update 28/12/2013
according to the comments below,
Elizabth St store doesn't have stock any longer, you might want to ring your local store to check.

FYI:

  1. according to the SN of my device, it was produced in the 38th week of year 2011, which is not too bad. battery lasts 1day for me at normal use.

  2. I believe this phone is covered by 2 years' warranty from the purchase date (http://www.cultofmac.com/220083/apple-extends-australian-war…)

  3. For the ones who bought the same device, suggest you to backup SHSH first so that you can downgrade the firmware later if you want.
    I didn't backup SHSH, so now I can't downgrade from 6.13 back to 4.3.3(the original firmware came with the device)

on Tuesday, happened to see this deal on the counter in officeworks store on Elizabeth St store.
Bought one.
It's said to be locked to vodafone, but I unlocked it via below link for free:

https://unlock.vodafone.com.au/voila/handsetunlock/self-serv…

Brand New.Came with a Vodafone prepaid sim card(free).
Upgrade it to IOS 6.13 via itune.
8G storage space might not be enough for nowadays, but good price to have it as a backup phone.

Paid with ING card, so actual price was down to $94.05

When I bought it, they had a few stock left.
Had issue with my computer, just fixed it today, sorry for sharing it late,
but I would suggest you to ring them first to check if they have stock now.
(no url online, in store only i think)

      Are you the guy selling at Gumtree for $190 each?

        Sorry mate. I don't resell. I bought them as Christmas gifts. Family loved them. I bought them from different stores though.

    If this was 16gb, then it's a nice deal for kids or as spare phone. 8gb is too low

      Why do kids need a phone?

      • muncan on 29/12/2013 - 13:04

        To participate in bullying.

    How laggy is this phone compared to the iPhone 4S?

    Would be good if I could get this for my folks, they've been looking at the new iPhones and complaining about the price. This should easily be good enough for text, calls and the occasional e-mail!

    • Hirokuro on 09/01/2014 - 17:34

      Out of the box it won't be laggy. Just don't update the firmware in iTunes or via the phone itself.

        whats the max IOS which you can manually update it to and still get activation?

        I know Apple disables older activations gateways after a certain date so you cannot use older software.

        The hardware on it is pretty appaling even for a $99 phone. If you really want Apple IOS then get this, however if you don't care then get an Android for about the same price with better hardware.

        600 MHz ARM Cortex-A8
        256 MB RAM
        480×320 pixel resolution at 163 ppi
        3.2 MP with video (VGA at 30 fps)
