I Got An Iphone...i Got An Iphone Today Hooray!

[khunjeng]

its a phone. wow. If it changes your life that much then I feel sorry for you.

[adznight]

lol, same could be said about cars couldn't it khunjeng

[krzysiu]

haha but a car shouldn't change your life anyways, except of course emptying the good old wallet.

[GtstCoupe]

Cars=Empty Wallet

Im looking at getting one, but not sure who to go with Telstra, Optus, Vodaphone

So far optus seams to be the best deal, But i always have been with telstra.

Plus i wanna keep my number lol

I cant wait to get my iphone. I think the main reason people don't like the Iphone is because they just don't understand how good it is and how much potential it has. Im buying it because I enjoy coding and making my own programs so I wanna try out the SDK (Software Development Kit) that comes with the iphone. Don't forget all the other third party software companies that will be developing software for the iphone. In a years time you will be able to do everything on your iphone. 2mp camera doesnt bother me because i dont take a whole lot of photos with my camera on my current phone.

If you think its just hype you need to have a read of what this phone is capable of and you will understand n95 doesnt even come close...

[PSI Parts]

I believe the N96 will be better too, it uses the Symbian OS (already in use with the N95) which is open source that allows people to write Apps for as well. There are already a whole heap of add ons like viewing office/pdf documents, video viewers, email and IM clients, etc. You can buy an extra battery (iPhone has to be sent away) at most phone shops. The 16GB with an 8GB SD micro should also be enough for most people to replace their ipods and maybe even video iPods with an MP4 player.

I currently have an ZZZ custom phone (symbian OS) and hate the touch screen, so the N96 will definitely be the choice for me, just wish they would give a release date.

its funny how everyone complains about struggling to afford mortgage repayments, yet you see them lining up to buy an iPhone.

not having a go at you guys, but when i went to the shops today, many locals lined up, who had a cry that they couldnt keep up with payments, i wonder why...

Sorry, it p#sses me off, just letting off a bit of steam.

$200 on a 24 months contract.

So its not free, you still have to be on a contract of $50 a month or whatever.

Pretty sure out right it is , must be grand opening special.

I still remember the FIRST Iphone grand opening in Beverly Hill .The line was just shocking, the weather was hot that ...............the chicks dressed to kill , we got given Iphone Umbrella (crap).

Haha, I was saying something similar the other day. Not really specific to the iPhone, but about how most of the people that complain about that stuff have 2 newish cars, a decent house, and in most cases a decent income that gets pissed up the wall on luxuries, which are usually on finance too!

But, I should get back on topic lol.

Is there any rumours about when the 32gb version will be released? Hopefully it comes out around the time I have the money saved up lol.

[funkymonkey]

until australia's gaybo data rates drop, AND carriers other than telstra get real high speed data rates, owning the new iphone is kinda pointless... you might as well own the old iphone. unless you enjoy surfin the interwebs on your iphone while only in the vicinity of wifi hotspots which you can access.

[khunjeng]

lol, same could be said about cars couldn't it khunjeng

doesnt change the fact its all a bit sad.

[Z1LLA]

[SHANE666]

lol idiots.

any old phone makes calls and messages, as well as receiving them.

but if you're well off, congrats

[adznight]

khunjeng - Blah blah blah lol, each to their own. Some ppl just apprciate technology more than others

Shane666 - if you have to finance something, other than a house, then you can't affod it, full stop. It's common sense. Me, I have no credit cards

[GtstCoupe]

Im hoping to get mine this weeks:) Just waiting for telstra to have stock.

[_Ryan_]

on mine now. Optus is the best value. I stuck with vodafone tho. Longtime apple used here, most people don't understand them, but will in time. It does everything I would need from a laptop, so a saving there. The 199 was for existing us AT&T customers. Thhree will have em on mad plans in good time

Check out the mac rumors forum for unlocking hacks etc.

This is more than a phone, and more potential than a blackberry.

Give it 12m onthS for original plan customers to need new ones and there will be another revision. Gps needs turn by turn voice, and Bluetooth doesn't pair with phones due to apples stance on copyprotection.

Enjoy.

So much misinformation in here by people who don't know shit

iPhone is great. Don't think of it as a phone, think of it as an iPod which can sms and make phone calls.

Best thing about it is it's internet connectivity. Nothing else comes close. The web browser in it is the first time browsing the web while out and about is actually usable! I had windows mobile phones before this, and they were good, but the web browsing was usless.

The interface on the iPhone is second to none. Windows mobile is still based on using a stylus, tiny start menu buttons, and a laggy interface.

The iPhone DOES have bluetooth, but it's only able to be used with handsfree kits/earpeices. Limit put in place by apple for some reason.

MMS is shit, it's a way for carriers to charge stupid amounts of money to send a picture. Much better to use email, once all the other phones catch up and can use email as well as the iPhone.

Ohh and anyone who thinks the iPhone was/is $199USD outright, come here, i'm going to punch you in the head for being retarded.

[allblitz]

Ash, you mentioned the HTC being around $1,200. It's actually under 1k at organiser world in the city
