When the 720 launched the suggested retail price was over R5 000. I notice now that the phone is selling for R3 655 at Orange (BTW, the 820 is even less...) It appears though that the 720 that is sold trough local providers includes the wireless charger and cover, and since this product is sourced from the UK, that it doesn't include the charger. Question: Is there anywhere locally where one can buy the 720 on prepaid? Does the wireless charger really matter?
 
Wireless Charger not so much but the cover it comes in has saved my phone twice from a couple nasty falls. The charger is more for convenience and alot better then fumbling with cables when I go to bed or at work.
Buying local comes with 2year warranty vs 1 year Nokia warranty alone. I've also hears some issues regarding Orange returns policies as they have to return the phone to London(?) if there is an issue.
 
Thanks @Pho3nix, I also thought the cover should add extra protection. Wireless charger seems quite convenient, there's a Youtube video showing how you can mount it inside the bedside table! Orange states that you should take the phone to the supplier for warranty repairs, in this case it would be a Nokia repair centre. Would prefer to buy it locally though, if I can find a shop that sell it ;0)
 
Got mine locally from Vodacom. It's on prepaid. Came with the wireless charger which to be honest is VERY useful. I never connect a cable to it. As I put it down next to my bed it starts charging so I never have to "charge me phone". I don't even consider the impact of not charing my phone as it is always charged. It's one less thing I care about in my life. Sounds silly, but it's a small thing that makes a big impact over time.

Yo! That's good news! What Vodacom shop did you get it from and for how much? Can't find any info on the web, only phoned one shop so far.

Price was R5599 when I got it a 2.5months ago at Vodacom. Try give MTN a call and see how much they are selling them for.
