Telstra has the moto hiptop that has unlimited data for $30 a month, which is a tempting offer if the moto hiptop wasn't a hunk of shit (I don't know if you can get that plan on anything else)
So, hang on, what was this about US$199 for the 8GB?? Was that outright or extra when you get it at AT&T??
That $770 for Italy just laughs in Steve Job's face and his affordability comments.
Proving once again why telcos lead the universe in lack of customer satisfaction, within the span of a single day the UK?s exclusive iPhone 3G carrier, O2, announced and then un-announced Pay-As-You-Go plans!
The original info revealed that you could get an iPhone 3G 8GB for ?300 and 16GB for ?360 on the PayG plans, with browsing (data?) and WiFi tossed in free for the first 6 months, and ?10 a month thereafter. Offer valid to new and upgrade-worthy customers until the end of the year.
Now, however, the page is gone, the server is bereft, and only a very Apple-esque talk-to-you-later notice remains.
The carrier revealed the first official Australian prices for the iPhone, with total minimum prices for the phone and contract ranging from $999 to $2400.
The new 8GB iPhone will be available with Telstra for $279 upfront on a two-year contract at $30 per month, or for free on the carrier's $80 per month plan.
The 16GB model will be available for $399 on a $30 per month contract or included for free with a $100 per month contract.
I don't know, I reckon telstra is going to better *shudder* plus optus's 3g coverage is fairly crap if you venture a bit out of the cities and i'm not sure that the new coverage they're rolling out is a frequency the iPhone supports 3g on.
Correct! Optus is rolling out a bigger/better(?) 3G network but the frequency their doing it on isn't actually supported by the iPhone.
If you want an iPhone that works Australia wide, you're going to have to go with Telstra's NextG*cringe*
Telstra actually appears cheaper on the face of things though watto :O
