The iPhone is a great phone for Uni students actually.
Manage multiple email accounts with ease, read documents, useful apps for alarms/notetaking/calenders, really good browsing via University wifi... aGPS so you don't get lost in the big smoke...
If you can afford $52 per month (iPhone 40 plan with 2 Bestmates) or $60 for an iPhone 40 + Vodafone Family, you'd be away laughing with a
16GB handset from $499/$699. Even better, if they decide to keep the 3GB extra data, you'll have tethering for your Mac or Netbook.

See that's just it. I can easily afford an even more expensive plan right now, but next year as a student I doubt I will be able to afford even a $30/month one, even with a part time job assuming I can find one. So a plan is sort of out of the question. Do you know anywhere that sells maybe an import 3GS for cheaper?

Oh man.... iPhone is tempting me aswell. Or maybe satio.... hmm.....
I need a decent prepay data plan first. 1GB for $20 sounds reasonable enough compared to what we have now.

Wow there's a NZ forum? I've been focused on the general SE forum and completely missed this!
Just ordered a SE C901, can't wait for it to arrive!

Welcome, where are you from?
@M-O
You could put some money aside now to help cover 24 x $40 payments ($960) or 24 x $60 ($1440) + the cost of the iPhone. Prepay really misses the point of the iPhone TBH because without a decent chunk of 3G data, you're better off with an iPod Touch.

Good point actually. I have been saving for a while now, and work just paid out a huge chunk of holiday pay because I signed a new contract. I'll wait til the end of the year before I buy anything and I'll see what kind of financial situation I'm in.

Welcome mate. I haven't had any experience with the C901 cause it is not a phone that has officially come out here, though importers seem to have stock. I have an older C902 which is a great phone, and the C901 only improves on the C902 (despite the naming suggesting the opposite). I've heard great things about the camera on the C901, some saying it's SE's best camera yet. So you're on to a winner I'd say.

Yea the camera and flash are top priority for me. Not a big fan of the larger touchscreen types, so this candybar should suit me well.
Importers haven't been stocking C901 that much, Expert Infotech had one in black, but i'm after a silver.
Will let you guys know how it is.
