Their standard plan come with 5mb (yes Megabytes, not Gigabytes) of data. Imagine how quickly that'll get used just using the GPS!</p> That’s nothing, check out the prices from Telstra in Australia.

australia has horrible data plans and the only carrier that does have a decent one doesnt have the iphone.

telstra is a rip off at something like $1 per meg pay as you go, vodaphone is like $69 a month not including the payments for the phone (another $8 a month) with like 200mb of data with charge rates through the roof if you go over, and optus has a fairly bleh deal of $49 cap with 200mb of data or something.

its all crap. not a single deal is good value for money, and it feels like a cash grab from all 3 available aussie vendors.

bring on the iphone to three, imo.

ps: the fact i can buy a jailbroken iphone 3g from china or europe and it is still cheaper even including shipping than walking into a local optus store and buying one out right shows there is something wrong with the price australians are being charged for such a device.
