No more Samsung INNOV8?

[S1lv3r H4wK]

I am a few weeks away from upgrading, but the samsung code named the InnoV8 or i8510 is no where to be found.

I have a TopUp 315 contract and don't mind paying in on the phone but the only place I can find the phone is on the autopage cellular site. But I found out that joining them requires alot of paperwork eventhough the contract would still be with vodacom.

Does anyone know perhaps which dealer still has the phone or where I can get it online?
Vodarep?

Thx in advance.

The payin on the Innov8 is around R2500. I would not go above 2800, also I'm not a big Iphone fan.

The Innov8 is old news... HTC Desire? Samsung Galaxy S, if you're sammy-inclined?

Talking about the Samsung I9000? (Galaxy S) I just had a look at it does not look too bad. How is the Android 2.1 os though? And is it availible yet?

I'm biased - I've had my Desire for about a month or so now & Android still blows me away almost on a daily basis. I'd recommend you look at the Desire as well, but the fact that you were after the Innov8 leads me to think that you're probably looking for a substantial camera; something the Desire doesn't really deliver on. 5MP is enough for me though, and I much prefer HTC's UI overlay to anything Samsung's cooked up over the last few years.

Android = Awesome, as long as you are willing to sell your soul to Google. Syncing, mail and whatnot is heavily slanted towards Google's own services, but it does work damn well.

Thanks Enigma, think I'm going to wait a while and see what comes up rather than rushing off and getting a phone I end up not enjoying seeing that I do spend alot of time on my phone. Like most of us here at MyBB not tech impared I rather enjoy a feature packed phone, which the Legend and the Galaxy S seem to be.

Just a last quick question, what happens after your 24months if you don't go to a dealer to upgrade? Do you just stop recieving airtime, seeing that I am on a topup contract?
