Ask iPhonewzealand: How do all the various iPhone models compare for use in New Zealand? (Updated)
This is an update to a post we made back in February. Every day we receive lots of emails from people who have bought either a new iPhone 4 or 3GS, or have bought an original iPhone or 3G via Trademe or eBay, and they are confused as to which networks they can use it on, whether it’s unlocked, or whether it can do this-or-that. We’re not surprised, it’s certainly not easy trying to get your head around it all, particularly if you’ve only just started looking and are trying to size the lay of the land. To help you understand the differences between each of the four models, how they work with each of the main three networks here in New Zealand and to help you pick the phone that’s right for you, we’ve updated our comparison guide. Read on to view the guide on-screen or to download a printable PDF.…

XT *Still* Faster in More Dunedin Places for iPhone 3G (March 2010 Update)
iPhonewzealand and Geekzone user Ahmad has repeated his speed tests he did last year in Dunedin using the iPhone on XT and Vodafone.
Data speeds on the iPhone, between Vodafone and XT, are a much discussed topic. There are many different sides of the story and many different reasons behind the results of speed tests. I would suggest that everyone take from this just a view to Ahmad’s experience at the given time in the given location. Some of you may have different experiences and speeds so it would be good to hear your thoughts.
Personally for me the XT speeds, where I use my iPhone, are much faster than that of Vodafone but that is not to say that other areas where you may use it won’t be different.…

Prepay Comparison Table
In the interests of easier comparison of New Zealand’s now three mobile networks, iPhonewzealand user Ahmad has created a table which should allow deciphering of the mobile plans to be easier than the Da Vinci code. The table covers prepaid plans only, which is 2degrees’s main focus at launch, and heavier users of mobile phone may be able to find a better deal going on account.…
