Vague Telstra iPhone 3G Plan & Pricing Info
Apparently Telstra's iPhones will include exclusive Telstra applications.
Telstra sources have said that its developers had been working on a range of exclusive applications for the iPhone, which they believe will be a major incentive for customers. "One of the most attractive features of the iPhone is the huge range of third-party applications that have been developed for the first iPhone. Telstra is committed to providing a range of unique iPhone apps that will make it the clear choice for consumers when considering which carrier to buy their iPhone from."

Probably because so many people were going to it, heh.
You'd think msot people wouldnt care about data with WiFi hotspots everywhere they travel. Pretty much free internet anywhere with telstra xD

I actually like the rumoured pricing for Telstra. Will be interesting to see the other 2 carriers pricing in regards to it.

It doesnt say that they will force it on you, and a restore on the iPhone will probably remove the crap if they do put it on there.

Presently I spend $40 with Telstra as I had to take the $10 data pack. Migrating to a new 3g phone would save me $10 per month. I do hope they take my idea of making the first gen phones work without hacking. Even if they said folks had to buy a new sim.

Great news indeed... Nice to finally see some pricing also... Surely this will cause other telco's to react and start announcing their pricing too...
Being a Vodafone customer (pre-pay), the access to Telstra Wi-Fi is appealing...
I wonder how much data and calls are included...

From the press release: "The Next G iPhone 3G plans start at $30 per month with an upfront cost of $279 for the 8GB model and $399 for the 16GB model. Customers will receive the 8GB iPhone 3G model at no cost with the $80 plan and either the 8GB or the 16GB model at no cost with plans starting at $100 per month. All plans include free Wi-Fi access at Telstra hotspots and require a 24-month contract."
More coming soon chaps.
Free Telstra wi-fi is AWESOME as it's in a lot of places in the CBD!
