Finding it hard to figure out which iPhone deal is the best value for money? We've got our calculators out and read the fine print to bring you this easy to follow breakdown of Australia's iPhone pricing.
The much-hyped iPhone, once limited to being sold within the flagship stores of Apple and its exclusive carrier partners, will be far more widely available once its 3G model launches on 11 July.
The Liberals has called on the Commonwealth Auditor-General to conduct an immediate investigation into the tender process for the national fibre-to-the-node network, saying the procedure has been dogged by concerns over value for money and transparency.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
Although 3G phones have been around for years, it appears the iPhone 3G has successfully rewritten the rules of competition in Australia's mobile sector whetting the nation's appetite for data.

For its target market -- budget users and those who don't want bells and whistles -- the MOTOFONE is an excellent phone option. Those who require more pizzazz will quickly grow irked at its shortcomings, however.
Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
