Vodafone here, I smash the data every month and use about a quarter of the calls.

The network is good with very few drop-outs or issues that Americans seem to complain about.

    I work for Telstra as well.. haha... I reckon Optus's management is better than Telstra... so the price $729 + $80 (unlocking fee) = $809 for iphone 8gb, right? I did ask Optus store few weeks ago, they quoted me $1029... -_-"""

      For an 8GB on prepaid its $729, and for a 16GB $849. It's the only way to get one without going on a plan. But that's only on Optus.

                      You can see them on a 3.5" screen and zoom them using two fingers.

                      I can watch Live TV streamed from my PC on it.

                      I don't have to play ghey Java games on it, it has real 3D games, which because they are so big would bring your puny N-series crashing to it's knees.

                          Allow you to record videos of any length
                          Allow you to bluetooth media to or from it
                          No MMS
                          Without "jailbreaking" it wont support most apps.
                          Whats the point of the camera in the iphone if the photos are stuck on there?

                                        The only way to get an outright iPhone in Australia is to get one on a plan or get a jailbroken one from overseas. Honestly, it's not worth getting one from overseas though, way too expensive. I'd reccomend either Telstra or Optus. Optus have better deals, but Telstra have better coverage and speeds with Next G.

                                        Have fun dude.
