I was pushed (although it didn't take much after seeing the new iPhone 3GS) to get another phone for personal use. One of the minor perks of my current job was the phone. Now the bureaucracy to make a few personal calls is frustrating.
So on Saturday I went to Optus World, in Carousel (Cannington, Western Australia), was signed up on a plan within 20 minutes and the phone was active within an hour.
As I'm plugged into the interwebs I knew the issues with plans and costs in the US and UK. It is interesting to be in a country where there is competition on the iPhone, so there are a range of plans with no up front costs and a reasonable quantity of calls/text included. The data included is OK compared to rest of the world; but it is unlikely we'll see "unlimited" data offered here in Oz.
In Australia Apple is now selling the iPhone unlocked on the web store.
