That to me sounds like you MUST have Leopard installed to install Snow Leopard (for the $29 price). No No No No No No No No No No No No!

You think? Surely the SL DVD will have the usual ability to do a clean install on a blank hard drive.
 
If they don't let 3G owners you bought on release last year do an early upgrade then a huge number of people are just going to not bother with the 3GS. I bought in July last year, so my 18month contract is up in January, so if i can't escape the contract early or upgrade, then i might as well wait for the 4th iPhone!

Those tethering prices are ridiculous as well... do o2 really expect to keep the exclusivity!?

No early upgrades tho. :(

O2 will lose a contract customer when my contract runs out because of this - I have a work Blackberry anyway and use my iPhone for data more than calls/texts really. Will buy one on PAYG and take advantage of the 12 months free data I think. If they offered an early upgrade I'd probably just upgrade it and tie myself in for another 18 months.

Oh well!

Well, on twitter, O2 are saying no early upgrades. Well you can, but you have to pay the remaining contract and then get another contract. :o

Seems crazy to me that. The thing is, i'd have thought it would be in 02's interest to extend the current 3g owners contracts as Apple will look to open up the iPhone to more UK vendors.

Cant believe they are making you pay out your contract :mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
To be fair paying out your existing contract for any early upgrade is pretty standard fare, not sure why people assume the iPhone would be different.

The O2 tethering prices are kinda ridiculous though.
 
They don't use any. Well, it's fully internal flash.

Ahh :( thnx.. kinda explains why the 32gig version costs 150 more, they must be making obscene amounts of profit from those, since 32g flash only costs around £30..

How fast does the original 3g transfer data at, in a docking station if copying files across to the device ?
Without SD cards etc, waiting 1/2hr ? or similar to move across a new selection of music/vids etc just seams really rubbish to me. have I missed a step ?
 
That would mean O2 are doing it differently to AT&T then? And different to how they did the iPhone 3G when users were upgrading from the original?


Existing iPhone 3G owners will have to pay approximately $200 over subsidized pricing to upgrade:

For those with 6 months contract left looks like about £390 to buy out your contract and purchase the 3Gs.

Haven't really had an opinion till now, ridiculous...
Probably let the contract end and wait for the next one as this one isn't all that special... rather than to wait.. extend contract and have exactly the same thing happen next release...

I wont bother with the GS if they don't give any incentive to upgrade tbh.
