iPhone 4 Front camera faulty
Finally got my iPhone 4 and lurv it. ( let me know if anyone wants to hug it).

iPhone 3G struggling on OS4
Apple appears to have acknowledged that there could be an issue with the 3G phone running OS4.
The phone runs extremely slow resulting in many apps not running.
It does appear to be due to memory and the only work arounds that have alleviated the issue is to first turn off the spotlight search and doing a hard reboot every few days.
There is some chatter that a fix is on the way.

Telstra home bundles
Be aware of the latest Telstra Home Bundles. Just found that your better off negotiating each service separately and getting them linked onto the one bill. Getting a similar service as I have today using the Home Bundles would have cost $50 extra per month.
If you do however like Bigpond they are offering 25GB for $49.95 per month which is a $30 saving per month....
