document.write("Seems Vodacom think they're being very cute with their pricing.  \"Damned if we do, damned if we don't\" in a manner of speaking.  <br /><br />My gut feeling is to purchase it overseas, on reading this article as the expectation was that this would be a phone with NO add-in cost based on its overseas pricing, but how would that really help me?  The cash cost would be more-or-less the same as the business contract expected add-in pricetag but without their Vodacare promise (i.e. 2-year warranty on handsets, etc.).  <br /><br />So it seems this is a sure-fire way for Vodacom to reap massive earnings.  <br /><br />This is just so vexing and sneaky, I want to spit!.

document.write("I live in the USA and have been in South Africa for about two months now.  Brought my iPhone with me, had it cracked (bricked) and have been using on the Vodacom network since.  I can get you a 3G phone for much less than the proposed price and send it out here.  The price is ridiculous!!  It's so evidently a rip-off, like just about everything else in Mbeki's kingdom.  By the way, the phone is not that great, people.  Really.  There are better devices out there.  It's a gimmick, has certain advantages, but it is over-hyped.. Johann");
