    Where the iPhone 4S is generally more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the HTC One X on MTN, some iPhones are available for cheaper than the Galaxy S3 and One X on Vodacom and Cell C.
    Just remember that the Samsung S3 on Vodacom only comes in 32Gig...so you need to compare it with the Iphone 4S 32gig....not 16gig .
    Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?
    Is ek miskien van goud gemake?

    If you hunting for a smart phone bargain, CellC is selling the Samsung S2, a brilliant phone in it's own right, for R 249.00/month on a straight up 50 24 month contract... I'm happy with that! The S3 is not that much different to the S2!

    Some times the internet is so slow, it would be faster to just fly to Google's headquarters and ask them this $h1t in person.!

    Yep. That's why both the 16GB and 32GB iPhone are shown.

    A comparison like this isn't built in a day. Only Cell C has a contract builder, so it sometimes takes quite a bit of work to get the prices and details of all the relevant contracts. For this particular article I actually put together fairly detailed spreadsheets for each of the operators to see how the prices change over the various contracts.

    I know MTN is set to have a new deal run tomorrow, but Vodacom and Cell C won't necessarily put out new deals this month (Vodacom runs new deals on the 6th or 7th, and I always lose track of which month there will be new deals and which month not).

    That said MTN's deals on these devices have largely stayed the same since they've launched them, while Vodacom and Cell C have launched brand spanking new contracts. Maybe I'll have to do a new comparison on the 7th, but I'd bet on this remaining relevant for at least another while (unless MTN decides to step up and compete against Cell C's Straight Up deals, that is).

    Do you get a 16GB S3?

    It's a great phone. My mom got one on her MTN 200 contract. Super smooth (Quad core!) with a beautiful screen.

    dont get me wrong its a great comparison, and can see the work put in, was just wondering if a day would have made any difference guess we will see tomorow

    and the bold part I can only hope

    There won't be much contest with the three players selected for this comparison, I'm afraid. MTN doesn't offer at least two of three devices on a cash basis, and Cell C's cash pricing is crazy expensive.

    Such a comparison is worthy of being an article on its own, I reckon

    Then you have an up and coming article

    Though comparison was good nonetheless.
