Though the 3 prices seem quite competitive, the selection of handsets available is not very wide. |

Apologies for changing the subject, but does anyone know is the Micro Travel Charger CMT-10 is compatible with Australian sockets, and if this accessory is sold in Australia? |

AFAIK, it is only available for European socket, you can use it here in Australia with socket converter. |

Dah, that doesn't make it truly micro anymore 
Think it's possible to rewire it with an Australian socket? |

Another Aussie here. Just got my SE P800 - all a bit technologically overwhelming at first but so far proving to be an absolutely fantastic phone (compared to my disappointing and useless Siemens S35i). Am "in the sticks", and don't have a PC, but already have been able to do a few workarounds with photo and file transfers using the memorystick Duo in my Sony digital camera and Mac Powerbook. My only surprise so far is that in a country like Australia there is no car cigarette lighter charger included.  |

From my personal experiences, Vodafone Aus is quite a good and reliable carrier. Prepaid costs AUD 29.95 which includes AUD20.00 worth of call credits. Call costs are 1 cent per second for standard calls.
Some other alternatives are:
Optus prepaid
Communic8
Virgin mobile
I believe however, that Vodafone Aus no plans prepaid is the only carrier which allows GPRS on a prepaid plan. The costs are 2 cents per kilobyte with a minimum of 15kilobytes per connection.

For Optus prepaid, you will pay AUD29.95, receive 30.00 worth of call credits. For call costs, it will be 37cents per 30 second block or part thereof. There is also a 16.5 cent flagfall per call.
However, you will be able to call for 10 minutes to any mobile for 22cents between the hours of 7pm and 7am every night.
For Communic8, a subsidiary of Telstra Mobile, prepaid costs are more complicated.
For off-peak costs, the cost is 40cents per minute, plus 20c flagfall.
For peak costs, the cost is AUD1.00 per minute, plus 20c flagfall.
SMS is 25c
Note that you will have to change your mobile number as you will receive a new SIM card.
These costs are national and Australian network, overseas costs will obviously be more expensive.
Forgot to answer your other question, sorry
Vodafone will has no night rate plans, just the 1c per second anytime, peak or off peak, and no flagfall costs.
