Thanks broken. This wouldn't happen to be the one you removed by disassembling your phone would it?
I would actually like to give one a shot if you can provide?
That's the one. Half price.

I was quite excited about the prospect of getting an iPhone 3G - until I found out that the following:
1) It cannot send an MMS - bad news for me as I take enough pictures to warrant me now 'NEEDING' MMS. It seems like MMS has been here for years, so why it cannot send or receive MMS is baffling
2) It cannot take Videos. Unbelievable. In the youtube age, you are a no one if you cannot whip out the camera and take a quick video!
3) Most importantly (esp in SA) It cannot be used as a modem. There was some software which allowed you to use it's borked bluetooth stack to be able to transfer data from the HSDPA connection to a computer, but now it seems that it has been pulled thanks to AT&T.
Basics apple... Basics....
I think I will wait for the next generation - my N82 is doing everything I need... just missing a touch screen interface.

To be fair there is only one Vodafone country getting it then and that's India, Vodafone India probably don't want to be beat by Airtel.

So you think that somehow Vodacom is responsible for Apple not releasing it here yet ?
Yeah, seeing as you will only be able to get it from them...

Vodafone to be exact but Vodacom also delays and delays and don't give any info whereas all the other countries that hasn't launched yet has already given package prices with the iphone, vodacom has done nothing.

I import them and sell them but you can if you want. Just watch out for fraudsters.

16Gb's are crazy. R10000
Rather get one of the 8Gb's from me. Worth it. Never gonna fill your phone with 16gb's of stuff and even if you do the phone will be verrrry slow.
Got this mail today...
