Vodacom's new branded Android Smartphone

Quite impressive, I guess the phone is locked into vodacom. I am sure the fixes for that will be out soon...I hope. Ahhhh no support for WiFi just moved from impressive to a load of crap.

would be interesting for a head to head shootout of the smart 4 mini VS the MTN Steppa. Cost, specs, deals. should be fun to read
 
Also, make Jan use it for a week and do a review :)
 
I think the only thing that I don't like about this device is the memory. It's borderline. One can expand space by adding SD, but you're stuck at 512 MB memory. And that's just a wee bit too tight. They should have added another 256 or preferably 512 MB.

Cheap Chinese phone this is.
 
The Smart 4 mini also features a range of Vodafone services, including Vodafone Cloud.

Edit: No wifi connectivity? You must be joking!
 
Was getting excited until....

So, the "Vodafone" version sports WiFi & the "Vodacom" version NOT!!!

Is it safe to assume the "Vodacom" hardware includes WiFi support, but has been deactivated...?

WHY,WHY,Vodacom?I'm in the the market to buy a reasonably priced 4"+ screen phone for my son and this had "Killer Deal" written all over it until the mention of lack of "wi-fi" put me off.

So then,does it have Google Playstore?
