    Hmm. The Vodafone pricing matches their offer for the Nokia E71 (and a bunch of other phones) so it would come down to which phone I like best.

    I don't think I will go over the call cap, but the Internet one is the one I wonder about. Browsing on the train, apps like the maps that use downloaded data, it could all add up.

    Saintly your link doesn't work for me. Is it the $62 (49 + 13 repayments) one? That's 250 MB downloads though?

    Okay... looks like they have the new deal on with the new iPhone 3Gs and they have removed the old 16Gb iPhone... head over to http://www.optus.com.au/iphone

    It's a case of selecting the cap plan level and see the benefits (or not), not to mentioned cost as well.

    The new 16G is available on the $79 for $0 upfront, while the old 8G is available on $59 for $0 upfront.

    Telstra's pricing is bad, I'm steering away from them.

    If I go iPhone I will get the 16G new model as it does seem a better phone.

    or you can go the new 32G on $99 timeless (better value than $119 timeless!)

    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.
