Iphone advice, I live n Australia.

[anytif]

So I am really keen on getting an iphone and I was going my research, and came across the iphone 4G.
I'm not desperate for an iphone but the sooner the better would be great 🙂
Any rough idea as to when the phone is coming out in Aus, this year? Next year?
Should I gets get a 3G? Is it better to wait?

Thanks 🙂

Uh.. no one even knows when the release date is for the US.

Well, Australia wans't one of the first 8 to get the 3GS so my guess is up in the air.

Wait until tomorrow when we know a little more!!

 

[anytif]

yeah, i am aware of that. i wasn't asking for a date, i was asking for an approx. release time

The iPhone 3GS was released in Australia one week after the US release, on the 26th of June.

Awesome stuff. can't wait to pick up my iPone 4G in July when I move to Melbourne for studies.

which carrier gives the best deals for the iPhone (based on the 3GS?) Telstra is a tad expensive is it not? I'm thinking Optus or Vodafone... any suggestions for a foreigner like me? 😛

In comparison, Telstra is really over priced and has a record for bad customer service, however they have great coverage, easily the best.
In terms of service/reception: 3, Optus, Voadafone etc are all all pretty much on the same level,
I'd recommend 3. They are they the cheapest ( I'm with them) and unless you live in rural areas, coverage is great 🙂
