iPhone3 == 3xiPhone

Finally as we saw, Telstra joined the mess. According to the unreleased plan,

$279 for an 8GB iPhone 3G or $399 for the 16GB version.

Good news isn't it? Hold on, check out the next line:

while subscribers can obtain the 8GB phone for free with an $80 monthly plan and the 16GB handset for free with a $100 plan.

What the hell! I dare to ask who the hell wants to pay $1920 for just a single bloody mobile phone!? Have a look on the street, those old-timers are still holding a 10-years-old Nokia for just simple telephone and SMS. This price is unbelievable; i can almost buy a MBP by this price.

In fact, i use MBP for my job and daily life; i listen to my nano wherever i been but i gonna say i am not a (huge) Apple fan, neither a windows fan :). The only reason i use Mac OS is because windows sucks and Linux has fairly limited supported software (espacially in enterprise environment). To be honest, i believe Apple products are over-priced. Yes, they do provide high quality, but that's not mean we are fool. Check out the new iPhone 3G plan all over the world:

• In Canada, FIDO & ROGERS, the lowest price is $60/month and the highest is $115/month. Most importantly, the $115 package can only use 2G for data transfer, and the funny thing is, they explain that 2G equals to 1 million text messages or 16,000 web pages. F**k you fool, it has the bloody Wi-Fi builted in, what the point of having 1M text msgs? I can just pay $39 from Vodafone for 5G mobile internet.
  
• 3G at HongKong, 8G version costs $120 with the $42/month plan, and 16G version costs $223 with $34/month plan. Cheaper isn't? If i really want to buy one, it will definitely be HK.
• America, oh i love it. You just need to pay $30/month for single customer or $40/month or enterprise.
  

Now Jobs' $199 joke is over. As the concurrency is almost the same between Aus $ and US $, i dont see the point that why Australian have to pay almost $1000 extra dollars for it. It doesn't have Flash support; it doesnt have video call and it does have Wi-Fi builted-in but most companies are selling their Wi-Fi servers rather than telling you that this small brillent device can connect to your wireless router at your home or office.

I am pretty angre with the price, meanwhile i am downloading the damn 1.2G iPhone SDK. Holy shit, can you just make it smaller Jobs? I gonna pay my bill next month, not you!!
