    +1. I went to the nearest vodashop yesterday then i ask if they have G300 available ,they told they don't have it, but when i mention the U8815 model number ,they said they can order it but it may take 3 weeks before they get the stock. I have never bought anything online but there some good bargains out the for Samsung Galaxy S2 (2nd hand). So what do you guys think of BB9320 or 9360 curve range or HTC Wildlife?

    No, no, no, no.
    Really, consider the Lumia 610. It's very well loaded for the price.

    Well you might be a BB guy I don't know. The 9360 isn't so bad in that case, I guess. But avoid the Wildfire it's horrendously underpowered.

    I picked up an HTC Desire HD w/16gb the other day for r1100 from the forums though. If you look around you can find the deals.

    Or get yourself a Galaxy Ace, not a killer phone, but with Android 2.3.6 it's very good!

    Can get it on any TopUp contract/cash for cheap.
    The Samsung Galaxy S2 - It is the only phone you will ever need.

    Getting myself that phone. Looks awesome. Getting extra battery and 4GB sd card for R1850. Looks like a epic phone. Will see when I get it in a couple of weeks. Not to sure if I will be charged customs fee but will see. Bought lots of phones from them but never paid customs fees but some people that imported stuff from china did so hope I don't have to.

    I wouldn't always advise people to buy online but there are good phones that you can get from china and with prepaid cards from vcpay you can pay with paypal ect ect

    Screen is only 260K color?? Not 16M? Does not sound right. And in the heading they say 512MB RAM...or is it 1GB?

    You can get cheapies, but I wouldn't take the risk. Rather buy local and get a warranty on the phone.

    How much in Rand value for everything?

    Interesting info about smartphones. Which ones actually have good speech quality? That is important to me, since the BlackBerry is dreadful and I have stopped using it. Tried a Chinese import and while it would play TV stations and even had a spell-checker, dual SIM and all that, the speech quality was poor.

    Best budget phone for voice quality I've used is the HTC Wildfire S - it is really crystal clear. I would go so far as to say that it's miles ahead of the Desire HD's call quality.

    The Ace is not far behind, not bad at all.

    Wonderful, thanks. So good to get an independant opinion instead of the box movers in the store
