P1n3apqlExpr3ss: Its good but im not exactly blown away Wheres the induced benefit for handset costs of the handset locking? SE Xperia Active @XT: $399, @Skinny: $389 the faq implies that only some hand sets are locked. "If you want to leave Skinny (boo), you might need to unlock your phone. " can't find info that says which handsets arelocked and which aren't, but maybe only the really cheap ones are, like the Huawei one that is only $59. I could be wrong, but that is the cheapest 3G phone I have seen in NZ

But if you were leaving and you brought your phone from Skinny, you would. So the generalisation is that you might have to, depending on where you got it from. Sam, Auckland Skype: tardtasticx

sbiddle: Those who have issues with their perceived pricing value need to take a look at the target market of the product. Skinny isn't aimed at everybody, it's a niche product aimed at a young target market. So much this. The commentary on Twitter today about Skinny is hilarious. iPhone 4 Speed Test XT vs. Vodafone - XT vs. Vodafone head to head on iPhone 4 Comparison Video Random thoughts about nothing.

ajw: Where are all the heavily subsidised in price handsets?. http://www.livingskinny.co.nz/shop.php Not here. Nokia C2-01. on Vodafone (unlocked), $119 On Skinny,locked (maybe), $109. xperia play looks to be about $10 cheaper than Telecom sell it for too Of course, we don't know which handsets are actually locked yet. Might only be some, like the mega cheapo Huawei. That is the cheapest 3G phone I have seen from a NZ carrier.

I do think Skinny will have to have a good hard look at their casual per minute voice rate if their masters (Telecom) wish to claw back customers from 2 degrees.

But I suspect they are more interested in wining back customers from Vodafone than from 2Degrees.

Why would anybody pay the 39c per minute casual rate when you (in effect) get 10c per minute calling on a $4 bundle? That's NZ's cheapest publically available mobile calling rate. *Need help configuring your Linksys ATA or IP Phones for New Zealand? Check my blog post

5c is really not much but the fact is that they set txt cost to 9c so it looks like they are trying to win customers back from 2degrees despite the different target market Cheapest Online Bookstore Free Worldwide Delivery http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/?a_aid=lhou021 MOBILE: Motorola Defy (Quarx JB 4.1.2) TABLET: Samsung Galaxy tablet OTHER: Asus laptop + Samsung ChromeBook

tardtasticx: Anyone have a sim from them yet? Mind posting a pic? ;D I've asked for one already. Have to wait and see when it gets here. Then I can let people know how easy to get the Skinny Details (2 ways I know of without jailbreaking) into the iPhone and if their "short codes" work properly on the iPhones.
