*** The iPhone 3G Thread ***

Thanks for the responses!

In the end I went to the store - saw the crowds, thought, "Nah - can't be bothered to queue and find the 16Gb ones are sold out" and went and got brekky.

Nom Nom Nom.
 
Just got back from town!

So glad i didn't get up this morning. There was a total of 8 iPhones in the whole of Truro today. 3x16 and 5x8.

And you won't believe this, the proper O2 shop was shut for refurbishment!!!! :eek: They lost out there!

Got a "pre-order" from CPWH and he said i would be likely to get a 16GB by next week, he did say if i wanted an 8GB i would get it tomorrow. Interestingly the dude said there was a total of 1000 iPhones for the whole of England! If that's true, i don't know.
 
I was told today I have to do it within 28 days of my contract starting. I just need to get my pac code from Tmobile now (Any idea how easy this is?).. It's a number that's nion a decade old topped up last in March 2007 and another tenner about a week ago :D I'm sure they'll be glad to see the back of me. My rusty trusty Nokia 7210 won't though :(
 
Is there anyway of not activating the contract and unlocking it like before with the old iphones?

So you can just buy the handset and unlock it and not pay the contract?

It wasn't fully charged. I'd imagine that indicator is slightly logarithmic - it'll display 'full' for something like 60%+, then drop. It's also going to have the correct voltage despite having sod all capacity. It'll be better after a full charge, but you can charge it when you like.

The LCD and WiFi are two of the biggest drains on it. Don't expect the battery to last more than a few hours if you're, say, watching a video on iPlayer.

Ah right okay, I was rinsing it I suppose - using the GPS, LCD turned up fairly bright, music and wifi :D

tuaw is reporting that activation hasn't gone very well in the retail stores 'because O2, that's the UK wireless company that has the iPhone, uses an activation system that only works with IE. Apple had to install Fusion on the Macs in the UK Apple Stores in order to activate iPhones on the spot, and it seems that the system isn't working as smoothly as many would like'

O2 are not very good at this are they.

U can't get the phone without signing the contract ATM.

PAYG is coming towards Christmas though.

O2 only use XP in their shops, it should be up to Apple to test that they could connect to the O2 platform before the day of release surely?

thats the same as the V1, something weird about how if you set your region format to UK it assumes you only want 24hr.

I've got mine set to New Zealand and the 12hr option comes back :)

That's madness? Why would they assume we don;t want 12 hour, and thats besides the point, its an option... if you don;t want 12 hour then you have 24? Really do not understand that, I hate 24 hour clock!

I may have to set my to NZ or US too!
 
Right, now I just need a web browser with some actual plugins, Msn, and VLC. It's surprisingly limiting in it's standard guise. Unless i'm missing some hidden menus or something.
