Hi all,

Just a note on the iPhone and warranty in Australia. It is not an Australian product and Apple and it's retailers can not provide warranty on this product at the moment. The amount of angry customers I have had come in because they do not know all the facts about the iPhone is quite high. Do make sure you check as many user forums as you can about people using it here, the user experience seems to differ vastly.

Personally I have not heard about the iPhone coming out so soon, I'm guessing that date in Feb is to coincide with the opening of the Sydney Apple store? I don't think we will see the iPhone in Australia till it is a 3G phone but as is always the case with Apple, we do not know until they announce it.

Hi Peter,

Strong rumors are about that the iPhone will be released in Australia on the 20th February - that’s in a few short weeks.
I would wait rather than try to hack the iPhone.
There are lots of instructions out there, but ... if you make a mistake when hacking your iPhone, you can ‘brick’ it - ie turn your iPhone into an expensive $900 paper weight ... a mere house brick. If you do this, you can expect no mercy from Apple to fix it as your warranty will be void.

"On the other hand, you do stand to own a working iPhone if you the follow the jail-breaking and unlocking instructions religiously."

Cheers,
Ronni
