David hates it, 06 Jul 2009its about free choice and flexibiltity of what you want to ... moreHi David,
I do agree with you with telcos needing to have more flexibility with cheaper upgrade options, specially for their existing loyal customers,it's fair in saying that, and sometimes telcos will go out of their way and discount or waive fees completely on a case by case scenario.
I just think we shoudn't waste our timer and energy being fustrated with these things. We just have to take the good with the bad really, ite our lip an move on.
If you didn't wa tokeep your current iPhone, you could always have it legally unlocked by Optus and sell it on ebay, I am sure your wil get enouh money to payout te curent contact so you can ugrade to the new iPhone 3G S and still have money in your pocket.
I just sold my iPhone 3G 16GB on ebay and got just over $600, which I am happy with. People still want them, regardless of them being brand new or off ebay. You can pick up some well looked after ones off ebay.
You will probably find in a few months that new uprading prices will come out. Telcos are being stubben right now as the iPhone 3G S has only just been released. Let the hype play down and in time you'll get a bettr deal.
I mustsay though, Optus ar much cheaper bying th Iphone 3G S on pre-paid then Vodafone and Optus offer better contract plans then Vodafone, even better then Virgin.
Three are releasing the iPhone 3G this Friday, I'd be interested to see their plans wth it, however Three is now own by Vodafone, so willl just have to wait and see ;-)
God luck with it all, I'm sure in the long run, you will be better off ;-)
Cheers
Craig

I think Apple Iphone has a great OS, but I am a little bit angry, why the hech they add only 3.2MP camera, and is even don't has a flash... Oh my God... What Apple is thinking?
Guys, if you are interested on a mobile phone that can make good pictures, choose the Sony Ericsson Satio, the only one 12MP smartphone!!!

Telcos don't need to put a clause ... moreits about free choice and flexibiltity of what you want to do, your paying that company money to let you do othewrwise if its so dellusinal then why do we bother paying.
if was to have a telco company, allowing flexible options would be much better because i know i want my cutomers to be happy and satisfied an i will get more consumers joining my company. and whats the use of discount its still quite expensive, where can i fork out 200 bucks? if the fee was $50 or 100 bucks then yeah sure no problems i would pay it, no hassles. but $240 is a bit too much, and plus i dont want to cancel my contract i need another phone for buisness as this useless phone doesnt support dual sim and optus wont let i told them that and there not letting i still have to pay, they told me to cancel my contract and make a new one, i told them no i dont want to. see there being stubborn im being fair i dont want to return my old iphone i still want it.
The main thing is why arent the options flexible so we can choose what best suits us?

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Try Sim Lim Square. But u are likely to pay much extra for it. Else, go to SIngtel & pay additional $150 on top of their RRP.
Singtel is launching it this Friday.

of course it ain... more@ PRIMUS
Exactly, Apple are very smart in what they are doing, they have a very good marketing strategie, thats exactly what they are doing. They know how to keep people hanging on.
Any mobile can come with a lot of hype, you just have to build it up ;-)

Symbian is perfect for normal phones, but I would prefer a different OS for Nokia's next smartphones.
I don't like iPhone : too expensive, to limited...
Android is definitly the best choice for real Geeks ^^

symbian still does the job fer me as i do a lotta haxes on my mobile which might be impossible with other OS (like having FREE access to 3G and internet connection). until such magic be available fer android and the others then i'll stick with the old ways ^_^
anyways, if id like more media and portable entertainment then i'll go to my psp ^_^

of course it ain... moreSo, Nokia don't advance their phone's much, I guess that's why the N95 8GB is still fairly popular and people don't want the N96 or N97 as there is no reason to upgrade.
That's called stagnation, Symbian is at the end of it's life, no wonder Nokia's profits fell so much, there's no innovation.

"it's apples fault that peeps are in a dilemna.. they dont squeeze up all the good features in one model and they release an upgrade a year or so and seduce the fanboys to upgrade (i want milk). dont blame it on the telcos, it's apples fault and they want yer money @_@"

about the upgrade thingy about telcos..
of course it aint their fault if you wanna upgrade or not, i mean if you are not paying the handset one-off and dividing it into say a 24month contact then that means you havent paid the handset in full yet before you upgrade. telcos cant just take back yer old iphione and replace with with a new one without a penalty fee (which is the remaining handset price). if telcos provide free upgrades then tehy'll all go apeshiat and get bankrupt. talk about economics brothas @_@

fer me.. i believe that apple still has a few tricks up its sleeves, so i guess ill just wait a coupla more years till they release an uber-iphone @_@
i'll stick with symbians fer now and all those cool cheap, and better apps they have @_@
