Ok why am I so afraid to jump in and buy an Iphone.
I use my N95 without fear

Because the iphone has been advertised as THE phone to make or break you. In that it is like a mini pc, with phone, it has all this stuff going on and can at a wrong touch of the button mess up the firmware, or just suddenly become a brick.

ok so far I have decided:

-buy a 16g from vodafone, ( want a new unscratched one that I can pick up and make sure is ok) and buying on TM they are going for about the same price as buying new at VF, go figure.
-I want to stay on my contract that I have, 2,best mates, 60 anytime mins, txt

so big question now is can this phone work on the $1 per day for 10mb work ..and will I be able to access the apps store with the $1 data. one sales person at vodafone said you can only access the apps store when using the data plan from vodafone.
(boy is there alot of different answers from the guys that work in the vf stores regarding the iphones and its use.)

as I said before I dont access a lot online when I am on the move, but I do want to access some emails, and maybe check out say TM or Geekzone once in a while. And doing this Not every day but some days.

so this is my last hurdle before buying

i would like to say thanks for all the help I get on here, its appreciated.
