Gnobbie: I can still buy from Vodafone and use on Telecom plan right?

scottjpalmer: I've got 2 of the Spigen glass screen protectors spare. The box says both front and back protectors are included.

$45 to your door, first in first served.

sidders80: So pre orders now open however the accessories are only free for first 200 orders who sign up to a new contract on a Red plan.

Very typical of Vodafone, not to reward existing customers.

I expected this to be honest after the deal they did with the M8 being the same. Still disappointing as plans don't particularly benefit me so I stick to prepay and buy phones outright.

However I have pre-ordered elsewhere with a nice wee staff discount through my brother. Offsets the lack of free stuff very nicely. :)

I think what is disappointing is that these are accessories that Sony is giving free with the phone in other parts of the world when bought outright. And after such a delay I was expecting Sony would do the same here. Then again Vodafone have exclusive rights to this device so they will sell it the way they feel like. 

blakamin: When I got my Z1 there was 2 optus shops in the same plaza (mall), I went to the first, waited in line for 20 minutes for them to say I couldn't buy it outright... walked into the second,  3 minutes later and walked out with a new phone... Might do that again next week. Only bought at optus because it came with a free dock.

Given the price in Oz converted to NZD and 10% GST refund I might have to look at buying in Oz if I am there soon or ask someone to ship it or bring it over.
