I had a chance this morning to go have a look at the Telecom Store in Centreplace this morning in Hamilton, can say it was pretty much breathing room only in there, staff being run off their feet and a fair few handsets leaving the shop. The in-store advertising they have put post-paid on one side and pre-paid on the other, both doing direct comparrisons to Vodafone's Supa-Prepay pricing and explaining how per second charging works out cheaper. They had live demo handsets to play with also which was good, very nice presentation.

Went for a walk to Leading Edge on London st and it was pretty much the same again, breathing room only but a very similar lay-out.

I'm quietly wondering if some people are jumping the gun here however, given this is a long weekend the likes of Harvey norman, Bond + Bond, etc usually do Sales which includes mobile phone handsets, and I know they will sell XT handsets as well as Vodafone.
