And the iphone 4 has a higher resolution screen

And the Galaxy S has a Super AMOLED screen.

This game is fun.

Anyone know if Carphone warehouse will offer an upgrade to customers who are already in a contract with a 3gs phone?

If you pay out your remaining contract.

E.g. 6 months remaining on a £35/month tariff = £210

And you totally missed the point of my statement

Glad i switched to 02 Simplicity a few months ago. Can just walk into the Apple store and buy the White 32GB iPhone 4 Yummy. Probably going to be about £550 but if you think on an 02 Contract they will be offering;

24 Month Contract, £35 Month, £150 Outlay for the iPhone. So that's an overall cost of;

Nearly £1,000.....Yikes.

So instead, i will be paying £20 per month for the same but better iPhone Contract i had....saving nearly £500. Bargain? No?

no because you'll be paying £550 for a phone and then £20 a month on contract. After the same 24 months you'll have paid... over a grand.

Its swings and roundabouts, less money on contract, more on phone .... less on phone, more on contract.

Over the 24 month period you still pay roughly the same ammount.

A few people on here seem to think it doesn't have a flash. But it does, right?

Not really you were saying that it is not only iPhone customers that would upgrade over something as trivial as screen size or resolution.

I was just playing the my screen is better than your screen game, lighten up.

..but you're forgetting the main point of buying PAYG:

Not being tied in when it comes to upgrade time, June 2011

They mean Flash as in Adobe Flash not a camera flash (which it does have).

He would say that wouldn't he.

Sorry if this has been asked but is the biggest iPhone 4 still 32gb?

If it is then I see no point upgrading, I'll just await the new OS

 

[Robbo]

A bit like desire owners that would order an evo if it was available then?

I would have got one OVER my Desire, although I didn't realise the screen wasn't OLED, so I would have to try one first

 

[Scottland]

Yeah, 16gb and 32gb only.

I was checking the site for someone the other day, and it seems they've changed the tariffs for iPhone simplicity. They do a cheaper £15/month tariff which I'm considering.

That's in a 12 month contract though? I'm sticking with my 1 month rolling contract. I would go for the 12 month one for £15/month but its 300 minutes, I currently get 600 for £20/month 1 month rolling contract!

 

[nichorob]

Going to send my 32GB 3GS off to o2recycle, £290 with the promo code, thanks for that.

Yeah, I'm on the same £20 contract as you.. but I thought it was worth pointing out as it's cheaper and only 12 months.

Quick question guys - just had my launch day iPhone 3GS inspected and they noticed a stress crack between the headphone socket and the chrome - is this something Apple will replace without fuss? It's only small and not really noticeable (always been in a CapsuleNeo) but has affected it's resell value...

You're on iPhone Simplicity £20 yeah? From a iPhone 3G contract (£35?) that ran its full 18months.



I got my iPhone 3G (16GB) at launch, on the £35p/m 18month contract.

When the iPhone 3GS came out, I bought one (32GB) as a pay-as-you-go handset and put my 3G contract SIM in it, and flogged the 3G handset.

When my 18 months were over, in December 2009, I had my contract changed to iPhone Simplicty £20 - for those that don't know it, it's a rolling 1-month contract at £20p/m for exactly the same as the iPhone £35p/m contract but with extra texts (though I can’t remember the number).


For iPhone 4 I'm not sure what to do.

My current idea is to sell my 3GS handset, buy iPhone 4 as a pay-as-you-go handset and then either have O2 transfer my Simplicity 20 contract over to a microsim (will they do this?), or to cut up my current SIM to fit (I did this with another SIM for my iPad as no microsims were available here when I got it!).

Unless they do a contract that works out better....
