...would I be able to connect it to the Vodafone network and use it here in NZ?

It will work for voice and SMS - but you are responsible for configuring it for the Vodafone network for MMS use. IT may not support Vodafone live! or parts of it.

I hope you're not thinking of buying it at that price?!?!?

Parallel Imported have it for less.

We don't seem to have a Parallel Imported in Welly anymore, and I couldn't find it on the Vodafone site. I'll shop around for price if I decide to go for it - thanks for the heads up.

if you want any MMS or WAP settings for your vodafone mobile just go to http://wireless.vodafone.co.nz/ this will send you a text with automatic configuration settings, all you need to do is press accept when the text comes in.

So order one online from PI or coolmobile.net.nz then? More backup then one from a retailer in another country, and cheaper too.
