@hoff
welcome to esato mate, its good to see more aussies here.
brand new unbranded K700i for $549 and then go on a byo plan so you dont pay the monthly handset fee.
http://www.techoni.com.au
they are really fast delivery
that really pisses me off because about 2 months ago i payed $649 for mine from the same site
hope this helps

@davo
thanks davo. I was actually thinking of going on the Yes 45 Plan with Optus. There is no upfront fee, no monthly repayments and best of all they have that deal where, if you send 3 sms's in one day the next 30 for that day are free (im a big sms user). Just wanted to see if anyone else found good plans but this one seems the best for me I think. I spend $45 a month anyway... |

if you are on the east coast you may want to try www.ow.com.au
they are about the same price. i recommend buying outright and then getting a pre- or post-paid PAYG deal. i did that with voda because i could still get the "no plans" post-paid deal. if i were doing it now i would do the same, although i'd probably be forced into a pre-paid deal (which for me is kinda annoying - i have a paranoia about running out of credit at the critical moment  )

Hey All,
I finally got my K700i. I love it! Like most of you have said, the battery life on it is the only real downfall for the phone.
I used to be a Nokia user so I have to adjust to the sms system but overall I love the phone! I got Optus Zoo and been trying to watch TV, a little jumpy but its all good.
Davo: Im up for the cricket! Should be good! |

Yes, i think so? Im still a newbie to SE so bear with me.. LOL!
I just go to ‘Optus Zoo’ then to ‘Entertain Me’ and then I can get ‘Live TV’. Channels only available are SBS, ABC and CNN
Runs a little jumpy. Optus claims this is a ‘free service’. I hope it is!
Why do u ask Davo? |

because my guess would be that you dont get charged for the tv but for the GPRS usage,
so i might suggest to you that you stop using it until you find out if you do get stung with GPRS fees
