That's what I did, will be out of current contract in March and I own the phone.

Yep, same. That's what I did when I got this. I had 4 months to go (Optus) but because I used enough $$ they up'ed my plan by $10 and I got the iPhone at no extra charge. SWEET!

This is how my phone arrived today.
It travelled over 1000 km and went to the wrong post office before it got to my house.
bloody pathetic!
I bet the poor woman at vodafone who sold me the phone is going to regret giving me her extension # after I give her a serving about this!!

Were you concerned about it not being secured and getting damaged?
My son's friend sent me a block of Baileys chocolate from Ireland last week. She simply put it in a pink (of course) normal envelope, no padding or anything, no customs declaration etc etc. It arrived 5 days later, and completely intact - even though it was a truffle chocolate and should have been completely smashed.

yes.
Although I see whatyou are saying regarding sending things, there is a bit of a difference between a block of chocolate and a sensitive piece of electrical equipment that you will use daily for at least the next 12 months.
I've seen how couriers work - and it isn't pretty.
but thanks for the reply

I agree with you that it wasnt packaged properly, and probably my response didnt reflect that so sorry about that.
I was just gobsmacked that a twenty-something would think it was safe to send a block of chocolate round the world in a paper envelope and it would arrive intact. And it damn well did! :Your iphone should have had filler packaging - just so it didnt get knocked around. Keep that photo just in case something happens later on and they try to claim that you dropped it.
Enjoy your new toy!

Question.
Is there a back button?
ie: back one step/page?
All I can do is cancel everything and return to the homepage by hitting big button doen bottom.
Saying that, this is a pretty impressive machine!

Depends on the application, some of them have a back button on the screen of the current page.

They actually sent you the iphone in that massive box with no other form of packaging around it? I'd send it back and ask for a new one!

New bug lets you unlock iPhone for calls
A bug in Apple's iPhone OS gives thieves a way to unlock stolen iPhones and make telephone calls.
The flaw was first reported late Friday on the MacRumors discussion forum and is very much like other, similar bugs discovered in iOS over the past few years. In an Internet video, one user shows how it works on a phone that requires a security passcode before it will work. By hitting the Emergency Call button and then tapping ###, Call, and then quickly hitting Lock, he is able to open up the iPhone's Phone program, look up the owner's contacts and make telephone calls to any phone number.

And what happened to the concorde?
No, I hate iphones, or rather Apple, which makes diabolical software that conflicts with everything Windows. First it was the ipods that filled my computer with mountains of junk, caused all sorts of conflicts and disconnected my DVD drive. Now that we have two iphones in the house, the wireless keeps dropping out. Only when my daughters go out and take their evil toys with them can I trade again with security.
Looks like I'm going to have to rewire the network just to live with these Apple gremlins. And please don't tell me the only way around the problem is to buy everything Apple.
Apple is the problem, not the solution.

New iPhone out in Europe on Sept 15th, 30 mega pixel camera, release in Australia October..........lets see if my info is correct.
They would want to bring the goods on their next release or risk losing a larger share of the market. Their tightass updates of each phone wont cut it anymore.
My father just received the new iphone and man what a headache. Tiny ass sim card, won't bluetooth to s2 even though s2 will find Iphone, but it looks pretty. Thats as far as I have got (just transferring contacts). Looks ready to break at the drop of a hat as well so have to find a case. I'm not a fan of apple products and limited experience to the kids ipod touch which I thought were utter $hite for the price.
His old S2 still looks new apart from some very small paint loss from the speaker at the top. Never had a problem with the s2 so far except that in sunlight it is hard to see the screen ( I hear Iphone is much better in this regard)
He is very tough on his phones so will be interesting to see how iphone goes and I will be happy to be wrong on my current bias.

Get this..........
Did the OS update, was sending messages to a friend when all of a sudden..........someone else joined the conversation
I thought I was dreaming, happened again the following morning........rang Apple was told that if I have more than one person on my iTunes account, I do, my sons, then if Imessage is turned on we can all see each others messages.
What a load od BS, turned it off immediately, now just realised I gave my iTunes access to a mate a while ago for something or other, he's a pom and we make a few inside jokes at his expense once in a while and now I wonder if he's been eavesdropping ?
I think I'll switch when my contract is up...cant delete photos cant do this cant do that......I was a big fan but I've about had it with Apple.
