My iPhone has about a 1mm scratch on the screen (was bought like this). Is it worth to try and claim DOA?

Hi, I got my 8gb black iphone this morning in Melbourne cbd, it still says "No Service" still too. I guess its a long busy day down at Optus and porting numbers!

Got the 2nd last 16GB Black iphone from the melbourne CBD store!!!I think there is still a queue there!

Can someone with an 8gb please tell me what size it is really? Like 7.2gb?

Trying to organise some smart playlists. =D

My local Optus World has some in stock.

edit: can you buy insurance from Optus, and if so, how much?

8GB = 7.02Gb :S

Damn, never noticed it was that small.

Got my 16GB Black iPhone from the Sydney Apple Store today, went smoothly apart from the Optus servers going down for ages.

When I got to the second floor I went through the activation etc. decided to go on 24 month $59 Cap (after playing with demo units and watching usage, I realised 500MB was plenty for me, so no need to jump ship to 3).

When the girl went to select handset payments the dropdown said 24 or 1. I stopped her and asked if that meant I could pay the handset upfront and she said yes, so I changed to a 12 month plan, paying $504 upfront for the handset. Anyone else notice that this was Windows they were doing it on? The Windows Update 5mins till restart thing kept interrupting us.

So the $504 will be on my first bill, then she asked If I wanted MobileMe, so I said yes (turns out they're giving a discount like in the US, $40 off), and also got a Dock.

The wait in line was excruciating (my feet are still sore), but going from the front of the line to leaving the store with my phone only took about 20 minutes.

So far I'm pretty happy, having owned an iPod touch I'm not as wowed as some people might be, but it's a great device. I'm just glad I got one, going to the Apple Store was the right choice it seems.

It was also hilarious that while we were lining up they kept having to go up the line and call out for Telstra/Vodafone customers, because almost the whole line was Optus and the Vodafone reps didn't have any customers.

So count me as being overall very happy with my experience today.

They do offer insurance, but since I turned it down I never saw the price.

Sounds good.

Do you know if other Apple Resellers (DSE, Myer, DJs, Next Byte etc...) Will offer the mobile Me discount?

Times like this I actually wish I was in sydney, would have hit up the apple store big time.

Totally unsurprised that Voda had no customers. I'm with Voda at the moment, but no way am I willing to sign up to their crap iPhone plans.

I'm willing to wait a couple of weeks to see if things change (prices/plans), but if it doesn't I'm going to look at moving to Optus. I suspect there are quite a few of us in the same boat.

Any reports from Canberra?

Insurance on a 24 month plan for a 16GB was around $11 per month

Quick question (probably silly but I can't see specific instructions in the pack):

Do you charge the battery first or discharge it fully first? And if you charge it first, is it best to leave it longer than it says it needs?

Damn. Probably won't get insurance then. $6-7 i can do, $11 is pushing past $50 a month. =[

Does anyone know if your iPhoto library photos get scaled down? I'm running out of space on my iPhone to be!

My shiny new iPhone 8GB thinks I'm in Sweden (not far out of Stockholm) when it locates me... Anyone else?

Yes, photos are scaled down when uploaded onto the iPhone.

I love my whitePhone. So f'ing good. 2nd in line for it. I got it on a plan that I can't tell you about (hehe). The locate me feature works perfect for me-just has me about 20m out from my actual location.
