Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
I'm on Vodacom Talk 130 through Autopage/Supercall. I'm paying normal contract rates, plus a R256 pay-in for the phone.

If you don't mind, I really don't know what the rates are for the Talk 130. Please tell me?
Talk130 is R315/month, for 130 any-time minutes.
I would guess that you'd get the same pay-in deal on Business Call (R185/month, no bundled minutes), and of course on Talk240 (R430/month).
Don't know about Weekender contracts, I'd expect a substantially higher pay-in though.

Danke.
any idea on MTN pricing?
At Vodashop (Vodaworld) it the pay-in is R819 for Business Call, and about R2,6k for Weekender.

any further news in this regard? Wanna upgrade from E71 on MTN Anytime 350...
How is the phone running?
How is the phone running?
After about 8 weeks, it's still looking good. The camera isn't great - my N73's 3MP camera did a better job, I think. But as a business messaging tool, no complaints. A solid replacement for the E71. The optical trackpad works. Having a 3.5mm jack for the wired headset means you can use those Sennheisers you have at home. The keyboard is surprisingly usable. The build quality is very good. I don't make lots of calls, but my Gmail account gets pushed to the phone throughout the day, and I sync my calendar to my laptop every 15 minutes, so Bluetooth and wifi are always on. Despite this, the battery life is a consistent 2 days at least.
I did flash the firmware - seemed like a good idea, and it upgraded the maps application (just watch out for the size of the download - you don't want to do this under time pressure).
I wouldn't think it's a must upgrade from the E71 though (unless you're renewing a contract, and handing the E71 down to some deserving person...).

that is exactly what is happening... handing it down to my wifey and she cannot wait!
I have been considering the BB Bold 9700 as well but don't really see what it can do that this one can't. The "free" data service is quite awesome (R60/m) but then I don't download huge amounts of data unless it's through the laptop with phone connected, and BB cannot do that.
Anyone know what MTN's pricing is like? I'm on Anytime R350 and hoping the phone is free...
Thanks a million!
