Have settled on the HTC Aria ... I would have chosen the HTC Desire myself but I've given up long ago trying to understand women.

Vodafone are doing a great job pissing off their customers and this may cost them a packet if successful, not withstanding the dubious ethics of the legal firm in inciting the class action.

is there a reason you don't want an iPhone? if it's just because "every tom, dick and harry has one", then you're just like i was 12 months ago. let me tell you, there's a reason every tom, dick and harry has one.........COZ THEY'RE AWESOME!!!!

october 09 i was due for an upgrade, so went with the Nokia N97, because it seemed to have all the features knows, and i didnt wanna be a sheep and just get an iPhone. and boy, did i regret it!

after a heap of trouble with optus, i eventually won out and scored a free upgrade, coz the N97 was just a rubbish phone that barely worked, so i went with a new iPhone 4, and really wish i just got an iPhone when i had the chance to over a year ago.

I'm looking at replacing my current Nokia with a new phone as my contract is nearly up..

Planning on going with Vodafone again, specifically an "infinite" contract.

One option is a Blackberry 9780, anyone had a Blackberry before? Another is HTC Cha Cha, which looks great, but the size of the screen is a negative.

I'm a bit restricted, because I don't want a touchscreen, only want a keypad.

HTC Desire for me, has flash (iphone doesnt) can do more than one thing at a time (iphone cant) dont need itunes (iphone is restricted to itunes)

Exactly - X2

Ugh why vodafone? Guess coverage isn't a selling point for you.

I had no problems converting any music files to itunes format, and playing on my phone...

Yeah coverage can be bad but they are cheaper and l like idea of $45 infinite. Telstra way too expensive, admittedly I havent looked at Optus very closely.

I'm thinking of converting existing mob to prepaid Telstra where credit lasts for 6 months, as a back up option.

I don't think that's the issue mate, other phones you just drag and drop with no conversion or time spent doing it.
I had an Iphone for 2 years and am not missing it one bit.

Telstra aren't that expensive anymore. $49 for $400 worth of calls and 2GB of data for me.

If you're looking for a cheap prepaid plan, might be worth checking out Virgin's bean counter ... Granted the Optus network isn't in the same class as Telstra, but that plan is bloody good value.

I have my missus and belligerent teenager on it.

Westy;
That's pretty damn good.

It's an old plan, current one is $49 for $450 and 1GB.

I got an extra 1GB due to a promotion.

[Dissident]

Still comparable - I wouldn't have thought it was anywhere near that competitive

Im on a $49 plan with Telstra and I get $450 + 1Gig. Never seem to go over so it works for me!

[Psyber]

My mobile bill last month was $1.87. That was for about 6 calls.
And I'm well in front because I got a $20 credit for referring a friend a while ago.

That does look reasonable I agree. One of the other things that swayed me away from Telstra was that they didn't have the type of handset I was after. I prefer Nokias with a key pad (i didn't want a touch screen), and when I went into the local Telstra shop the other day they had barely any handsets available compared to what Vodafone had.

Anyway, I only signed up for a 12 month 45 infinite with Vodafone, so I'll re-assess it in another year.
