I went to Telstra shop today and they told me that if I have Telstra NextG simm, that I can get iPhone 8GB outright, for $729
I have a work mobile, with NextG simm, and it was enough for them to sell iPhone to me
Unlocking cost another $150, but no plans

When I can get a similar deal with Three, I'll have to give it serious consideration, especially since my old faithful has just about given up the ghost - just in time

You can register your iPhone interest here with 3.
I've heard they're coming to prepaid with other carriers, so maybe you an get it outright at a cheaper price. It would be worth seeing if you get an iphone if you can get a deal if you port to 3.
Also FYI, I've read a few things on the iphone... here's some of the limitations I've heard about:
- No MMS
- GPS only birds eye, not turn-by-turn
- no cut+paste
- no videocall
You might also want to look into the media support (ie. music and video file formats).
Mind you, even with the above I'm still kinda keen on it.
Guys you can get thhe Iphone through Optus. The 16Gb is $849 with $400 worth of calls on prepaid, then after the calls run out pay $50 for unlock. I plan on doing this as soon as i get back from Hawaii with work, unfortunaetly in the US they will not sell the phone to anybody who dosnt have a US social security number so not able to buy it cheaper here.
Like all the iProducts - iPhone's over-priced and over-hyped. $750+ for a mobile phone?
Old man
Any smartphone is about the same price or more expensive. Take Windows Mobile, or Nokia, or Motorola, or Blackberry. They are not over-hyped, but same or more price.
Reasonable person will not buy one, but reasonable is not my middle name.
