Makes an iPhone at $199 seem cheap LOL
(albeit on a 24 month contract, not sure how much that will cost)
The monthly contract for the $199 8GB iPhone is $250 with 1GB data.
Over the 24 month term, that's $6000 + $199 + voice calls off the
bundle.

Vodafone include 600 anytime minutes and 600 texts to any network in
the plan (http://www.vodafone.co.nz/iphone/8gb-black.jsp). Still
comes to $6199 for the 8GB iPhone. $6199 for a closed device(You
can't take the battery out) with plan.
$499 for a /completely// /open(With screw driver and guitar pick)
device.
Which one would /you/ get?
Let's compare apples with apples (sorry):
Vodafone YouChoose with 600+600 = $240/month, approx.
Vodafone Broadband Everyday 1Gb = $60
$300/month over 2 years is $7200.
They offer a $400 subsidy on a "New Vodafone mobile" - which
presumably wouldn't extend to the OpenMoko.
Oops: The OpenMoko is a WiFi phone. Add SIP calling, and never hand
Vodafone a cent for voice or data (unless you get caught away from an
802.11 base).
