Its not like its an exclusive, and although its early days for 2 degrees yet, Telecom have never shown a propensity to compete in the handset space with Vodafone.

Got a letter today saying that I need to pay $130 GST etc. This is done by calling before 4:30 (I tried at about 4:36 - as soon as I got the letter - and got a recorded "our hours are..." message) so I'll need to do that tomorrow while at work. There's no option for online payment and no information about what happens after I pay; can I go to the post office and pick up the phone, or is it still sitting in Auckland? Will I have to wait until Monday for it? They don't make it easy!
