Thats pretty cool, but I wanna see some figures before getting this for the missus iTouch

RustyKaos · 16-08-2010, 09:46 PM

Interesting. But why not just get the iphone as they are cheap on the plans now? But cool nonetheless.

marcs_sp20 · 16-08-2010, 09:51 PM

Consider this:

8gb iTouch = $200
Apple Peel 520 = $70
prepaid sim = $2

= $272

SO, you come out having a cheap phone that you can freely recharge at your expense, seems to be a cheaper alternative to me

Only catch is that you have to jailbreak your iTouch, which aint hard anyways

consider this
16gb iphone4 on the optus $59 extreme cap is free
you pay about 500 more than the phone is worth over the 2 years but you get 26 times that in calls and unlimited sms and calls to optus

plus other stuff 2

best deal i found EVER

This looks pretty cool but rather dodgy, I'd wait a while for the software to get better before I got one.
Im going to keep my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 for a while yet as I flashed a custom windows mobile 6.5 ROM onto it, it is now like a new phone, much more responsive and way more fun to play with.
Its now got all the cool features from each of the different HTC phones.
