If you order online you can get 2 free months with Optus, which would most certainly lessen your over all cost.

No longer available.

I just checked online and the offer is still there for me

Well I got my iPhone 4 at last today. When I got back to the office I went to jailbreakme.com and it downloaded the installer. Then it sat on the sit tight screen for over and hour so I cleared the cache, cookies and history and restarted the phone. It stayed on the Apple logo for another 2 hours, so I had to do a restore, which of course put me on 4.0.2 so I can't JB for now. But it's working 100% and I lived without JB for 2 months on the 3G and didn't really miss it so meh.

Other than that, Sweet Raptor Jesus the screen is amazingly clear and crisp. Also, coming from a 3G this thing feels so damn fast and smooth. The camera is great too, the 720P video recording is just gorgeous!

I'd like to see the 720p on the iphone 4, On my HTC desire it's a bit... meh... I'll upload a 720p of the desire if someone wants, but for some reason wouldn't let me upload it direct to youtube

Comments on battery life?

I've found the battery life to be surprisingly good. With only light usage it stretches to maybe 3-4 days, with fairly heavy usage you should be able to get a solid 2 days use without having to charge it again.

Also this is the best 3G data speed I've ever had with Optus. Apps download in no time and browsing the web is very fast.

I have one too, and can attest to the quality of the display. It's like my X1's, except even better. The display alone makes it a worthwhile upgrade to existing users. Comparing the two exposes the 3G/3GS displays as the pitiful screens they always were.

The camera may have a decent resolution now, but they also have a nasty circle of slightly green tinted pixels which is a little disappointing. It's only really noticeable when you take a photo of a wall or similar subject, though.

The keyboard can't compare to a real one, but it's actually far better than I thought it was going to be. I'm really only missing the dedicated punctuation keys at the moment...

As for the grip of death, I switched to Telstra to attempt to reduce the effect of it. I haven't had a dropped call yet, but it did make both parties inaudible when I tested in a low reception area.

The LED is great, and is excellent with the Light app which automatically switches it on when started. Very bright and great as a torch.

Jailbreaking has allowed me to install SBSettings, OpenSSH, and custom SMS and email tones. I have no doubt I will find many other things to play with. It has not slowed down the phone at all.

The tethering is fantastic and works just like my old X1's did - easy, reliable and very fast (4.5Mbps!) and is much better than the P1 I've been using for the past couple months.

In much the same way as with my previous phones, I love the 4 and hate it at the same time (though for different reasons, obviously). It's not perfect but now that it has been upgraded and I have jailbroken, it will do the job nicely for the next 2 years. Overall though, I think I like the phone and can see it getting a crapton of use over the coming 24 months.

It looks like the green/blue haze in the middle of the camera only occurs under fluro lights. I haven't had it anywhere else but work, which is the only place I go with fluros.

Hmm, interesting theory. I just tried it out in a section of the office that uses incandescent lighting and didn't have the problem. I'll have to try it out at home later too.

[Shinanigans]

Hmm, rather grainy! Is that with the flash on?

After using my iPhone 4 for only a couple of hours after I got it on Wednesday, I decided to pull out my 3G and compare the two. I was genuinely surprised when I realised how pixelated the 3G's screen was. I could barely look at it!

So far, it has been well worth the upgrade, even though it came with 4.0.2 so I can't jailbreak.
