New phone plan + new phone

Finally subscribed a phone plan (3) 2 days ago after a long decision-making process. Was using Optus prepaid but the phone call charge rate is very high, and I've topped up around $90 in 3 weeks! Before this I was planning to get iphone 3G or 4 at $69 x 12 months. I thought it's quite expensive and not worth to get it, so I decided to choose a cheap phone plan priority goes to phone call credit and features.
Lucky me, I got the LG Optimus GT540f for $29 x 12 months! I won't be able to get this phone if I subscribed early as it's just released one week ago.. and I'm really happy with it, well it's the best one and 'love at first sight' among other phone options on the same $29 phone plan (that's one of the reasons why I need to take time to consider which phone plan to subscribe.. because I don't like the other phones!).

Anyway, $29 per month gives you $180 of credit to call and sms (national or international). I've added additional $4 for 500mb internet data.

Positive things: this phone is light; smaller and more handy than iphone; clear screen; touchscreen; nice phone features; easy to use; good applications - Android; reasonable speed of internet; support MP4 and wmv videos; support various music files; and reasonable good sound quality.

Sort-of negative things: camera at the back (not able to do face-to-face video conference); sometimes lagging; no torchlight; 3mp camera quality & poor image quality; limited options on Music/media Player; lesser options on application compares to iphone.

In conclusion: "Positive things" win.
