Hey Guys just checked online and mtn offering iphone 4s on pre order. Due 16th dec. Maybe early christmas for us. :)
 
Just gave retentions at autopage a call to find out about the launch date and the consultant had the following to say:

1. the launch date of the 16th is not confirmed (which is strange considering its all over MTN's website?)
2. he mentioned that the 16th is just the launch date, and that the phone would only be available 2-3 weeks after that (which is even more strange, how can you have a product launch without a product?)

I am pretty sure that in every other country the phone was available on the day of launch?
as per the MTN website: "MTN to launch iconic iPHONE 4S to its customers on December 16 2011"....

anyhoo - he must be confused.
anyone with updated contract pricing for MTN yet?
 
Btw I recently reported problems with my iPhone 4S on iOS5.01 related to the signal issues ("Searching" constantly and "Invalid SIM") and terrible battery life.

As I also mentioned I would be installing iOS5.1 beta 2 to see if it would correct the issues. In summary; YES the problem is resolved... it's still not an official release but I'm more confident that it's not a hardware issue and will be fixed by the official release of iOS5.1

/EDIT It's definitely fixed by iOS5.1 beta 2; since I upgraded from iOS5.01 my 4S has not lost signal even once + the battery is definitely improved :)

Woohoo getting my phone tomorrow, 32gb, black, it is R1419 on anytime 1200, includes 250mb data, so it is basically about R80 per month extra for the phone.
 
MTN said via SMS they can deliver on Saturday.

OR I could go to Vodaworld at 8PM, register and collect my phone at 12AM tonight.... decisions!
