Seems that some mtnsp outlets have trouble getting this phone. Anyone know of somewhere in the Stellenbosch region I can get a SE W850i on contract?

That's what I did when I was trying to get hold of a N95. I phoned every outlet in the Western Cape. Well, almost.:D

Same when i got my K750i. Think i might have been the first in the province with a consumer model. It still had the old interface and not the newer K800 walkman menu layout.

Always a hassle getting a SE in this province. ....... no problem though finding a gazillion nokias though :/

I just called the cellphonics store in stellenbosch on the number 021 883 8552 and i spoke to a guy by the name of Arief. he has just checked his stock list and he says that the stock should be there by the end of this month. i wouls suggest keeping the number and asking for him round that time.

This appears to be the only store that shows up on my internal list, those guys must be making a killing in your area!

As I understand it, it is a countrywide shortage, so all outlets will get it at +- the same time. The guy at the MTNSP outlet also said it might be at the end of the month, but probably later...

I'm thinking of getting it on cellc or virgin, or even *gasp* vodacom. Their deals are better than mtn's anyway.

I'm in Jo'burg and I phoned every outlet in the W. Cape for my N95, and everyone in Natal, in the Freestate... Good luck - I know the frustration!

At least I found what I was after! :cool:

persistence is indeed the key to success, its just sad that you have to try so hard to get something that should be readily available:sick:
