iPhone + airplane mode turned on = ipod

Yeah I don't get it? It still works without a signal and will still work like a normal phone if 3G isn't available. It will also still continue to roam to other networks for normal mobile signal OS if you have had that enabled on your service. It's just the data is expensive OS.

I'm frequently outside of normal city phone coverage but as long as there is Telstra coverage I'm fine since my phone will switch to Telstra when I lose the 3 network.

I was never an Apple fan boy but it is seriously a good product, have you played with one?

Yeah! Often, among other things I'm an IT journalist for APC but I could never work out how to record an interview or notes and answer the phone at the same time. Also not helpful for journos where phones are banned from sensitive interviews, which is often.

Ok fair enough, we'll call the Apple hoard off from beating you into submission then
