Optus Post-Paid Handset Repayment Price Drops Effective Fri 6/5/11

Phone Leakz on 04/05/2011 - 12:52

Welcome to another edition of Phone Leakz

First off… anyone still keen on an iPhone 4 on Optus?
On Friday (6/5/11) the handset repayment on the 16gb iPhone 4 will be reduced from the current $8 extra per month on the $59 Optus Cap to $0.
THATS RIGHT, NO EXTRA HANDSET REPAYMENT!
This matches the intial aggressive pricing Optus had when the iPhone 4 came out. if your still keen for an iPhone hold out for a few days more…

In other news, 2 other price drops on Friday:

Nokia N8 $0 repayment on the $29 Optus Cap
Samsung Galaxy S $0 repayment on the $29 Optus Cap

And in non-leak related news, anyone keen on Android and HTC should check out the HTC Incredible S. Just started this month on Optus and is $0 extra on the $49 Optus Cap. I had a good go of one yesterday and really liked it, takes a good pic with the 8MP camera and dual flash and is running Android 2.3 with HTC Sence.

Until next time…

    HTC Incredible is free on the $39 Cap with Virgin..
    BUT be warned that the Bootloader is locked and currently not cracked so you're currently unable to flash community ROMs.

    Galaxy S Free on $29 Cap is amazing value!

          Actually jasecs, that's some pretty good thinking, thanks!

          With the 3 months free for buying online, that makes the difference over 24 months just $123! Very tempting indeed!!!

          What is Virgin like as a telco?
