Posted August 5, 200915 yr my brother (terrible - in game nickname; remember him?) wants to know about iphones. so whats your guys tips regarding them... i see there are 3G and 3Gs phones available... thats all good, but the internet plans are the things we dont know about. are there caps, do they shape you if you go over or do they mess you around with extra bills? who is the best to go with optus or telstra or...? where is the cheapest and best place to buy an Iphone cheers
August 5, 200915 yr I would suggest waiting a bit for an iPhone 3GI, they're the newest model and will be around for some time.
August 5, 200915 yr Telstra = Fastest interweb tubes but most $$ (x10 faster) Optus = slowwwwwwww but less $$ for interwebs
August 5, 200915 yr Good luck getting one at the moment, all 5 carriers are out of stock of the 3GS models. Though the old 3G model is still in stock (who would want the old one for basically the same price as the new). I'm waiting for 3 to get their next shipment. http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/645/rx2yg8.jpg http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/valorousunit.bmp http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/203.14.173.90:19577/b_350x20_C692108-381007-FFFFFF-000000.png
August 5, 200915 yr yer apparently its going to be 2 weeks before the new shipment, just order it over the intranet http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
August 5, 200915 yr Everyone I know is jumping on vodaphone, but going with blackberries instead of the iphone. internet and email are NOT counted each month, 100% free and unlimited. Then you just pick your cap, $69/79 a month and get some ridiculous $500-600 a month of credit. I also heard I phones are out of stock (new models) If you go with Iphone ( i dont really like em ) then id just go for one of the latest models you can get. Fear is another word for weakness.
August 5, 200915 yr Author internet and email are NOT counted each month, 100% free and unlimited. Then you just pick your cap, $69/79 a month and get some ridiculous $500-600 a month of credit. what do you mean? how much is free per month... i cant believe anything like downloads are free at all... so you pay for credit and get free internet?
August 6, 200915 yr i have a 3gs with vodafone its freaking awesome, best fone ive ever had. easy to use can d/l all these awesome apps eg lightsaber, zippo lighter, facebook, commbank. ive also got skype so when im in a wireless network i can phone 4 next 2 nothing. btw im on a 79mth plan with $400 calls and 1g data !GuN!
August 6, 200915 yr My iPhone 3G is great, though I can't really compare it to other alternatives since I haven't used them . I'd get a 3GS if your buying now though, may as well, though the features aren't really worth going from 3G -> 3GS. I'm with Optus, works fine for me, but again, can't really compare with other providers since I haven't used them . http://www.ancientdev.com/images/devsig.png
August 6, 200915 yr forget iPhone.. get a Nokia N97 imo http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
August 6, 200915 yr I am on the $49 cap with an Optus iPhone 3G. $300+ worth of calls text and all sort of other number. 250MB of data. I am absolutely thrilled with the iPhone, best phone I have ever used/had. You might look at 250MB of data as a very small amount but I can tell you that it is absolutely shoitloads. I do my internet banking lots during the months, surf the web almost every day when I am waiting for someone/something. I use facebook a little even with all the photos etc. I use ebay a little on it. I do less than 100MB a month. Oh did I mention I even use Google maps most days (Streams map data from net). I have had no issues with Optus, their Indians have even called a few times to make sure my service was going ok and all that. As with the speed well I have no issues and I find it plenty fast enough. Just ran speedtest over 3G with good signal = 2.17Mb/s | 94 Kbps. http://www.clan-tea.com/sigs/flames/Poncho-Temp.png Orders starting with SOMEBODY usually wind up being completed by NOBODY.
August 6, 200915 yr I was wondering, is there anyway to turn your Iphone into a modem thing for your computer? Because that speed is like way more than what I get at home. http://i.imgur.com/DtNdckc.png [WC]Xavo|xXx:
August 6, 200915 yr what do you mean? how much is free per month... i cant believe anything like downloads are free at all... so you pay for credit and get free internet? Free as in unlimited free free 100% free. 2 mates on it and both surf all the time + msn messanger etc and neither have ever been billed for any internet / data usage because it is 1000000000% free, same for emails. Premium data like using there service to download ringtones etc are charged at normal.. but surfing is all good, google, facebook, myspace etc. Pay your monthly cap which gets you heaps of credit and included is free internet and email data. This is exclusive to blackberry as its using the blackberry server and they don't charge you a cent to use it on this specific plan. You should go and ask at your local out let about it.
