...delaying the iPhone

Oh! Its iPhone launch today. Though I got a slot to get it, I chose not to secure this “Jesus Phone”.

First, the iPhone is too pricey when bundled with call and data plans. With me on the Optus network, I just want to buy it outright, as I am practically around WiFi zones. I’ve been using the Zoo services on my Motorola L6 and not much to cover when I am mobile.

You can actually get at least the A$19 cap plan and have monthly payments for the phone. What I really wanted is to pay the monthly cap and purchase the phone outright. What Optus is doing is trying to do is cash in on installments. Imagine, getting it outright would cost like A$729 for 8 GB and A$849 for 16GB. How’s that with US$199 for 8 GB as Steve Jobs promised? It’s like A$207 when converted. Should there be a way to just get the phone? Anyway, I already got my Optus SIM and all I need is to have that inserted on that toy.

The hype just makes everything cloudy.
