Ummm... Yeah - as per my posting early this morning in the Virgin iPhone thread.

Silicone iphone cases and the face proximity sensor issue

Telstra at Morley (WA) would not sell the phones outright. They were very insistent - no plan no phone!

My old Virgin sim -- waiting for it to port over -- works fine in the iPhone.

Hmm, my (still waiting for Optus to port) Virgin sim, doesn't work. The iPhone asks to be plugged into iTunes and then an error message pops up as it tries to connect to the iTunes Store.
