my mrs was due an upgrade and happy with her HTC Hero (don't laugh)

haggled with o2 for a slight discount

£27 per month 500mins/500mb unlimited text. but my wife is paying that anyway so, i just owe her £149 (should have been £29) they dont haggle well at o2 anymore - still a saving £48

is 4.0 the same kb as 2.3?

Start beaming, and I want videos of it too!

I will try and make a couple videos tomorrow, we already tried it out, works really well. Anything in particular you want to see?

Honeycomb apps work ok, not the best looking, but amazing that they merged 2 versions into 1 and works really well.

Nope, accuracy has been improved maybe some other stuff too can't remember.

Sharing media, web pages and contacts.

Maybe also try to share a game whilst playing.

don't rub his mistake in, let him resolve it

I could just put my giffgaff sim into the nexus if I took that O2 offer couldn't I?

I was heavily pondering over the two, but the price difference over a 24 month contract was only £20 less for the iPhone 4S.

This comparison made me choose the Galaxy Nexus:

Wait ... what .... Do those giffgaff sims have unlimited tethering too with no data caps???

Yes, I want the latest tech.

That's debatable in some cases and there is a lot more to it than that, but fair enough. It just seems a bit dodgy to base the decision on that 'article'

But with this deal, once you factor in the £10 p/m GiffGaff Goodie bag for 24months it brings the total cost to £695 ?
Is it not better to purchase the phone sim free?? Or am I missing something!

4S is a bit redundant without a j/b at the minute and to be honest, a little underwhelming!
Might go back to it when an untethered j/b is released

i think its more aimed at people mid contract who would be buying the phone outright for £529, thats how i saw it, if you need a new sim/contract then maybe not so 'hot'

its a way of getting the phone for £465 and spreading the cost i guess

 

[PlumpMonkey]

Just ordered an upgrade from O2 online. Does this have a micro sim? I currently have a full sized one...

The only thing I don't like is those crappy dock icons
Someone tell me you can customise those....?!

 

[bhavv]

Is the giffgaff sim completely unlimited tethering and downloads or not? I must know as I might cancel my 3 order and get that if it works out cheaper.
