iPhone finally arrives

At this stage does anyone know whether Google Maps for the Apple iPhone 3G has been sorted out for Southern Africa yet? Google Maps coverage in South Africa is not only outdated but has massive gaps in the information it provides. If Vodacom hasn't sorted this out, I reckon it'll be the reason they lose my business with them.

Lastly, to really get you wondering, one of the statements above (that you believe to be fact) is actually incorrect. But you'll have to guess which one. ;)

Oh my word. Vodacom is run by monkeys?
Sheehs, this is laughable...
So, you standing in line.. sign the forms, get the phone, and then they tell you how much its gonna cost you?

Time for a role play.

VODACOM: Sign here here.
(You sign)
VODACOM: Here is your iPhone sir, the 8GB model like you wanted.
YOU: Man, that thing is so cool.
YOU: So its mine, i own it?
VODACOM: Yes sir. All yours..
YOU: (Getting up and walking away) Finally... Oh, btw how much does it cost?
VODACOM: R10 million a month, sir.
YOU: Flip.
VODACOM: But you have already signed, so if you cannot pay it, we will seize your house, car, and all worldly possessions. Should you still fail to comply with your 36 month contract, you and your entire family will be sold into slavery. It's right there in the contract.

Just got a mail from Apple

Just got a mail from Apple.
No details yet, and the link doesn't say anything except that you can get it from Vodacom, which doesn't have details either.

Lame.:p
 
So by tomorrow morning we should know what it is going to cost us?
 
@ vodacom3g

Sorry about that, seems like the vodacom guys are also left in the dark by Apple.
Being a Mac-user (fanboy....whatever!) they are really starting to piss me off.
I have a iphone 2G, loving it. But the 3G will be TOO expensive.
Wish it was still in the 2G concept.... :(

Cant wait to see what is going to happen though.

I suspect most of us in the civilised world will know tonight by midnight, but those poor souls living in places where they turn off the lights by 8PM (like EL), will probably only know Friday morning. ;)

He strikes again. Like lightning :D

Luckily my bed-time is 8pm, so the East London Light-off-time doesn't affect me ;)
 
another one for the roumour mill:

"On the prepaid option, the 8GB version will retail for R7999 and the 16GB version for R9799. The Cellucity spokesperson could not yet confirm the contract options, as they are still awaiting confirmation on whether a pay-in will be required or whether it will be worked into the monthly contract fee."

"A Cellucity spokesperson, however, confirmed that the iPhone 3G will indeed be available at all branches, which will be open from 6am to midnight on Friday."

Actually, the parents here will know that kid's bed-times do actually change during school holidays; they seem to wake up much earlier. :rolleyes:

LOL, so true, doesn't stop after school either, I was up and going early yesterday, today was a different story, but then when do you get time to have a few drinks on a Wednesday nowadays anyway.

BTW Imagine for a second Microsoft tried the same release stunt as we're experiencing here:eek:...... RIOTS in the streets I tell you, Billion dollar fines for manipulating the market with unfair competition practices ........
