yeah, they're finally ditching cdma in a few months, for gsm.
technically we could switch sims to go from one network to the other,
but i think we'd need the original proposed quad-band neo to do that.
need some reliable evidence on which freqs the two companies use
The exact figure for "a few months", according to Telecom, is "Four years"
In the meantime they're setting up a "hybrid system" which is not GSM
but broadband CDMA using the GSM audio codec for voice calls. I'm not
sure if any phones actually exist that support this standard.
ugh, that's not so good. sounds pretty kludgy too
Orcon will shortly be opening their GSM network in New Zealand. If
Vodafone isn't your cup of tea don't worry: they won't have gsm-monopoly
here for very long.
would this be northelia holdings under another guise?

looks like they're good to go already, and in the 900/1800 spectrum, so
compatible with a neo that supports vodafone...i never wanted a telecom
phone anyway, i'm not giving them my money
