Tahir can't seem to understand that people hate paying for something they can get for free.

@Brix i dont know what you going to do when you buy your next phone.Vodacom phones are branded,MTN is said to be doing the same thing.The reason you have to pay because the networks wants to look after themselves and there tradepartner.I WILL KEEP ON SAYING THIS UNTIL IT GOES INTO YOUR HEAD "ONLY VODAFONE GIVES YOU FREE BROWSING VIA VODAFONE LIVE".When you are browsing for your free stuff,you are paying for browsing and downloading.Vodafone only charges you for the content NOT FOR DOWNLOAD.All Vodafone live handsets have the same interface.You said people like FREE STUFF WHY MUST THEY PAY FOR SOMETHING WHEN THEY CAN GET IT FOR FREE.Did you know that there are 1billion sms sent in SA every month and Exactmobile turnover in a month is R45 million.My point is people will still pay and there is business for everyone

LOL... No, even if I get a branded phone on contract will simply flash to it's original fw. You and a couple of robots might love similiar interfaces but I like variety, that's why I use SE and not Blokia. Can't comment on the money Exactmobile makes but they certainly ain't getting a cent from me, good luck to anyone downloading R50 games that can be downloaded for free by just using two brain cells and Google. Ok, keep repeating the marketing propaganda they've fed you... I'm not buying it.

@ Brix you said you love SonyEricsson interface well i got news for you.All VODAFONE LIVE handsets interface is the same as SONYERICSSON.You said you hate blokia and dont want to be a robot because the menus are the same on all Nokias.THATS WHY NOKIA IS THE MARKET LEADER because all there customers says NOKIA IS SO EASY TO USE AND IF THEY BUY ANOTHER BRAND.They have to learn how to use the new phone.Vodacom struck GOLD with VODAFONE just for this one thing.Yes Vodafone live menus will have some enhancement as time go by but they simplify the phone.............The problem with you i think is,You did not own or use a VODAFONE LIVE handset thats why you dont know how nice it is.

What's the topics that are most popular on Esato? De-branding branded phones. Overseas networks do it but I'm constantly hearing about how posters hate the Vodafone branded handsets and the Live menu...next time I'll try and play around with a branded phone but I doubt I'll be blown away.

The only reason people want to debrand the phone or dont like branded handset because they will love to change networks and a branded handsets have the mms and gprs settings of the network you buy it from.

You just said it yourself tahir..... Ppl like variety and a branded handset takes away your freedom to use whatever network you desire. With a vodafone handset vodacom can push call prices up, and ppl would just have to pay up, coz they cant use anything else.
Only reason exact mobile makes money is coz of dumb ppl.
Searching and downloading a good game wont cost you R50 anyhow so i cant see why i should pay.
Maybe me and brix will have k700 for life, but i AINT going branded.
The advantages is so littl
