So someone tell me what I need to do..
I'm an existing o2 customer, out of contract so ready to upgrade etc.

I walk into o2/Apple and buy phone for £269? Then what?
Do I need to change tarriff? Do I just carry on?
 
You carry the iPhone home and sort it out in iTunes.

There will be an option for existing customers :)

Apple iPhone: Liveblog : Those crazy people at TUAW are already queuing outside Regents Street!
 
Hope they enjoy the temperatures that tonight will bring. Queing for something that will be in stock everywhere later in the week should be punishable by lobotomy.
 
It's all about the experience. :)

At one of the San Fran stores people were coming out jumping with joy and the rest still outside were congratulating them. :o
 
I wouldn't like to be there right now.. imagine the chill, nevermind the humility.

I'm estimating the stores will have a good 50 or so handsets, with the flagship getting close to 100-150 possibly even 200.

You could easily walk in Saturday and get one.

I fail to see how queing outside on a camp chair and then being congratulated by a herd of neckbeards for buying something is an experience I'd want to be a part of. Whatever does it for you I guess.

Haha, nor me, but that's America for you. :p

If you're out of contract it behaves much like anyone else - you can buy the phone for £269. You then need to activate in iTunes. As an existing customer you will be able to log into your O2 account, and you'll then need to sign up to an 18 month contract on one of the iPhone plans (minimum £35 a month). You can't just put your O2 Sim card in and use the phone.

Interestingly, anyone on O2 who was on O2 before the middle of September this year - even if they still in the minimum period on their contract - can buy the phone for £269, start a new 18 month contract from now, and they won't have to pay anything extra for the old contract. People who took out a contract and got a good free phone in August or the beginning of September are the only people who get a good deal on the iPhone.
 
They're taunting me now. :(





Oh, and I've not had a chance to say this yes, but, how damn cheesy is the o2 plug in the release time? :o
 
The whole "Cult of Mac" really scares me, and I mean really. It really is a cult, and it makes about as much sense as Waco did. I really can't understand or rationalise being so blindly obsessed with any commercial organisation. Queueing up for something that's going to be available nationwide anyway, talking about "the experience" of buying a ****ing phone, etc.

Ugh.

Some people are equally fanatical about the PS3, XBox 360 etc, but I understand what you're saying.

iPod Touch 1.1.2 firmware already hacked ;)

Aye same, I have no use for an 8Gb device marketed as "The best iPod ever made".

16Gb was cutting it fine tbh. :o

Can I walk into a Carphone Warehouse and take the phone home with me without signing up to any contract in-store?

Yes.

And for anyone that has/had one, how does the snycing work ? Does it just try to sync everything on itunes on ? I guess you have to do it manually.

Manually, yes, if you so happen to have a mac you can sync Safari bookmarks, iCal and contacts stuff along with something else. :o

Music, just create a playlist and tick the box in the sync options for that playlist.
