I've decided against the 6288 on 3, instead I'm going to get a Hiptop3 on Telstra. (Also known as the Sidekick3) It's a bit more than I'd hoped to pay ($675 for the handset) but Telstra's $30 unlimited plan seems pretty cool. All the sms/email/IM/web use you want... Shame that voice calls are not included in the $30, but I don't use my mobile for calls that often anyway. Now I just need to save up a few pennies so I can go buy the sucker. I'm geeking out.

yeah im with josh, not upgrading until i get the iPhone. Even with only a 4G or 8G hardrive, its all i really need to listen to tracks on the train whilst going to work. I've got all my music at work on my machine here, so i hardly use my iPod anymore.
IM EXCITED!

I use my ipod in my car 24/7 i don't remember the last time i listened to the radio
who would have thought a 1992 magna stereo was so compatible with a 2006 ipod - (it has a aux in plug)

They've only been out here for about a week. The Hiptop2 came out late last year.
I'm pretty sure Strawberry has a Sidekick - they are the exact same thing just with a different name.
Hiptop/Sidekick has an mp3 player function as well, with up to 2gig of space. But I'm not worried about that, I have my iPod for music. I'm all about the unlimited web/email/IM/sms. Not to mention the flippy screen and qwerty keyboard.

yeh she has one of those, i found it on the telstra website, and i quite like it. but it's only got msn/yahoo no aim and the unlimited text/mms/email is pretty cool. i'm going to go into a telstra shop and have a look at some things.

<grumble> I wish I got paid overtime. I'm here till 7 most nights </grumble>
I have only one plan for the weekend so far, and that's sleeping in on Saturday morning. That's it.
Also, I think I'm getting sick, there's a flu going around the office and today I'm feeling sinusy and discombobulated.

my weekend was seeing silverchair, then my cousins 30th birthday, and today shopping (clothes for NIN and the new Tori CD)...then next weekend is NIN in Melb and i have just been sick the last week. It seems to be going around everywhere. I was in bed all last weekend, and i still have a cough now....the guy at Woolies said that every second person had been buying cough lollies when i was in there buying mine. Hope you feel better soon Vic.
