Was in my local Vodafone store doing an upgrade and found out about this bargain.
So Vodafone which had the X Style as an exclusive have dropped the RRP on the device to $299
From what I have been told not every store has stock and they are no longer able to order them in however Online has 100's of units remaining.
There are 2 ways to get the device (other than getting on a plan of course, which is $0 on every plan at Vodafone)
1) Added to a Vodafone Plan as an installment (cheaper this way) $12.45 per month for 24m or $24.90 per month for 12 months You can also get Vodafone to add to your plan in 1 installment of $299
2) REMOVED: Lots of feedback indicating that Stores are unable to sell outright, phone must be added to new or existing plan, have removed this info to prevent disappointment, you can try and find Outright.. but expect resistance.
I was happy to add the phone to my existing plan for the 12m
in store you can ONLY get the black model (one i got)
if you are a Vodafone customer and are going option 1 above, you can call them or go online and get the White Model if your prefer.
Stock is showing as 2-3 days from order approval at moment so still plenty in stock
Not a bad phone for the price.. battery is not awful but not awesome. (one day max apparently)

EDITED: thanks to KaptnKaos its showing as $299 total online (installments of $12.45 per month for 24m) Edited post to reflect this info.
EDITED: As mentioned on Whirlpool, those wanting to get a new sim only and add phone.. GO TO A STORE they will credit check you for both together and get phone sent to you if they don't have stock.. same deal for people wanting to keep old plans with Vodafone.
EDITED: Updated to reflect that phone can ONLY be obtained by adding to an existing or new plan.
@ww: cool! so the phone is totally unlocked out of the box (with just vodafone branding/apps)? tried another network sim?
