vodafone here in NZ had Massive interest but take the fact that Auckland Launch had only 150 people queueing at launch and the first guy in was only queuing for 45 hours and was not the original first and there was over 300 to start with (they all walked away) when they announced the price plan which was MASSIVELY expensive and the phones well over priced and data plans very poor they have been slated by virtually everyone here. Most expensive in the world.
In the week we had a great show Campbell Live where the guy full on laid into the guy from vodafone that could only fall back on the same crap despite the fact he was being owned.
