If you are a real geek like me, you are always on the lookout for the next best smartphone deal. Gerhardt Fourie was kind enough to send through this list of specials currently available at MTN while he was busy shopping for his next smarthone.
Here is the specials currently going on at MTN for the month of August 2010:
| Model | Manufacturer | Package | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legend | HTC | MTN 200 | R329 |
| Desire | HTC | MTN 200 | R339 |
| X10 | Sony Ericson | MTN 200 | R329 |
| Wave | Samsung | MTN 200 | R239 |
| Galaxy S | Samsung | MTN 200 | R319 |
| C6 | Nokia | MTN 200 | R208 |
| N8 | Nokia | MTN 200 | R279 |
As far as I know there is no pay-in fee for any of the above phones and the price is the monthly over a period of 24 months. The MTN 200 package includes R200 worth of airtime.
I am glad to see that Samsung is coming to the party with their new Galaxy S and Wave phones and at such a cheap prices. Please note that the N8 is only on pre-order atm and will only be available in September.
[Thanks Gerhardt Fourie]




Hi!
Ek is baie opgewonde om te sien dat MTN kompeterende tariewe vir die SAMSUNG Galaxy S bekendgestel het!
Kan ek by enige MTN-winkel op die spesiale tarief aandring en is die foon dan reeds beskikbaar?
Dankie
Hi Lubbe, ja die tarief is beskikbaar by enige MTN winkel, die foon sal jy dalk voor moet wag as daar nie vooraad is nie.
Gerhard, dankie vir die vinnige terugvoer! Ek was intussen by MTN (Brooklyn, Pretoria) en hulle het die tariewe bevestig!
AnyTime 200 @ R319
of
AnyTime 350 @ R409 (as ek reg onthou..).
Die foon was egter (soos vermoed) nie in voorraad nie, maar hulle het een bestel! Kom ons hoop maar net die wag is nie te lank nie…
Vodacom has Samsung Galaxy S on TopUp 315 @ R384 pm on financed option or once-off pay-in of R1379. The HTC Desire on same package is R419 pm or once-off pay-in of R1959.
Gerhard which would you recommend…. Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire??? i’m struggling to decide which phone to take on upgrade. The Desire is only available from next month and that should be with the S-LCD screens, while the Galaxy S is in stock at moment. Which phone is better?
Hi Drew, I haven’t had any hands-on time with the Galaxy S so I don’t know how it operates, but if I had to choose I would go for the Desire because I am familiar with it. However on paper the Galaxy S does not look bad either, it even looks like an iPhone

Comparison of the iphone4, desire and galaxy s
Is the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) out on mtn already?? coz im in e.l and the guys at mtn keep telling me they not expecting the phone in anytime soon
dunno how true that is tho…..and personally i would def go with the galaxy simple coz of the screen…
I think the one that mtn is promoting is the Samsung Galaxy Spica and not the Galaxy S. I went to the mtn store yesterday and got the pricelist but it was not on there. And the pricelist doesn’t have the prices on the anytime 750 packages. Does someone know how much the wave and the Galaxy are on these packages.
how does it take once you have ordered the galaxy before you get it?
GP you will need to contact MTN with regards to that.
hi
im looking for a nokia n8 phone
