MTN has finally got a contract for the N8. The buyer only pays for the subscription and not the phone value.

You pay R269 per month for 24months with a bonus of 75MB Internet bundle per month. You have R209 SIM & Connection(Once-off)

Not a bad contract but Vodacom has  a contract for the N8 but a bit more expensive and worth it. You pay R315 per month for 2 years. Its a Vodacom talk 130.

You receive 130 anytime minutes p/m, 30 Weekend or 30 WeekDay night more minutes. You also receive MYMEG 30MB *24month. You have R196 Once-off SIM & connection fee.

I also found a prepaid deal where you pay R4800 for the N8. In conclusion, prepaid is much better than contract, but yet again, it depends on the person.
