What has been my personal experience with the new iPhone?

I was asked about my experience with the iPhone 4S yesterday in a message, and this is the reply I gave - I bought an black iPhone 4S 32Gb model. White is available and is nicer for ladies. You need the 32Gb as it films in high definition and that uses a lot of space. You can sync an iPhone 4S to a Mac or P via cable or to the Apple iCloud when you're not near a computer. This is a cool feature and allows sync between all your Apple devices. Check out www.icloud.com 

If you are really going bush, then you need to be with Telstra, otherwise you're fine with Vodafone or Optus. I prefer Vodafone as I get very good performance since they have done their upgrades. A year ago it was a different story, but now they're good.

The plan I am on is the Vodafone Infinite Plan 50, which allows me to call any number in Australia, landline or mobile for any amount of time. 13 and 1800 numbers are charged and come out of the $50. This is the best plan I have ever been on. They even gave me a bonus 1Gb of data on top of the included 500Mb, although I don't know if this is an ongoing deal.

Here is a link to the Infinite plans, I am on the $50 one at the top and it seems enough. http://shop.vodafone.com.au/all-plans?id=900013

The handset cost over the term of the 24 month contract is $20 a month, very fair making the phone cost $480. The 16Gb version is only $3 less at $17pm so go for the 32Gb.


So your total cost per month inc data and phone is $70 total, and the only thing you have to watch is you don't go over the $50 on the 13 and 1800 numbers. 1900 number are chargeable of course.

The iPhone 4S is the best business phone on the market, not just because of features but because Android phones, and they may have one of two better features, are open source operating system and therefore still vulnerable to malware. Apple's iOS is closed architecture and you don't need to run a virus program (I don't think they even make one), and it is just an elegant, businesslike smartphone with a great camera, and a good feature set that also happens to have a iPod built in - bonus!


And then of course there's the many accessories you can buy for it if you know where to look. Here's some of them in one pic that I compiled just this week.
