iphone in NZ

Not really cheap, from the looks of it. Or maybe I'm used to comparing plans to those in the UK, Canada, and the US... But even so, I'm certain that the Aussie plans are more affordable as well. Hmm, I might think a little before buying the iphone.

$80 a month gives you: 120 anytime minutes, 250 MB of data, and 600 texts. You still have to pay $549 for the 8GB model and $699 for the 16GB model.

$130 a month gives you: 250 anytime minutes, 500 MB of data, and 600 texts. You still have to pay $449 for the 8GB model and $599 for the 16GB model.

$250 a month (which is just insane) gives you: 600 anytime minutes, 1 GB of data, and 600 texts. You still have to pay $199 for the 8GB and $349 for the 16GB.

Goddamn, but those plans cost quite a lot. At this rate I might not even get one, and just settle for a nice Nokia N95, or maybe one of the new mobile phones due to hit the market sometime. Sigh. If only I was living somewhere else.
