Re: iPhone-So who's got the best iPhone deal? Apple blocking Push on unlocked iPhones

Hi Ronni and iPhoners

It's getting complicated isn't it?

I got my iPhone 3GS last week and have put the SIM into it from my old  
Nokia and it works perfectly. Obviously not at NextG speeds but so far  
the Telstra normal service seems to drive the GPS/maps app perfectly  
well. Phone calls are fine and it's great as a Wifi tool, locking onto  
networks without any problem, including the one at home.


One of the first apps I downloaded was Reunion, the great genealogy  
program for Macs which now has an iPhone version. It means I can sync  
client files onto the iPhone and go off and do research if I need to.


I haven't tried the Telstra hotspots, but there aren't all that many  
in Perth.


I plan over time to try out various SIMS - there doesn't seem to be  
much recognition by the telcos that there must be a significant number  
of unlocked phones out there...


Cheers
Mike

More information overload for us to wade through and make sense of ;-)

Sorry to pimp my own work, but have you seen my iPhone app, Instaviz?  
You can do charts, mind maps and such just by sketching the shapes and  
linking them up. It sounds like an ideal fit for drawing family trees  
and such. And you'd be supporting quality local iPhone development :-)
