Galaxy Nexus contract pricing revealed by Vodacom

Finally VC are moving away from the massive pay-in aspect of their contracts....
 
whats up with the 100mb of data for only 3months? and from what i can see the prices for those phones are anything but cheap.
 
Previously the red network said they would launch a contract that includes 100MB of data for R279 per month.

This deal is to cost R299 per month now, and 100MB of data is only given for the first three months of the 24-month contract.

the only thing more useless than 100mb a month is 100mb for 3 months.

It is a secret plot concocted between Vodacom and Nokia, the Nokia Lumia 800 is only R279 pm with 24x100mb data included. Consequently you are encouraged to go for the Lumia instead :D

ridiculous, they know they will cash in with users buying data bundles. Give them a taste of it for three months then let them run back for more.

they should give it for the full 24 months, its only 100mb!

android phones normally guzzle data, lol so they better cash in there i guess.
 
WOW, Guess Vodacom has been bought by Nokia&Microsoft. I can not see any other reason why the Nexus contracts look so bad.

Its as if someone dont want you to get the phones when you compare it to all the other top end phones out now.
 
This is why BB is still thriving in SA. Other brands have no chance.
 
Too late, sorry Android.

I m going to start saving for the new nokia 808. Don't care much for the operating system, but the 41 MP camera sounds awesome.

To be fair the camera takes dam good pictures and re-sample them to 5 Mp. You can set it to native mode but it will not be the norm. Its a pity about the OS its on. Hell I would even have gone Windows Phone for that camera, but not Symbian, I have my limits to what I would stoop to :)

You can read more about it here with some sample images that you can download. (41 Meg for 3 jpg's)
 
um, thought android was supposed to be cheaper?

my iphone 4gs talk 240 with 500megx24 is R529pm
 
I've been waiting for prices on these to see whether I'll be moving to MTN.

Guess I am.

Talk 240 is per minute billing.
It is cheaper because you use your "free" minutes faster.
