I understand the wait, and if i had accurate information would be happyish, however it looks like others that ordered after me are getting ETA's and i am not.

Yet Vodafone are claiming first come first serve.

I am locked to them for another 2 years but after that, i will have a serious think about if they deserve my loyalty.

What are the reasons you guys have ordered throught Vodafone rather than dealing with Apple direct?

Wife ordered last Friday night, phone arrived yesterday morning.

Tracking number wasnt sent until they had attempted delivery which is a bit strange given the order was processed two days prior.

I wasnt happy with the packaging.... phone box simply jumbling around....only found one air cushion. I think two smaller cushions would be better than one the large one.

It's just easier these days to go on their open plans and pay the phone off over 24 months etc. I really don't know why people go on term plans now as they cost more for the same that you get in the open plans.

Like the red+ open is $99 but the same plan "with a phone / 24 month term" is $149 a month, 49 x 24 months = 1176 which cost more than the $800 you got off the phone.

I wanted to buy through VF (On a 24 month plan) so that I get the increased data allowance over an open plan, phone subsidy, can pay off over 24 months interest free (Not that I needed to, but it's easy) and the biggest attraction for me is the 12 month phone update for $20 per month.... All the rumours point to a major upgrade next year - and if I can get one for $240, then that sounds like a good deal to me!

Actually $99 plan is $79 without rebate so $20 per month over 24 months meaning $480 rebate $800.

I can claim $75 a month from work so the math works for me.

On the red+ you'd want a lot bigger rebate.

$240 + the change over fee which is around $2-300 and you neve get to own a phone.

My math says you are better to sell your phone each year on Trade Me.

Yeah, but it's the same reason I prefer to lease my cars.... The hassle factor.

I've always been on the $99 24 month term because previously, it was the only way to get enough data. Now the only thing keeping me on that is phoneinsure, which I've got really good use out of. It's $11 a month and $125 a claim, and lets be honest, these phones are so fragile chances are you will smash it up a few times a year. It's good peace of mind too, you wouldn't carry around $1500 of cash in your pocket.

Mine has moved out to ships from 1st October.

Seriously unhappy with this shambles. I would have ordered through Spark/Apple and had some certainty had I known how this would be.

Now that I'm off contract, I'm considering moving 2 x home broadband connections, my mobile and red share elsewhere.
I thought Voda was only bad on the cable network, but this set it into being across the board for me.
