Mobile Phone questions thread

I would strongly recommend the new iPhone if possible, as the latest software on my 3G model took a speed hit.

As far as data allowance, trust me, you'll have a hard time using 500MB.

Optus is matching Vodafone's price which means I can stick with Optus and still get the iPhone for $70 a month with generous call and data credit and unlimited standard text...

If I go with this no need to change operators which is nice. Hmm, might have a Non-toy acquistion to post by the end of the weekend!!

Oooh. That offers a bit tempting to me even. Because the iPhone Messages app looks and feels like a chat app, it's easy to barrel through SMSs.

I ended up going with Optus and the iPhone 3GS 16 GB. It's not where I thought I was going when I started this thread at all, but it's a good deal that I'm happy with. Now I wait for the battery to charge up so I can play with it.

funny thing is my dad was exactly the same. i took him out to find a new phone, he went round, found all the ones he liked, and couldnt believe in the end that he bought an iphone. enjoy it
