So who else lined up this morning?

I went to northland and the optus store there had sold out at 8am, and telechoice said they were ony giving them to people who had pre-paid....(fags!)

So went to Greensborough and lined up for an hour to get one from optus. Got the second last one and the NAC went down so they couldn't sign me up, need to wait for it now :) hopefully this afternoon.

One of my mates was in the city and he said the line there was 80-100 people long!

Dunno bout the speaker haven't got it yet, it's sitting at the store waiting till they can do a credit check.

The american 2G ones will work here as long as they have been hacked, a friend of mine has had one for ages, dunno what the go with the 3G ones is

I have been looking at the first gen ones over here at San Francisco, New York and now Vegas. They are fun and due to the time difference, they come out here in a few hours. From the research I have done, the ones in the US (3G ones not the 1st Gen), won't currently work back in Oz. There is also no prepaid one available here at launch unlike Oz. I am sure someone will get around it like the first one but it seems you have to provide a social security number and sign up to an AT&T (the provider here) plan when you buy it.

Price wise, it isnt much different to Oz so little to gain.

For those interested, this is on the Heraldsun site with regards to plans as an insight.

They have heaps of cases and accessories for them here so have bought a funky case that has a sucker to stick on the window for the GPS. G/f has bought a Paul Frank case that looks like a wallet.

iphone are shit, my n95 shits all over an iphone

Explain to me why...remember my requirements for a phone might be different from yours so saying it has this and that which the iphone doesn't is pointless....

Not sure about the bluetooth....I don't think so though.....

Hype yes, but hype or no hype people want it. It depends on what you want from a phone doesn't it.

The fact is the iPhone is huge, it's changed the way phones are designed now, you only need to look at the other teco's playing catch up. The HTC is a perfect example as nice as it is. Functioanlity is where it's at though and I'm sure there are better phone that the iPhone.

i had the iphone for about a month before i sold it

you cant send MMS like normal you have to send it via email so you get charged big bucks for it yes you can get 3rd party software to do so but then you can not view the items sent to you it only has a 2mp cam shit my old n73 has 3mp

having owned the n95 i would say it a better phone for features but the iphone has a better design now if only they could join them both up

it will be good to see how many iphones go up for sale now on ebay and 2nd hand after people get sick of the hype

Well not going into what it does and doesnt have, personally I own an ipod why would I want another hybrid with a phone, it's stupid and hardly practical

The new N96 got voted the best up-coming phone that'll be released this year

It's blown the whole ipod craze thing out of proportion, and as its losing interest they have to market it a different way to keep people interested...

I stand by the fact that no matter how much functionality you build into a phone, without a decent size display and a GOOD way to manipulate the data and input info they are fckn useless. These pissy little keyboards just suck.

Don't know much about the N96, will sus it out. I've always had Nokia's, the only thing that shits me about then is the fact that EVERY one I've had crashes, the firmware is so buggy!

Edit - Just checked it out - http://www.cnet.com.au/mobilephones/phones...earch?source=ig

Nice features and a big screen but no way to input data apart from the Numeric pad, just SO sucky :)
