Is it worth buying an iPhone 3G? i do NEED a new phone... if i buy an iPhone, if required, will it be easy to unlock so i can use it on a Virgin pre-paid sim card in australia? What is a good price for the various models? (8gb, 16gb or 32gb) im looking to get it cheap as possible, so will it be safe to buy it from eBay?
Best phones I have seen for the cash this year are the samsung jxxx series.
iphone is actually over hyped rubbish.. people have no signal on o2 where my 6 year old nokia on the same network is 3/4 full strength... and they are pretty useless except on the network which supports them.
It's hard to think of any other device that's enjoyed the level of exposure and hype that Apple found in the launch of the first iPhone. I think its totally worth to buy iPhone.It is safe to buy from ebay also.

where in the world are you getting these figures at?? there is no-way in hell you can touch an iphone of any model, 2g first edition, second edition, 3g, 3gs for those prices. 2g's are still going for around 200, 3gs are around 300, 3gs are around 400, and those are for 8 gig versions, not the 16 or 32's. maybe you should look at ebay before you say what you can get them for.

Thanks, Rod.
you don't mention what you'll use it for. I had used windows mobile and palm phones for about 8 years and when the att tilt i had crashed, i decided to give an iphone a try. i am very pleased with the abundance of applications and the ability to extend the phone - something the winmo phones aspired to do, but haven't achieved. that said, the iphone has crappy battery life - especially if you intend to use gps functionality - carry a spare battery / charger just in case. and the pim features - especially contact integration w/phone dialer is pathetic - and calendaring.
i've learned to live with these shortcomings, so far - but if these are 'showstoppers' then you might want to consider alternatives.
Yes, i think it's so confused to make an decision to buy so expensive iPhone. My friend bought an cect phone just looks like the same as iPhone at cectunlocked.com ,it is very cheap and works well. But I'm just a little worried about that. Can anyone give me an advice about buy an phone online?
