In actual fact, they have a 3.5G/HSPA network that has the largest coverage of any of the Australian carriers (goes by their marketing term of "Next G"). The only difference is that they operate on a different frequency (850Mhz) to the other operators (2100MHz). Hence, I would guess that a 3G iPhone would actually make sense with all operators, the only caveat being that it would need to support multi-band (850 and 2100).
