I've been asking after a Telecom Galaxy S2.  Using the website Contact Us email I was told that there are new phones coming in early July (I know it's only the 5th, but still...) but when I queried it in store I was told that Telecom won't be stocking it.

Very hard to get a straight answer.

I've since seen a comment on another forum ( http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=84510&page_no=1#476770 ) that says "Thankfully this device is quad band 3G - so if you buy one outright from vodafone or anywhere else you can use it on XT with no problems."  I know next to nothing about these things, but see that Vodafone are selling the S2 as a handset only option.  If Telecom are not going to sell the S2, should I buy the Vodafone one?  Will it work on XT with a Telecom sim?  Will it need to be unlocked?

Of course if anyone from Telecom is on here and can tell me just to wait a little longer...

Thanks for any advice
