Customer Review: Apple iPhone 3G (16Gb)

Is the iPhone just for devoted Apple fans?

With all the hype surrounding the release of the iPhone 3G, we previously did a quick post letting you know where you could find some technical advice before outlaying your hard earned cash.

CNET helps you out with technical advice as well as “is the iPhone for me” type questions: Have your iPhone 3G questions answered

On that post we received some iPhone review comments:

iPhone 3G Review

As a fan of Nokia phones for the last 14 years, the decision to go to an iPhone was not taken lightly.

I got mine on Saturday, and I am in love!

I am not very technically minded and don’t use a Mac, but I am managing to figure things out as I go along. I didn’t like the fact that you get no instruction book or CD. I did have to call Optus tech support to ask why I wasn’t connecting to the net (I got through really quickly) and they had a team dedicated to iPhone. I hadn’t downloaded iTunes!

I am definitely happy that I have made the switch and glad that I went with Optus who have given me a 16GB phone for $2 a month over 2 years on a $79 cap with $550 in calls and text and 500MB of download. (my boss paid $319 for hers through Vodafone and is locked to a contract for 2 years!)

Got a great case from FunkyCoverz: Xrap Hard Shell - don’t forget to peel off the protective coating!

Great one, thanks for the input Michelle; AND for the tip – it will serve us well
