@Tahir, I see your'e a vodaman, its a shame Vodacom couldn't launch 3g by themselves, they had to bring in Vodafone to launch it for them, the reason is they jumped the gun knowing MTN was to launch and they didn't have the expertise and infrastructure to go with it by themselves,,,,,,shame they say they are africa's no. 1 network, makes you think........and about the 2 year warranty its all nonsense, my brother took his handset to Vodaworld which is 8 months old, they told him its out of warranty because it had some dings and scratches, I like to know which vodacom customer has never dropped or dented their handset in the 2 year period that they had it, you see it's only to market their brand, that's all............

@ Celltech Vodafone has 35% shares in Vodacom 4 da past 10 years it will have a say in what Voda does.Infact Vodafone wants 2 buy Vodacom from TELKOM.DID U KNOW MTN WAS ONLY GOING 2 LAUNCH 3G in 2006 bcause Voda launched it DEC04 they jumped 2 it + Cell C mentioned they will launch 3G in June05 but i dont think this will happend...Get a copy of ITweb Brainstorm mag Sep 04.MTN states clearly "MTN WILL ONLY LAUNCH 3G WHEN SA IS READY & we might launch 3G by June 05 and latest 2006"MTN'S Group CTO KAREL PIENAAR said in the same article if Vodacom launches a viable 3G soloution by Dec04 "I'll EAT MY HAT"Mrl Pienaar will b EATING HIS YELLO HAT UNTILL MTN LAUNCH 3G. Voda said why wait 6 months 2 a year when da tech is available NOW.....Coming back 2 your phone.Any phone that has been dropped & has signs off abuse will VOID YOUR WARRANTY.Look it up in your handset manual + Vodacare terms and conditions are stuck on every phone Vodacom sell.......I ONLY POST FACTS & NOT "HOT AIR"

I say again, i am a proud voda customer, but the warrenty is shit. They are very reluctant to fix warrenty handsets, and i had lots of friends that was told that its water damage, coz that aint covered in the warrenty. If they then hand it in somewhere else, its detected that THERE IS NO WATERDAMAGE.
Explain that!

@Rhino You said you took your phones to another place for repairs after repairs.DID YOU SEND IT TO THE MANUFACTURER. or to NON AUTHORISED REPAIR CENTRE.The agents will not repair a liquid damaged phone because it will give problems later and the manufacturer will not pay them.................Sorry for saying MTN will advertise there new rates on MONDAY but in most of my previous post i said SUNDAY

@tahir, the whole point is that vodacom said it wap water damage, in more than 1 case while a 3rd party, an authorised centre could find no liquid damage in any of the phones, but well other larger manufacturer faults.

Did you see MTN BLACKBERRY offerings....They will give the BB7290 @ R358pm with no free minutes and 3 months FREE sending and receiving emails.Vodacom gives you FREE UNLIMITED SENDING AND RECEIVING EMAILS @R349 +100 free anytime minutes.......This is the power of Vodacom and Vodafone.

See MTN has followed the trend of branding the Blackberry. @Tahir: What's the deal with GSM phones being Vodafone branded(Moto V520)...Saw it in the Sunday Times.
