Which phone to take?

[hermansteyn]

Hi at my new employer I get an employee benefit whereby I get an Talk 500 Contract (2 years) and only pay the fringe benefit tax on it which is at around R200/pm:

I need to select a phone and was looking at the following options:

- HTC TOUCH DUAL P5520: Pay in R1 537.86
- HTC TYTN 2 P4550: Pay in R2 620.86
- BLACKBERRY 8310 (GPS): Pay in R 397.86
- BLACKBERRY 8110 PEARL (GPS): Pay in R 283.86

Which of the above mentioned do you think I should get if you take the pay in into account (and whether it's worth it).

Or should I wait for the iPone 2 but who knows when it will be approved on the Vodacom network and in the meantime I loose out on the benefit?

Thank you.

iPhone = 20 July 2008

iPhone = 20 July 2008

I've heard that the phone will then be available in South Africa but that it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be available (approved) on the Vodacom network as of that date.

if u want to use your "work" email on our phone then a BB is the weapon of choice.
New iphone can also do that, but untested here anyway.

I have a TYTN 2 and wouldn't trade it for anything... gps not that great, but does the job... everything else is great about the phone, would recommend it

I'm SO tired of Nokio, Samsung, LG, Motorola....and even SonyEricsson!!

Can't wait for my iPhone!!!

*But, I will still get a SE W980 clamshell to do duty as my 'party' phone.

Sick all the above phones, then I think it's time to get a HTC, not a brick.
