Im not sure if a new iphone is the way foward once my contract is up in Dec. Seeing as the competition has cought up on core features (mainly what i use plus the odd app i wont miss), im not sure i can justify the price.

Still far behind on user-interface though. My brother-in-law works for Nokia now (he's worked for Motorola and S-E over the last few years) and even he still says that the front end of the iPhone is far superior to anything else. He works on designing phones and I've seen a few of the engineering samples from Motorola which never reached the market, quite interesting.

considering getting one on hols in america a 32gb is $699 roughly £440 at last check on conversion.

worth it or not? before i spend a shed load of money please advise? i already have a 16gb 1st gen ipod touch.

Personally I wouldnt risk it on something so high value, you'd have no warranty and would presumeably need to jailbreak it to put a non US sim.

I agree with Burned Alive, the simple fact that iPhones have no international warranty would be enough for me to not even consider buying one overseas.

Trying to update iPhone to 3.1 but get an error in iTunes saying backup failed. Had a quick look on the net but no joy. Anyone heard of this problem? I've re-install iTunes 9 again but same error.

If I bought a iPhone 3gs this week what OS version would it be on?

Phew, your lucky... updating to 3.1 will leave you with no jailbreak possible on a windows platform.

Stay with 3.0 its the only way to be safe

A certain online dvd (but now sell everything) retailer are selling the iPhone 3GS as sim-free/unlocked for £599.99 and £879.99. Is it no longer exclusive to O2 ?

They've been selling these for ages now. They are European stock where in some countries phones cannot be sold locked.

I got mine today. Wow it's way faster than the touch, all actions are lightning fast compared to the touch which feels sluggish in comparison

Who else got theirs from mobiles.co.uk using the Quidco cashback? Really cheesed off with mobiles.co.uk right now, first they mucked up getting the order out in time and now, when quidco tracked the cashback at only £40, not £60 they've come back to the query through claiming that an iPhone 3Gs contract wasn't taken out (when it most certainly was).

Anyone else managed to get the right amount tracked?
