I have a couple questions-
1)Anyone know the actual price?
2) I'm on Crazy John's and I think it runs under Vodafone. Will the iPhone work for me?
3)Can you preorder from Vodafone?
Thanx

1) its going to be $200 US, so around $250 Australia dollars.
2) currently optus and vodafone are the only providers signed up for the iphone, fi your on prepaid you can switch to an iphone. But it also goes on a plan.
3) you can't preorder from vodafone right now, but you can with optus

No outright buying of the iPhone? And no evidence of that fabled front-facing camera..?

i believe that you need to still go on a plan even if you have a prepaid - there will be some sort of a committment - like you must charge it once a month - i don't know

Apparently i was reading that you can go on prepaid...

but i'd imagine like someone mention before there will be like a min spend etc...also not all contents will be available to prepaid customers...

I still can't get over how cheap it will be...hmmm... !!!!

Well i am hoping to stay with optus but we will see....one of the main thing about the iphone is 3G network internet browsing...although always gonna be costly...

But hoping closer to the date vodafone and optus will release their plans

Starter Pack: $4.95 - 10MB
Classic Pack: $9.95 - 30MB
Super Pack: $14.95 - 200MB
Excess usage: 50c/MB

some of optus's plans atm....i think vodafone is cheaper...that is in addition to monthly cap...starting at 19

EDIT: vodafone

$11.95 per month you get access to 100MB of data

or

If you're on a Cap:

If you’re on a $49, $79, $99 or $149 Contract or On Account Cap, you’ll pay $1 per 5 minute block.

And if you’re on the new $29 Jumbo Cap Contract or On Account you’ll pay 2c per KB (minimum session 15 KB).

If you're on a plan:

If you’re on a Contract or On Account Plan you’ll pay $1 per 5 minute block.

Internet On Your Mobile is not available to prepay customers (optus or vodafone)

I'd rather the $1 per 5 minute block. 2¢ per Kilobyte is the biggest rip i've ever heard of. Can you browse the net through a wireless access point? ie a router?

yeah if that is the case - i will get an unlocked model off the net as well - it won't be worth it for apple to rip us off, but that won't stop optus and vodafone
