Dear Optus, Telstra and Vodafone,

I know you all think you're being smart, and coy, by not releasing useful details on iPhone plan or handset pricing, despite the face we're only 6 days out. I'm sure you are all waiting till the other releases theirs. You want to ride the crest of popularity of the device, with not little distractions like people complaining about how much it costs on one network versus the others.

But there's a problem. People buying iPhones, by and large, aren't cretins. Some carriers have made references to this by comments about understanding the iPhone market segment want pay as you go and outright purchases of handsets. We will analyse your plans, far more than you'd like.

Delaying the release of the plans will only delay my purchase of the iPhone, not make me choose something that is more beneficial to you than it is to me.

Regards,
Alex.

I've been with Telstra for a few too many years now and found that it's the people that aren't already forking money over that get the better deals.
