If they keep inline with the $199US pricing here, I'm sold on one. Reading more on it, it seems apple acknowledge the high price held back adoption. With this new price point they can make massive inroads into the mobile phone market I think.
Besides the camera issue, everything else looks pretty top notch.

2mp camera is fine for a camera phone, you're not going to get much better real res out of a camera that tiny anyway.
Nice pricing, and it's ever so slightly lighter than the old one (and ever so slightly bigger). GPS included, very nice. Can't wait to grab one.
Shame about the lack of voice calling though, I may have actually used it, especially if you could use it with Skype.

Pricing is nice, but the contracts offered by Voda and Optus should be interesting, to say the least... aren't those two upgrading to 900mhz HSDPA, which isn't being offered in the iPhone?
I was hoping for more than 3G as an update. Still no MMS, and although I wouldn't use a front camera for video calls, I may have used it for video apps over Wifi, so that's a loss as well.

I predict lestat will get an iPhone only to sell it a few months later, then rebuy one a few months after thatlestat wrote:lol reading this blog has put me off the new iphone.

If that pricing carries over worldwide, this thing is going to change the mobile market. As a Telstra customer (with about 16 months left on my contract) I'm hoping that Apple will also sell the iPhone somewhere down the line. Failing that, could you buy an unlocked 3G one from the US and use it here without too many issues?

Looks like they are locking the 2.0 iPhone OS X right down. Apparently the phone will be carrier locked, but unlockable for a fee (it legally has to be here in Australia)
And it will have a outright purchase price... looking at about 500+. The $220 will be on a 2-year deal.

Activation is also now done at the carrier store, not at home, and Apple aren't selling them online, just at the stores (first one opens in Sydney next month). I think that it's going to get harder to get an unlocked phone.
My guess? $200. On a $69 cap plan for 24 months. Not including data.
