Re: iPhone 3Gs

[Ronda Brown]

Hi WAMUGers interested in purchasing a new iPhone 3G S,

Optus Offering Up To 50% Off Upgrade Fees To Current iPhone 3G  
Customers:
"Optus have sent around an email to current iPhone 3G customers  
offering up to 50% off the upgrade fee when you sign up for the new  
3GS handset for 24 months.


The percentage that you actually get seems to very between 20% and  
50%, and looks to depend on how far into your current contract you  
currently are.


The actual upgrade fee itself for each person also varies, and  
apparently won’t be made known until tomorrow (although some people  
are saying that Optus are telling them when they call up). However, if  
you are still paying off your current 3G handset, you’ll still have to  
pay that off on the new contract as well – so make sure you factor in  
that continued cost when if you decide to upgrade.


The email is also requiring potential iPhone 3GS owners to register  
their place in the queue for tonight’s midnight launch, so if you were  
planning on just rocking up tonight, you might want to look into  
trying to register."





Cheers,
Ronni

Hi all,

Vodafone are finally releasing the iPhone on prepaid.
Plus good deals on contracts.

Contract
8GB - free on 59,69,79,99 and unlimited
16GB - free on 69,79,99 and unlimited
32GB - free on unlimited

Prepaid
8gb - $759
16gb - $929
32gb - $1129

No word on prepaid costs though. Given the Telstra pricing I would  
expect a

fairly high cost per MB.

Anyone down Albany way interested please pop in.
Also of note, 3G is planned to be available across WA in Vodafone  
coverage

areas by September 1.

Hey Ken,

Have you tried my favourite 'Tooble'?
"Browse
Search all of YouTube from within tooble. In one window, you can  
search like you would on YouTube.com, select a category of videos,  
or enter in a URL you already know. From there tooble will search  
all of YouTube to find your video, giving a list of content you can  
download straight to your computer. If you have an account with  
YouTube, you will be able to access your favorited videos from  
within tooble once you enter your username in tooble's preferences.


Download
With a single click of a button, tooble can easily download any  
video from YouTube. All you need to do is check the videos you  
want, hit the download button, and tooble takes care of the rest.  
With support for queuing, you can check as many videos as you like  
and tooble will download each of them simultaneously.


Convert
Immediately after download, tooble will seamlessly begin to convert  
the videos to the .mp4 format, which is playable almost anywhere.  
Instead of using separate tools to handle download and conversion,  
tooble uses one powerful utility to download and convert in one  
fell swoop. Additionally, tooble will allow you to control how your  
video is converted, with options to control the size and quality of  
your converted video."

BigPond users charged thousands for 'data they didn't use'

[Ronda Brown]

BigPond again ...

"A Telstra BigPond customer has been slugged thousands of dollars for  
excess data usage and others have been hit with unexpected bills for  
downloads they claim they didn't use."


"Telstra was repeatedly asked to comment on the matter, but declined."

Telstra not commenting .. Now that is a surprise isn't it ;-)
