I was just thinking, I want an iPod and a new phone... So why not get an iPhone?

Has anyone got one yet? Are they worth there high price tag?

An iPhone is just like a regular mobile phone. It has a 2 megapixel camera which is really crap compared to the other expensive phones and a touch screen.

If you want an expensive phone go buy an N95.

Granted it's really just a glorified phone with a touch screen essentially.

You are better off getting the iTouch and a separate mobile

With the iPhone you cant set mp3's as ringtones, amongst other gimping things >.>

Hi Sean79,

I remember seeing a thread here of someone who imported an iphone quite a few months ago so I search and found it:
www.mywii.com.au/
Maybe you could try and contact the guy who started that thread: zfishes
Or do a search in the MyWii forum for iphone, there are a heap of other threads.

Cheers.

I'm American but living in Australia now and I would LOVE to have an iPhone. BUT... I don't think that buying one overseas to use it here is a good idea right now. There are so many more things I can do with $750 than blow it on a technology that hasn't officially made it here yet.

I would wait. I'm sure you won't have to wait too much longer. I do hate how it takes forever for their products to get here at jacked up prices.

To the person who said you can't set MP3 ringtones, you can.

If youre a Mac user (you need to be to use this feature) you can simply open GarageBand, create your own ringtone (up to 40 seconds) and import to your iPhone.

If you want a song, simply load it (such as from iTunes) and cut the song until you get the part you want as your ringtone.

It's easy and it's free.

Yeah, I don't think I'll buy one, I might just wait until they come to Australia and the prices aren't so outrages.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I read that the iPhone was giving off bad radiation. Also had some plastic problem. IMO, Get the N95 with 8gb internal memory. I was gonna get the iPhone but the N95 8gb talked me out of it.

Get an ipod touch, hack that with jailbreak and you have ABSOLUTELY everything the iPhone has (except phone, bluetooth and camera)
So just get another phone, that has those 3 things, and there you go. Its an iPhone in 2 pieces
Plus if u look around, u can get cheap ipod touches, mine was only $260...thanks to a certain somone
