stublu said: i admit, it is missing a few things that most other high end phones have, but i dont really care about any of those things.

i went into optus today, they told me their next shipment had already been rainchecked and they diddnt know when the order after that would come in. the guy at allphones told me 2 and a half weeks

ectozar said: Im loving the iphone. Sure it doesnt have video recording capability..no big lose, i never used it anyway..and no MMS (this one was my main grip, but again hardly ever used it..), but it has so many great features also.

The App store is awesome, atm alot of the app's are not too great but the potential the store has is immense.

I've also downloaded a fair few free apps which are great.

The keypad is top notch, i've found it better than the standard keypads on phones, its so much quicker to use once you've got the hang of it (which is about after 4 or 5 txt's), and the battery life is very good compared to any other phone on the market, especially for the features it has in it.

Overall im very happy with it, but i was hesitant in locking into a 24month contract, i try never to lock into anything like this..but oh well, i wanted it and now i have it.

Caroma said: its just an ipod that can make calls. your better off supergluing an ipod nano to the back of whatever phone you already have.
Seriously, camera that cant take video, no MMS function, no cut&paste ability (not that this ones a deal breaker), no camera flash, they put it on 3G and then fail to give it a secondary camera for video calls, an apparently difficult to use keypad, still has a rather short battery life, iTunes is ****e....
i'll stick to my Sony Ericsson thankyou.
