Optus has been selling the HTC Incredible S on contract since April, but if you’d prefer it as an outright option, Kmart has it for $299 this week. The case design isn’t to everyone’s taste, but it’s a possible choice if you want a recent Android phone running Gingerbread. [Kmart via OzBargain]

Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 9:45 AMIts labeled as the Optus Pre-paid… Which i think means Locked to Optus correct?
I would not call that outright as im guessing theres an unlock fee attached…

Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 9:51 AMWould being locked to Optus allow it’s use on the reseller networks? If so then it’s no biggie as the best value plan out there is probably the AmaySIM Unlimited, $40 thing. Most people who go SIM only probably use an Optus reseller like Virgin, AmaySIM etc. in any case.

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 1:30 PMIt’s an optus pre-paid product now so it would be locked to them and their group. You can also get them at optus stores
