cut_loose Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Why dont you just buy a cheap $150 dollar camera mate ? you can get one with 10mp for that price and its heeps better and you wont waste space on your phone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-m00d Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 the iphone cameras are pretty good, and there are apps that can increase the mp of the camera, also programs that are out, that can load the pictures to your comp and better quailty then itunes, im on that timeless plan, i pay 119 which includes data the only people i can call is 1300 numbers and international calls, they get charged at the normal rate, so if you make alot of calls, this would be a good plan.

david88 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Haha I'm typing this on my iPhone. I'm with optus, I signed up 2 weeks ago at telechoice in burwood Westfield, their doing the 79$ plan for $69 a month. I got a 16gb 3gs with $640 normal credit and 640$ optus to optus credit, and a gig of data. I initially wanted a 32gb as I have a shitload of music and vids but I'm pretty happy to save a few hundred bucks and just change the music after a while. They threw in a case and chargertoo. I'm in no way affiliated with these guys I just shopped around for a while and they were the best. It did take them a few days longer than they promissed though to deliver the phone. It really is an amazing phone you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Sunn Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi Steve, I think Optus is also offering a $100 bonus on your bill if you sign up online rather than go into a store. I also just signed up for the 3Gs 16 on the $79 plan (with a $10 discount each month). Add in the $100 bucks and I am laughing. Can't wait to get the phone now. (will take about a week for delivery) Cheers Sunnyboy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennmreid Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I went with Virgin mobile who use the Optus Network. I went with a Nokia 5800 which is competing against the I Phone. The Nokia 5800 is a dual band phone, which is very important in regionals area, where the i Phone isn't dual band. I love the Nokia 5800. If you get the Nokia 5800, you get 1 years worth of free music downloads through the Nokia music site. Will save me a fortune in buying music. I've downloaded a ton of albums, singles etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
