Dang it!
That’s a very promising review. (:
I was kinda hoping that you would say you hated the phone and wanted to sell it.. yeah, I’m looking for one to buy on the cheap – and not on a plan!
Great review, anyways!
Have fun with your new toy!

Two weeks with my iPhone 3G and I’m not regretting spending too much for it. I got mine on a “pre-paid”, “no contract” basis, and cost me around $800.

The iPhone 3G may not be as efficient as other smartphones in terms of its mobile features. But the add-on value comes in when you use the iPhone for other purposes than calling/texting.

I’ve had mine for about 2 weeks, so still early days. But so far I’d never consider going back to a typical handset.

I have not experienced the receptions issues (Brisbane and Gold Coast QLD) on the Optus network. Battery life does mean a nightly charge, but it’s backing up the contents of my iPhone at the same time, so it’s good practice in my book.

Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase, especially when I look at the value on the special Virgin Mobile $70 cap with $520 of calls and text plus 1Gb data each month!

And yes, I’m a PC user.
