Hi Richard,
No ploy at all

. Having said that I may end up being the biggest hyprocrite on the forum. Yes, I am now seriously considering in purchasing one in the weeks to come. The resistence is getting to much to bear

.
All you good folk out there (only cause I'm a bit lazy) are some newbie questions on the phone on how best to go about it:
1. I want to get one outright. Prefer no plans, but if so, what is the
absolute cheapest option available - based on the criteria below.
2. Can I use my existing sim (Telstra 3G) and stick it in (work pays for
my phone bills).
3. I don't really plan to use the internet features (ie, surf the web etc)
I really want it for the apps, listening to music, etc. and as a phone in general. Depending on the apps, I guess some need internet connectivity.
4. Are the prices the same in most places or do they vary?
5. 16gig or 32gig - what should I expect to pay?
6. Wifi - so does that mean I can sit in Maccas and surf the web for free or hook it into my home network?
7. I really just want the astronomy apps - do they need internet connection to work.
Any feedback appreciated. I'm embarassed to ask these, considering I'm in IT
Cheers, Norm
