The Android Galaxy series are looking more and more attractive now, as they're so much easier to get, and they're selling for a lot more reasonable prices in New Zealand. I would like to get an iPhone, but its not looking feasible without blowing an extra $200-$400 to get one with a decent storage capacity
Go ahead if you want, I did. Then after 2 weeks it went on TradeMe...
What model did you buy?
Galaxy S2. the top of the top... Apparently
What was wrong with it?
i don't want to impress my friends at school its just that i have 3gs wouldn't you agree its time to upgrade also getting an unlocked iPhone 4s from australia would cost us get plus customs(correct me if i am wrong).I am not as immature as you would like to think either I am a iOS dev in training learn the basics of c then moving to objective cFirstly, grow up.
Secondly, no-one is going to be able to tell you anything other than what Apple has announced. If you want to impress your buddies at school, the only way to get it before anyone else is to fly to Australia and get one there. Who is to blame? Probably Vodafone. Will they loose my business? Probably - their contract subsidies are hardly compelling anymore (in fact they are basically non existent on the cheaper plans), so if we don't get a launch date soon, I may just follow my own advice (hey, the office is kind of like school - got to be the first one with the new gadget.
haha I remember the days of having no responsibilities. Enjoy them while they last.
nah il pass on android I've had bad experiences with my dads samsung tab we eventually won an ipad2 and it was tons faster while i see the potential in android the speed and stability sort of puts me ofI just looked on the magnum mac website, and if you want an iPhone 4 in NZ that has more capacity than 8GB you gotta pay ridiculous prices. Basically you need to pay $25 per extra GB, which is insane! Flash memory doesn't cost anywhere near that! I can go out and get a 4GB memory stick for $15-$20, which is less than a quater of the price you pay per GB for iPhone memory. And in theory memory in the iPhone should be cheaper, since its done in bulk and doesn't require extra packaging & shipping like a mem stick would.
So you end up paying $200 extra for a 16GB iPhone (pretty much $200 for 8GB memory) with comes up to $1100 total. Then if you want a 32GB iPhone 4 you have to pay another $180, which is a bit better, at $11 per GB, but its still overpriced, and it pushed the price of a 32GB iPhone 4 to a total of almost $1300

Aw ****. Thats the one I was going to buy...
Browser crashes when switching from landscape to portrait, battery life, build quality, lag... Spec sheet says its a beast but in real world it doesn't lol.
i have heard from my friend that apple is opening a apple store in silvia parkToo many little things that pissed me off to the point where I wanted to chuck it at the wall, no joke.

Agreed. Even if it's just Auckland that gets an Apple store first that would be a huge step.
that could be why it is delayed?i have heard from my friend that apple is opening a apple store in silvia park
i have also seen a sign saying new store coming soon at west field in silvia park and i think apple is working on a siri version of nz because they created one for the pavalova stealers
. I wouldn't really mind if Apple didn't have Siri for nz on launch, I just want the actual phone lol.

Yeh, I mean, we are a small country, but its not like there is no market here. All the teachers at school use MacBooks, there are iMacs in the computer lab, at my old school they used the iMac G3s, they had an effin MacBook for every senior student and my mates primary school has iPads for the students. There are also a fair amount of people at school that have Macs at home, tons of people I see have iPod Touches or nanos... There's a huge market!
What I wrote wasn't polite. My Aussie friends have taught me bad things.
It involved sheep and shagging
it is strange since we were the first to get the iPhone 3g vodafail failed with the iPhone 4 launch so apple probably has a very unstable relationship vodafail perhaps telecom or 2 degrees could take the 4s after seeing siri used in its full potential i would do almost any thing to get one
.
then why did apple not chose any other carriers like telecom or 2 degreesAs I have seen someone else written, if Apple wanted to stick it to Vodafone, Apple would be offering the iPhone 4S on their nz website
I DEMAND ANSWERSthen why did apple not chose any other carriers like telecom or 2 degrees
