and C702 clash also. Even more reason why Vodafone should have gone for the T650i.
