i'm quite disappointed with optus's price release actually. mayb due to the expectation i have from the earlier leaked prices..haha..
am now currently thinking of getting the virgin 16gb old iphone 3g. its on 45 cap for 24months. the plans suits me coz it have only 50mb data per month and alot of call time. i planning to use my uni's wifi so i guess its ok.
the problem is i kinda wanted 3gs but if all other carrier's pricing is similar to optus i dont think i'll get one(optus cap plan doesnt include international calls which is a big minus for me).
the virgin's offer is limited so i'm not sure if i should wait. what do you guys think? just extra opinions for me to consider.

yup i noticed that too.but maybe they are assuming you know that it'll b 45+15 dollar per month. actually the information is not complete, they did not even mention whether the data plan is in the contract for 24 months or you can remove it as you like after signing up.
they've just changed it an hour ago so mayb the information is not added yet. but its quite misleading to their customers.

anyway its clearly stated in the link that the data pack must be included.
I wonder what will happen to customers that signed up before the change.

it is the same with the black unit. just that cracks in the white units are easier to notice.
in the whirlpool forum, people mentioned that the battery is indeed an issue but they'll improve gradually after a few charges.

im not sure this question has been asked.
i tried register my account in the itunes but i've reached a page where they require to enter my payment method when purchasing stuff through itunes.
as my credit card is from malaysia and i've registered under an australia account, they wouldn't accept it. so is the only way to go through this particular step/page is by entering an itunes gift card no.?
thx for the help in advance

Chadstone is abit too far for me. I don't think i'll be heading there anytime soon. My last resort would be rushfaster.com.
