thanks nokia2003 for the head up for Optus plan for iphone 3gs

the price seems ok..i just wonder how the upgrade system will b look like

i think u can still sign up for 1 year contract even ur visa is below 1 year..thts wat i heard when im 1st signing up for iphone 3g..
at 1st i plan to sign up for 24 months n my visa only for 1.6 years..they said i stil lcan sign up for 24months but i need pay remaining months b4 my visa expired..so is like if u have 6 months left after ur visa expired,then u need pay the 6months fees in 1 time...

about the 3 i think they will possible bring in iphone 3gs too..

i rmb got ppl talk about it at whirlpool n even provide a link to iphone page from 3 website..

but when i clicked on it is no more available for tht page..

i hope is true tht chances to upgrade from 3g to 3gs is higher for 12months contract user

ya..but for me, 3 don have a good coverage in my apartment

their plans look good but i got fren encounter many prob with them..1 of it is overcharge.
like he using $29cap but when bill comes,it show more than $29 coz of over usage.but he nvr make many calls.2 hands also can count how many calls he have made in 1 month
n same goes to broadband..sign up for 3gb n nvr download any things.just normal use.n got keep track the usage but when bill comes,need to pay around $200 coz exceed usage.call them to clarify but they keep direct the call to other departments but end up nth can do about it..occur 2 times de

in the end they said upgrade to 6gb plan to avoid n don have better explanation from them...

i guess if u wan international call then i believe 3 is the only choice for u since they included international call in their cap..
if optus then u need sign up for another extra international pack which is $5,$10 n $15..b4 tht i sign up for $5 but then i cancel de coz i got skype..
n i can use my gf's 3 to make international call if i wan since she not rly use much

i got heard about it but nvr rly bother..
3 provide them free credits from skype to call anywhr or just skype to skype call?

bah...tht is not 1st bill anyway...

n broadband i know is inclusive of dl n ul...but both add together also not above 2gb...

but he not a 1st case though..i heard many prob from other ppl about tht too

now u can buy new iphone 3gs by tml midnight

haha
btw vodafone plan not bad though

n free tethering..

but kinda confuse with optus tethering..is it mean we pay for $9.99 for 1st month, then remaining months r free?

of coz np..

now i just wait for the upgrade option from optus
hope they nvr let me down lol

looks like i need gif up for this iphone 3gs since i need pay full for remaining months for my contract

n i got mail from optus tht i can waive 20% off for current plan if wan upgrade to new iphone 3gs but still is a lot money for me to upgrade
this is message i got..i just quoted some of the contents


"We know you are only part way through your 24 month plan so because you pre-registered for iPhone info we're offering you the chance to upgrade to the new Apple iPhone 3G S and we will discount 20% off your early upgrade fees from your current mobile plan when you take up a new 24 month iPhone plan.† "

ya..once u unlocked then u will b no need unlock again..except ur phone got prob n exchange 1-to-1 then u will need unlock again bcoz different serial number

ya.heard it too tht u can buy it outright at apple store OZ here

n start at 8am tml..

but kinda risky if queue up with other ppl with serious swine flu around here

i guess is just for on9 customer bcoz i saw iphone 3gs brochure with 12month contract inside..

hope can head over to c how the queues..lol

but lazy n 10c makes me more lazier..lol

i read many good reviews from whirlpool about new iphone 3gs..especially the extreme fast loading..n all nvr regret from upgrade 3g to 3gs..
but the thing is the white colour iphone is a bit yellowish ..
quoted from 1 of iphone 3gs:
"have also noticed the white colour does have a yellowish tinge, not crisp white"

Added on June 26, 2009, 10:48 amn personal review from another user:

# Much faster, the claims are right. Much more satisfying to use when everything comes up instantly, no keyboard stutter. Web rendering noticably improved.
# Seemed to load content onto the device faster than usual, took about 15 mins for the full 16GB that I had on my old device
# Video is extremely smooth – this is a huge step above most choppy phone camera video I've seen despite it "only" being VGA resolution. The 30fps really is great to play-back even for fast movement.
# The google maps orientation is nice, not really that useful to be honest but I'm sure 3rd parties will come up with uses for it.
# I'm enjoying using the headphones with volume control built in. Music starts up INSTANTLY when you push the button on the headphones even when the device is in standby. There really is very very little time spent waiting with this device.

oic..but the good reviews makes me feel like fork out $500 to upgrade to new iphone..but "financial crisis" here
bcoz of it's speed demon

just back from Optus World to "feel" the new iphone..not many ppl queue

wat i can say is amazing speed..feel like wan throw away my current iphone 3g n get the new instead..lol
but i cant find voice control at thr..or is it in setting?

rly?lol..don know about it..

but 1 thing,is the home button smaller size than iphone 3g?or just me?
coz i found out is smaller a bit n quite nice to press

Apple only lets iPhone 3GS buyers inside store
