    and its going to be on Vodafone :( They could have at least chosen a company that has good coverage (btw.. despite what phone companies see to think, having good coverage in capital cities does not mean you have good coverage in general)

      Exactly what I thought. What a waste. Ah well - while I love the iPhone UI I love having a device that actually allows me to work even better. I'll stick to my Wifi enabled, QWERTY keyboard, week-long battery life, camera and flash enabled super-light Blackberry.

              I thought I had changed the subject to OT but apparently my mind is in another world tonight. I love the hippo, "Honestly! Who throws salad?" I just like to pick a random page and I always smile. I find it funny how people want to cuddle koalas--those stinkly things...

                          AFAIK, the iPhone can be unlocked, and thus work with any operator (except 3G-operators). What you have to do is to "jailbreak" and "octoprep" it. (Google for those terms). But it will void the warranty.
