iPhone sensational

[missing_something]

Still not sold on the exchange integration with these things - I'm sticking with my blackberry till they focus more on usability and less on gimmicky BS

The 3GS iPhone being released on 26 June looks to have some handy new features.  At the very least I might be able to pick up a cheap "old" model to get mine through its contract period!

A friend of mine is upgrading to the new one next month when his contract up and will have an unlocked one. I will ask what he is looking at selling it for

Dan, Apple has dropped the old model immediately to US$99 so it would need to be a good deal.

 

[Dan]

yeah exactly.

He is getting his replaced swapped for a brand new one about 1 week before since the battery is playing up. Basically it will be a brand new one though

Actually, I would probably recommend to anybody wanting to get an iPhone not to hold out for the newer version, or surely when the newer version comes out the price will drop.

I bought the 'current' model last month, and today got the new settings for the 'newer' version iPhone.

Actually I don't believe the iPhone is all it's hyped up to be!

Just did the 3.0 upgrade last night, it worked well.

Get a few more handy features like MMS, cut and paste, etc

 

[Dan]

Matas I will let you know this week,

The new upgrade is good but has made the wireless connection worse

 

[Matabele]

At the moment my wirless connection is as good as it was before the upgrade. 

 

[byso]

Dan, ask your neighbor to leave the window open

My wireless is also working well.

Its my wireless connection which is out in the office. My PC picks it up fine but its a pain in the ass and drops out a lot with the iPhone. May be time to trade in for a replacement

 

[CliffyIsGod]

The 3.0 update has internet tethering capability, so you can connect your iPhone to your computer and use it as a modem, but Optus want to charge $10 a month for that!

Rort!

 

[Dan]

there is apparently a way around that with Optus. That is  rort though if they want to charge for that. I mean what difference does it make to them if you use internet on your phone or through your phone

I'm glad I got the iPhone 3G when I did

OPTUS has become the first Australian carrier to reveal its pricing plans for the new Apple iPhone 3GS.

The telco's flagship deal will offer the 32GB iPhone 3GS for $0 upfront on a $99 "Timeless" plan for 24 months.

The plan includes unlimited calls and texts and 1.5GB of internet data, and will cost a minimum of $2376 over the period of the contract.

Other plans range from $19 to $79 per month, with additional handset repayments.

At this morning's launch, Optus did not confirm whether current customers would have to buy out their contracts in order to upgrade to the new handset.

The iPhone 3GS is set to launch in Australia on Friday. Telstra and Vodafone are expected to reveal their pricing plans this week.
