[4Motion]

Will there be bundles ie new BB9900 and playbook on a contract

Only on a Talk 1000

Only on a Talk 1000

We can create bundle deals on all contracts on request from the client...but then there will be substantial pay in amounts involved from the client. Should still work out cheaper than the client buying it cash though.

A friend already ordered the 9900 and a 16GB playbook on a T1000 and it is free.

mmm interesting. Tried to look up the deal on the system but it is down. Urg. We have not yet received the dealsheets for the 9900 and Playbooks from Vodacom so I cant comment.

I just worked out a manual deal on the system quickly.

Blackberry 9900 + Playbook 16Gig @ R4,579.00 cash pay in on Talk 1000.

I checked for financed deals or any preloaded deals for these devices and could not find any. Is your friend getting it from Vodacom Direct? My only guess is that they worked out a financed option for him.

So what is the cash price for the BB9900, Playbook 16Gig and 32Gig?

I am not going to lie....it is going to be expensive as a cash purchase guys. Very expensive. Unless the pricing gets amended when the stock actually arrives.

I mean on a contract how much would the phone cost per month and how much free min would one get?

 

[KevRSA]

I'll just wait till incredible corruption brings it out! will be much cheaper there...

All current indications are Sept international launch, but then we might have to wait longer still for SA release. Why I'm now looking at other options as it feels as if RIM is losing the plot here. I've also read that OS7(.5) will be the last of its kind and will be replaced on later handsets by QNX ... resulting in another Symbian mess. No way I'm signing a 24 month contract to see the OS dumped early-on during this period.

What if they offer QNX as an OS upgrade option... its not impossible.

That is difficult to say as I dont know how much financial backing Vodacom might throw in on certain packages. It really is hard to speculate on this. As soon as I get the dealsheets I will update my sticky thread...scout's honour.
