LOL. Telstra and Optus both have terrible customer service, Telstra being the worst. In my experiences atleast. Vodafone is the only company to never let me down in that regard, and I'm pretty sure I'll stay on Vodafone pre-paid as long as I possibly can. I just hope we get some decent data rates soon, preferably before I buy an iPhone (i.e. when the 32gb version comes out) lol. “I’m banking on Telstra, best coverage and better customer service then Optus”

Hopefully an alternative will be more receptive to new technology and won’t charge as much as it does for the iPhone’s basic functions. At the very least, it’ll send pressure to Telstra, Vodafone, etc. to lower their prices.

In contrast, it was so quiet there and they had only 2 16GB white left we were after. But they couldn't serve NON PRE-ORDER customers before 9:00AM. Having spent half an hour watching other people (there were only 3 pre-order customers during that time) to see if any of them is after 16GB white. NO ONE picked the white one then they served us !!! So that's the story... In addition, after 10:00AM they still had quite a lot of 8GB iPhones but still not many people around the store while Apple store had quite a lot of people in the queue For those of you already got the iPhone, have fun. and for the rest, good luck with your next chance. By the way, the Strathfield guy told me next shipment is landing on Monday. I just got a quick grab of 16GB white in half an hour… without PRE-ORDER LOL

(around Sydney) Not a big deal ... but just want to find out. Only one spot I saw was at Kingsford airport. still better than nothing, so you can compare price at Duty free shop :D BTW, in America, google provide SMS service that send you sms with price of particular product (at amazon maybe?) when you send ISBN number or product code ? Do we have that service in Australia ? Can anybody give some idea on where we can use Optus wifi network ? (around Sydney)

In the USA 16Gb iPhone no-contract is US$699 + tax (which varies by state) so about AU$730+gst or AU$800.. assume some cost of shipping and whatever import duties our Govt has slapped on and we're not that far off with Optus' outright price of $849 As for those people complaining about data caps, even in the states with "unlimited" data most people seem to be using around 100-400Mb - the only users I've heard report anything higher don't ever use WiFi (I know I will be) so the Optus $59 cap is looking like the sweet spot for heavy internet users.

However its only with a vodafone contract...
