Fingers crossed for you here, mate! :p

If you've got the DPD email though, apparently it's definately going to be there.
 
Out of curiosity, has anyone who got a pay monthly iPhone 4 from Orange got tethering enabled? It seems to be enabled by default for me...surely this isn't right?
 
Right, two Orange stores in Meadowhall so
I'm off on my lunch in a but to see what they have to say about my coverage issue.

Anyone know when the T-Mobile merger is going through? I'd imagine an improvement then.

Its taking place currently. Some of the masts are merged, some aren't.
 
Still waiting to see what tmobile offer with regards to the iphone4...still no word from them...pretty silly as they must be losing a lot of customers to other networks...

Aren't they merging with Orange though? Or have I read into the merger completely wrong? :o

Indeed, just like O2 will be throwing loads of new customers down the pan too :(

They are merging, but they are going to continue to operate as two independent companies on the high-street.

Oh I see, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I think I read somewhere that Orange was to be the 'premium' brand of the two, whereas T-Mobile were your 'everyday' type of brand. I'll try and dig out where I read that, but it might explain why T-Mobile are keeping quiet about their iPhones.

Edit: The boss of ‘Everything Everywhere’, Tom Alexander, confirmed the pecking order in the new group, when he explained that the Orange brand had a “premium element”, while T-Mobile had a “straightforward, value-orientated appeal”.

Thats the badger!

Good job you found a sauce, I was about to delete my post, just in case the info wasn't in the public domain!
 
Sooo has anyone managed to get a free bumper today? :D

I was going to try, but I think it'll definitely be a no now that an alledged fix is on the way. If it doesn't work though I'll be the first one on the phone to them ;)

That 'profit' has to cover an awful lot of costs, from the research and development of the product all the way through to the marketing of it as well as paying for every building (and it's associated costs (heat, electricity, water, rent etc etc) and supplier and staff member costs. Really, the list of costs just goes on and on and it annihilates profits very quickly.

True, but lets be totally honest here. Look at the conditions that these phones are made in(talking about foxcon or foxcom, whichever one it is). I'd just be taking a wild guess, but i still reckon an unhealthy amount of profit is made per iPhone. You are of course right when you talk about all the other small costs though.

Fix?

I tried at lunch and failed. The woman, who was american, suggested to buy the bumper and would not give it for free. I will try again but this time I'll be pushy and speak with a manager.

Yeh. I'm not sure how valid it is, but its mentioned here:

Apparently their support supervisors have also been told to stop giving out free bumpers because of this according to macrumours. How true that is i'm not sure.
