Almost feels like we are in another world here in NZ when you look at the vodafone iphone prices and plans in Australia..
Will we ever see anything like this here I wonder ??

cafeg: Interestly enough. If you compare the OZ to the NZ plan.
Basic NZ Cost is $699 + $960 = $1659 over 2 years on a Iphone 40 plan
Oz Cost on a 2 year contract @ $69 as month = $1659 for 2 years on the lowest contract.
Sure the free calling minutes are much higher and other benefits but the NZ contract still has a data allowance and both OZ and NZ contracts are $1659 over a 2 year period.
In reality NZ Vodafone could give a free Iphone with a $69 a month 2 year contract and still get the same $$$ for the contract term ...
How about it NZ Vodafone ???

They could do something like that, but I think they'd prefer your money :)
No other provider here can offer the iphone on a contract with a subsidy (excluding telecoms 'buy the phone outright and bring it to us' offering) so they don't really have anything to compete with.

You also have to take into account the fact that handsets are preordered in bulk, and the amount dictates the price you pay per unit, as with most wholesale units.
VFAU will move probably more than half a million units (125,000 in first 3 months.. Zdnet), so if you cover VF for the potential loss, tell them to ship 500,000 handsets, just so you can get one for free. As well as everyone else!
If your wrong watch out though, $200 million is a lot to lose if you cant ship that many!
MikeyPI: But thats my 10c.
It doesnt look like VF operate as one global entity
