Finally. My 3GS arrives.
Oct 13th
I thought I post a follow up on my article about the delay in getting my hands on the new iPhone 3GS.
After the most bizarre chain of events yesterday morning, the phone suddenly arrived on my desk.
After yet another call to my service provider to get an update on when the handset might become available I was again informed that there was still no stock and that Vodacom and The Core Group would not commit to any dates as to when they may become available. Luckily though, I was on the list of 78 people waiting for stock. Lucky lucky me.
About an hour later I was confronted by a delivery guy with a parcel addressed to me. A few squiggles on the delivery form, a few tears here and there and I found myself staring at white iPhone 3GS box.
The phone that isn't in stock. Apparently.
I thought maybe it was a joke. I bet the box is empty.
Well blow me down. I opened the box to find a shiny new iPhone 3GS. Joy.
I haven’t let my service provider know that it has arrived yet. Let’s see how long it takes them to get back to me about it. Who knows, maybe a second one will arrive when they finally get stock…
Eish.
Vodacom will screw you.

I just don’t understand it. The iPhone 3GS has been available for weeks from Vodacom, but it seems that other operators still “have no stock”. My contract is with Nashua Mobile and they are telling me that Vodacom are wanting to keep the phone exclusively for their customers at first before they release them to the other service providers.

Can they be any more obtuse ?!? Vodacom will still get the business at the end of the day, so why are they withholding stock ?
Come on Vodacom pull up your socks ! Are you getting nervous about interconnection rates being slashed and your years of taking us for a ride coming to and end ?
