Nope, no MMS... No surprise there though. But, for the scratching issue, the entire back is made of that really hard plastic.

hmm I read that. But it'll lose the bling factor. :(

Yeah, but you why would you care about the bling factor. You wouldn't even use it for fear of scratching it. I reckon it will be way better. I'm getting one. I hope Telstra announces they're carrying it!!

I don't know if they're allowing that yet. I hope so. I have a Telstra plan already, so I'm hoping I can just change handsets.

Why won't they? There'll be people selling handsets in no time.

Plus - if you're already on Telstra - you can change phones, the phone belongs to you, anyway...

Mkay, given OCAU was no use, does anyone on here have a set of ebay triggers they dont want anymore/dont use? Looking for a V2s set or the 16 channel ones?

Oh and photo taxes...

@%$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPS are OFFICIALLY the WORST delivery company in the world!!

This is the second time they have stuffed a delivery to me!! That makes a grand total of 0 successful out of 2.... not great confidence... After last time i left the gate half open and everything and they still stuffed it up... They didnt even leave a card this time. My lord...

Well now I have to travel out the other side of town again at 5 to pick it up in peak-hour. oh how lovely...

Yeah, I know. But in the US the $199 is just the cost to get the phone, you have to be on a plan to be able to use it. I guess it will be different here, cause they can't restrict it to one carrier.

From the tracking it looks like it never got on the truck.

Cheers, I did with the first one, but not with the second. Both times the camera was sitting on a rock with me putting some downwards pressure on it to keep it from moving. The first one was something like 20 seconds and the second might have been 2.5

Nah just spoke to them and they said the driver tried to deliver this morning and he's got it on the truck. Well atleast I've confirmed where it is

Looks interesting... A few threads on them already. Glad to see the 430EX take on the 580EX II locking foot, hate screw locks. Wonder if its sealed like the 580?
