Do any of you have the contact details for Blackberry SA?
I want to know when they are planning to grace us with the 9780.

I am so sick of having to wait for stuff to get to this f ing place.
Why do we not get these devices released here when they are released overseas?

I have to sign a contract now and that is the phone I want :mad:
 
You can't contact them directly and even if you could they would tell you that it depends on the networks as they have to approve the handset. I suspect it will be available around February.
 
Remember if something goes wrong they'll just replace it with a new unit so there's not much to worry about really. If it had higher resolution I would probably have gone for the torch too. Otherwise wait for early next year when the 9780 does come out. We tend to wait 3-4 months from American release before we get Blackberry's (well that's been the case thus far). Although the 9700 is well priced at MTN presently I think it's about R309 or something similar. Although I would wait for the improved RAM and camera of the 9780 if I were you.
 
I have a contact at Autopage Cellular and he will inform me when the 9780 is in stock. They do not have an ETA yet.

Very irritating, but it seems to me we have to wait...
 
It may be a wait before the 9780 is launched. Rim will want to get rid of it's 9700 stock on hand.
 
I'm also keen on this phone but still no sight of it in any ad campaigns. :mad:
 
Why dont you sign a month-month contract untill the phone you want is released. Then when the phone is available...you migrate the package to a standard package and then you updgrade the next month and get the phone.
 
I'm actually thinking about getting PAYG. Cancel my current contract and just wait and see. I can cancel cos the contract is actually expired. Gonna go find out about it later after work.
 
i bought my 9780 at handtec.co.uk . it took them 1 week to deliver the phone to SA via UPS. awesome service - unlike anyone in SA. customs+shipping+cost = R4600. vodacom sells the bold 9700 for R5500.
 
You should buy from berryfix.co.za, I have used them before, they are excellent.
 
I dont wanna buy it out right. Contract is better for me. Cant afford the cash outlay so 24month contract (albeit more expensive) is the only option I have.
 
any update on when this phone is getting here?
