Will get my deposit back from Oputs and purchase a prepaid sim next week after my unlock. More waiting!

Oh the shame!

Telstra is the only one you can get outright easily. I'll get it unlocked on Monday...I've waited this long, what's a few more days

Just picked up my Black 16GB from optus in Airport West, Melbourne, Last one there.

Optus World Highpoint say they have stacks, so if you are in melbourne they are worth a call, but it seems like there are plenty around!

Just picked mine up today - 1 months and 4 days after ordering, however I was never given a timeframe. I'm satisfied with the service from OptusWorld @ Toowong

But are you happy with the wait? It's quite ridiculous really I think when you are rainchecked, and you are meant to be fast tracked to the next available iPhone depending on where you are in the queue, are people are walking into stores and walking out with them.

From what I was told they were given very limited stock. I have no reason to doubt them, as they seemed very genuine in what I was told. They were upfront in saying that they had no stock, that supply was limited, and there was no ETA.

Walked up to the Allphones "Bar" at my local shops and got a 16GB white phone - no waiting list or anything! They actually had a few of each model in stock!! This is on optus btw!

The Glen

A mate of mine just walked into the Optus shop at the Glen and purchased a 16GB black over the counter. Thought I would pass this on for anyone still waiting!.

Are you enjoying your FREE WEB BROWSING ?

I did a Bill Enquiry on the Optus web site to find out when they were going to commence my 1 Month Free Web Browsing, as it was past 14 days since I got my iPhone and more than a month since I signed up.

They replied that the free web browsing was applied within 14 days of me signing up and that it would run out TOMORROW.

I made it perfectly clear in my Enquiry that I'd received no notification and that it couldn't logically commence until they'd notified me - not even an SMS to say it had commenced!

Note also that they haven't replied to my (separate) request for a refund for the data portion of my bill for the 18 days I had to wait for the phone to be delivered.

So be warned - your free web browsing will be applied, even if they haven't supplied the phone.

This is NOT OVER by a long run, but I thought I'd post to let others know - another place where Optus' left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. (We all knew that anyway, didn't we?)
