iPhone 4 16GB Deals Comparison in Australia

iPhone 4 newly from Apple store has just come out to order in Australia. Eager to unveil its powerful features like FaceTime video calling, I plan to invest in on this smart long-awaited gadget. The price tag from Apple online store is A$ 859.00 for 16GB and A$ 999.00 for 32GB. A little bit higher than my expectation, just like other apple products. Yet I’m still an Apple addict and plan to order the 16GB, and expect the arrived time after 3 weeks later as scheduled on Apple store.

As to the issue of signing up for service with the carrier of many choices, I took some time to make a careful investigation. As based on different wireless carriers, the fee may vary. And not all carriers make a contract with Apple Retail Store. The following is my experience:
