Gaswalla, sorry my bad I did see the "No US warranty" in the Amazon ad.

Jezz you guys are getting ripped off. I sell the Omnia 2 here in Australia for $845 outright which converts to $703 US. And gaswalla, what do you mean no warranty, the warranty is supplied by the manufacturer so your statement makes no sense!

Herbie555, you’re kidding right? Have you ever even looked at a coverage map for the SPOT device? I have used one extensively in Australia and last year took one hiking through the jungles of Cambodia and Northern Thailand where they said there was no coverage but still worked fine. It is never supposed to replace a PLB or the like but what happens if your driving across the Nullarbor Plain and you get a flat tyre or you take the tinnie out fishing and you run out of fuel or your motor dies, are you going to be happy for Emergency services to bill you for a rescue cause you really didn't need one!

I can believe your saying the LG 5500 is a good deal at $154 without contract. You can get the Nokia 2760 with VGA camera and Bluetooth without contract here in Australia for $79 which is about $63 US, jezz you guys are getting screwed on handset prices!

Why the hell would they put Zune support in cars coming to Australia when the Zune is not even sold here? Even if they did decide to release the Zune in Australia it would only be a case of Microsoft pushing shit up hill.

What the hell is "425"?????

That's all well and good but it doesn't change the fact the the iPhone is a piece of crap that would even have trouble as a door stop!!!

It's just a rebranded XP3!

We just got advised yesterday of the pricing here in Australia, $979 RRP. That's just under $650 US, I think someone is lining their pockets fairly well.

$199 on a three year contract, they can't be serious. Telstra, here in Australia were offering this handset pre-paid for $179 AU which is about $118.50 US. I knew Canadians were grabbing their ankles with 3 year contracts but this is ridiculous!
