EDIT// I've now read the thread in mobile phones and the iphone sticky here....//

Right.. I know this will probably get moved - but I'm asking this in the mac forum, as y'all know what you're talking about!

I was thinking - seeing as the 8gb iphone is down to £169 whether it might be worth picking one up.

My problem is my current o2 contract which already costs me £35 has until november to run....so any upgrade incentive wouldnt be due until september at the earliest...and its unlikely I'd even get one judging on other peoples experience...

I dont want to miss the iphone train and going on past experience i always end up getting something just after its hayday! (not that I'm saying the iphone is standing still..)

Should I buy one? Obv I'm gonna have to jailbreak it to use my current simcard...and I'll re-read the sticky for more info - but is it relatively simple to do?

Any info/advice gratefully received!

I'm pretty in the dark about the iphone!

Sorry to bump like a scumbag... but i've asked a few questions in mobile phones to clarify and got myself even more confused!

I'm currently on an o2 £35 a month jobby for 600 minutes and 1000 texts..

Obv I want to be able to use the iphone on t'internet... am I best to buy the bolt on... I'm just bearing in mind that 400mb is not really a lot for a month?? what d'ya reckon??

Cheers all! :)

Do you use all those minutes and texts? Maybe try and do a deal to drop them a bit to get free internet?

Where did you get 400mb from?

I think i saw it somewhere.. probably completely wrong!

I'll be in liverpool in about 15 mins so i'll be going straight to the shop!

Do you think its more or less? 'cos I just phoned cpw customer service and the bloke said it was 50gb for £7.50 :rolleyes: thinkin thats wrong!

A small thread hijack because I'm in the same situation and can't change my contract for another few months.

What happens if you buy an iPhone, jailbreak it to use with an existing SIM card, then something goes wrong down the line and you need to return it? Surely if you restore it with itunes it won't be activated again and the shop is going to know and therefore not replace it? And if it's taken in jailbroken they're going to notice that too.

I'm assuming any mucking around with the firmware will void warranty??

But then again - to be fair, before I knew that I could switch my contract thingy I was well up for jailbreaking and dealing with the consequences!

Might be worth waiting for the genius squad.... i think justin is on holiday but evh will probs have the answer :)

Hope it all works out... i'm just gutted 'cos i refuse to activate it until i get a case... so off to the apple store for me... :rolleyes:
 
Right - I know there's loads of threads about cases....but the one i've bought is pants... its cumbersome and looks like poo tbh...

So.. i've checked the iphone case thread and there seems to be thumbs up for the iskin revo.. and evh's custom one looks quite tidy - but I canny be hooped waiting 30days! (if i read that right!)

So...again I ask what's a good case? I like the revo - but are there any alternatives?

I've seen the incase slider case here which looks really good.. and you can take the bottom off for the dock etc...

So... thoughts people.... :)

Fanx!
