I was thinking of a quip but before I would do that I first must check back through every post to find what sensitivities I might ruffle

the "new" hot property is the Google phone which is apparently usurping the iPhone.

Brett, you have only scratched the surface! Mobile phone plans are the biggest can of worms ever dreamt up by the slick and slippery marketing types to hide the basic fact that all of the plans are a rip-off. So try not to over-analyse, just find a plan that looks suitable for your usage, a phone you like the colour of, plonk down your cash and forget about it.
ie. If you want a mobile, start with the assumption you are going to be ripped off and you won't be disappointed.

This is a great option is you already have a mobile phone and simply want to connect to Telstra.

The integrated true GPS, magnetic compass and motion sensors are a bonus too - great for navigation. I'm currently working on getting tasmap 1:25000 maps (and others) onto it - user supplies their own map images.

I am looking into getting an iPhone & using it on my present Telstra plan. I do some fishing (both sea & lakes), kayaking (touring down rivers & fishing) & am looking to use its GPS. What maps are presently available for Tasmania & how do you use the 1:25000 maps??
