I think the design change is for the worst. The back plastic black cover is completely yuck and I've seen people use the new iPhone. It seriously is a finger print magnet and looks like an annoyance to clean constantly. They were better off trying to add aluminium to the back, or some kind of material that didn't attract so much muck. The touch screen itself attracts muck as well so basically its now a complete muck attractor. Especially if you got greasy hands.
I've had a play around with my workmates one, and its pretty slick. I just can't stand the constant oily feel to it!!!
Comment made about the PC Authority article:
First Look: Apple iPhone 3G tested on Optus, no visual voicemail but still glorious?
Surprisingly there's no visual voicemail on our Optus iPhone, but otherwise the phone performs brilliantly with a massive speed boost over the 1st gen model.
What do you think? Join the discussion. |

I have always been on Telstra network - just prefer their mobile net coverage especially in country area. The iPhone did not disappoint me even though I only bought it 3 hours ago.
With iPhone Telstra is offering free Wi-Fi access at all their hot spots if you sign up with their network. Accessing Google mail is a breeze if you already you an e-mail account with them. All e-mails from Gmail come through my home wi-fi network and I can manage Gmail without even turning on my computer! Accessing Yahoo Mail is a different story - I keep getting messages telling me I put in wrong user name or password!
With Safari browser Google home page loads in 5 seconds and Yahoo loads in about 20 seconds.
My conclusion - this is more than just a phone, its a mini computer of some sort and I love it!! |

typical apple overhype, typical shortage to encourage supply.
cant fault apples marketing crew for making millions of sales of a slow, otherwise overpriced accessory |

I guess that's the way they make money. Because it's a niche market, they can get away with it. |

I used the O2 XDA Atom for over 2yrs with touchscreen, prior to their release of the qwerty keyboard in ver2.
Upgraded to the Iphone in last 2days and the call
For a phone that does just bout everything except make you a coffee. Outright it will set you back $849 for the 16gb and $649 for the 8gb. 32gb is on the way, so the iphone is just getting started
clarity, visual look, shape can be off putting being a little larger for fu-tech in your hand, but the features are truely mind blowing, this phone caters for all walks of life, from teen to worker to older-gen. Music, video, media, net, email you name it you have access to it.
Optus have only just upgraded for contracts for Apple Plans, new department has been formed to handle the iphone upgrades so please check with Optus on their exclusive plans for more details. |

Hi Linda 1963, dazzlive has listed some prices above. You can also find more prices in our iPhone Plan Picker. |

It's not just plan costs to consider, look at the handsets themselves. The iPhone 8GB is basically an iPod Touch plus phone and the phone cost (based on dazzlive's numbers) is $250 extra, for the 16GB iPhone you pay $350 extra over the equivalent iPod. Granted you get the Apple cachet, and the 16GB memory is double the best I know of in a currently available mobile phone, but I'm not sure I'd pay that much extra for the phone features. |
