Is it going to be incredibly hard to get one of these at launch? Or do you think stock levels will be good?

True is, no one knows.

Given they're launching in 22 countries next week they will probably have the same amount of supplies as last time. That is unless they've had the design finalised for a while and have used the last months to create a backlog.

I'd ring your local 02 store next week (day before launch) to see what the situation is like.
 
I've been considering the following because I'm not out of contract until March.

Buy one on PAYG, transfer my current SIM to the new phone, take the ZAGG off of my 3G as it's in mint condition under that, put it back in the box and sell it. I'll be left with a PAYG SIM with effectively a years free iPhone internet access on it which has got to be worth something.

The only problem with that is finding the cash to buy the PAYG device.

On the upside, I'll be well out of contract by the time the next iPhone is announced in a years time!

It seems the best plan to be honest.

Also, you could always just stay on contract and keep getting the PAYG handsets.. unless you really want to re-sign a 18 month deal and be in the same situation for iPhone 5

Feek,

The Zagg - I assume this is an InvisibleShield? I am considering getting one of these, is it easy to fit?

Edit: just seen the video from the Zag page, looks impressive, however some other reviews don't really rate it, how do you find it?

Apologies if I've missed the post. But the new 3.0 firmware on the now old 3G phone, will it include that voice recognition feature? Not a big deal, but should be a good laugh..

I bought direct from Zagg, it's very good. The back part was very difficult to put on but I took it off when I bought a proper case for it because it increased the size of the iPhone by just too much for my very snug fitting case.

Yup ive had mine for a month and having played with iphones both the 2G and 3G id say its definitely an iphone alternative. The touchscreen is as responsive as the iphone which is a good thing...plus you have the added benefit of a removeable battery;).

Id love to get an iphone purely for media purposes but geez some of those prices are just stupidly high...O2 need to get their act in order and same with Apple...its stupid money to be tied into a 24mth contract at £70 just for the 32gb version:eek:

Anyone considering the contract route? Be interested to understand your decision if you are?
Click to expand...

i am, but thats probs cos i haven't done my research properly...

i'm planning on going for the 32gb iphone, 24 month contract @ ~£35 pm. the only kicker really is the £175 up front... i am however justifying this because i have a 32gb itouch to sell so it shouldn't hurt too much plus i am free to quit my current contract which i'm already paying ~£35 pm for anyway. so basically, i won't be paying too much for the phone and i'll be roughly paying the same amount per month on contract

think just going for the contract is the easiest and best option for me, though if theres any cheaper (or better) options, that would be great too :D
 
I think most people are taking the non-18m contract route to allow them the flexibility to move to the next iPhone whenever that might be...

Anyone ever thought that the PAYG sim you get could be upgraded to Simplicity? Im slightly annoyed that Ill effectively be paying for 12m of Web/Wifi and then literally throwing it away and then 'paying' just for Web access via Simplicity. I cant see why you cant be entitled to say pay Simplicity pricing but keep the 12m Web/Wifi...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Im going to get iphone 3gs 32gb on the £44.05 tariff, with my discount applied it would come down to £30.94 so will get the phone for £175 minus the £100 for selling my old phone which then brings it down to £75 :D

Look at the prices the yanks have to pay.

In the Palm Pre review I was reading yesterday, the cheapest contract they could get it on, was $4000 over 24 months, the most expensive.........$7000.

Anyone know if you will be able to buy the iPhone 3G from the apple store (Online) when it comes to the 19th June?

Considering there's already a placeholder for the Buy button, yes ;)

Expect it to ship on the 19th, for delivery on the 20th though.
