i really want the blackberry bold but... 42mbs iPhone:| ?

i need to be on optus, and if there is a 3G iphone by june on optus... it's pretty tempting even without the keyboard. The BB Bold isnt out here till August (said AFR), altho Im going to look into shipping one over (or maybe not if theyre not out in US yet unless u r John Mayer) ... or maybe they will be out early, better not be NextG exclusive. According to the current.com.au crew, via GizmodoAU : "A spokesperson at the Optus stand at CeBIT gave the potential (June) date when asked yesterday, and estimated the price tag would likely be “around $700 or so”."

Telstra exec quote on NextG meets iPhone which is pretty tantalising I must say having seen @frankarr + @davewhittle have Treo750's fly on nextg so u can stream video/audio etc which u could never do on a gprs blackberry (too slow/no java etc) : "Australia will have the fastest Apple 3G iPhone in the world a senior executive of Telstra has told ChannelNews. "We know what is coming we have seen the new device and it will be available on our network as soon as it is launched in the USA. By Xmas this phone will be capable of 42mbs which will make it faster than a lot of broadband offerings and the fastest iPhone on any network in the world."
