iPhone - might be time to jump over to this ship

Just noticed this sweet-as-hell deal: http://mobile-phones.theage.com.au/MobilePhones/Carriers/Optus/Cap/Optus-$49-iPhone-Cap?phone=iPhone-8GB

Seeing as I'm paying $49 as it is for my cap plan + data (1GB), with less included value (on 3)...this is bloody tempting. More included value, slightly less data (don't really mind this) and a free iPhone at the cost of being locked in for 24 months. Tempting...

go for it.
seriously, i go so jibbed with my plan.
i wanted the prada phone when it first came out, no other phone would do it, all i wanted was prada, the onli companies that were offering prada was vodaphone and virgin, but the vodaphone was on a $100 cap at the time and the prada was onli on $50, so obviously went with virgin. doesnt mistake i ever did..

Ive got nothing bad to say about virgin but seriously, im paying $50 a month ( if im fucking lucky ) and that onli includes me to $120 worth of calls. now i always go over my cap, my last bill was $275 bux, my entire pay for that week had to go to that one fucking phone bill..

im going to cancel the contract, not worth it for the amount of calls i make and shit.
im eyeing the iphone as well, but everyone who has it says not to get it. but i think its just an amazing phone. does everything u want it to do.

These apps sound useless.

:P

I'm a pragmatic person!
