Sue: I can understand your frustration, especially with Google Maps that do not know South African roads. I suspect that that’s not going to change in a hurry, either. I use my iPhone 3G (from Vodacom, unlocked) in London and the directions are amazing – but I still believe in using a proper Garmin or Tom Tom GPS for driving.

The ringtones are a different sotry: there are ways of creating your own ringtones from songs in iTunes and then getting them back onto the iPhone with a little trickery – it’s not complicated and you don’t need to download anything. I’m not going to go into detail here. Googling iPhone and Ringtones should point you in the right direction.

At the end of the day, the iPhone is an awesome phone if you have a little patience and a desire to tinker a little – you can achieve some amazing things. Stock standard, though, the iPhone is still a pretty cool way of keeping a phone, MP3 player and email all in one device. The camera is a little crappy, though.

Interesting, I’m also an N97 user.. The N97 is pretty cool, still exploring all the features and coming to terms with everything. Not too sure about the features you’ve asked about though..

I have the apple iPhone 3Gs 32G and must say, not impressed at ALL, it has no GPS driving direction maps for SA, sure, it points out where you are, but that’s it, it doesn’t compare to the Nokia N97 I have, which is exactly similar to a proper garmin gps with voice commands etc. Also, the camera doesn’t have a flash, that sucks and you can’t change your ringtones, due to iTunes not being supported in South Africa! If I’m wrong, please anyone help, as I’m annoyed with this iPhone.

how would i go about getting the phones unlocked? I have a friend that will be sending me quite a few iphones from usa all brand new. I’m also thinking of selling them. At a cheaper price than what its being sold at in our stores obviously. But having it imported would mean that I’ll have to have them all unlocked?
Some help would be great. :)
thanks

@samantha – The iPhone 3GS is available in South Africa and we did experience the launch of the 3G late last year…

hi, i wanted to suggest to people in south africa to get their iphones rather from amarica or europe.the latest one out now in the uk is the apple iphone 3g s.it is voice controlled.the iphones sold in the uk work fine.once you have gotten them unlocked or jailbrocken you can use it anywhere in the world.
so south africans if you have family in america or england ask them to buy you one and then have it unlocked so that you can use it in south africa.i am getting one for my brother…. :}
