Last question, there is mention that you can log onto hotspots thoughout the UK, is that the primary way of connecting to the internet?? or is it via satellite

Well I got mine yesterday and I absolutely love the thing. Not using it as my main phone just yet as I'm waiting for my old number to be transferred but can't help but keep it on me at all times to play with.
The App store is tremendous....another piece of kit by Apple that just simply works, and so easily! The best app by far - Saber Phone - the ability to turn your iPhone into a real working lightsaber. Pointless yet utterly cool! :cool:
Tom Tom app set to ship within 2 weeks - NICE :yes nod:
I think by that it means unlimited web surfing through Wi-Fi - a sort of draw in for people who don't really understand the difference between accessing the internet via 3G and Wi-Fi. But I could be wrong....we'll see when the first bill comes in!!Quote:

I'm on the £35 a month package and never once been charged more than that and surf using 3g and previous on the 1st generation.
from reading the stuff on-line it states web browsing (data and wifi) so that would include GPRS/3G or WiFi.....
From o2's website...........
All tariffs include unlimited browsing on your iPhone, unlimited Wi-Fi access, visual voicemail and reduced roaming rates with our International Traveller Service and are subject to a minimum term contract of 18 months.
I think it'll take the cheapest option available to it, so if someone's wi-fi is switched on nearby it'll connect to that :eek: but if protected it'll switch to 3g automatically, at least that's the way i read it :computer:
Anyway, none in stock online :frown:
Well Fi, you've had your longer than me so you'll know best! :yes nod: I'm on the £35 contract to so that awesome news!! This thing gets better and better! :DQuote:

Anyone without an iphone :eyes up: are nuts.
Simple things like if you forget your glasses just drag the screen bigger and I can use the phone.:thumbs up:

I'm upgrading my old iphone (that I just gave to Allan) cause he now wants the same as me the 3g one.
:ragin::ragin:
I may just have to visit the O2 in Aberdeen when i get home then, all i wanna know at the moment is if i can upgrade before my contract is due for renewal in December, missed the call centre by 6 minutes :computer:
And if so, how much is it gonna cost.
What's the bolt on that you have to purchase as well?
mobile me.??Quote:

Have your purchased this Fi or are you just using the Free Trial?Quote:

I take it you're all still texting using a full qwerty keyboard?
Lots of positive reviews though. Maybe I should pop into an o2 store and have a play with one. On Orange though, so will need to buy sim free from somewhere.

Not sure, according to the site it costs £8.51 per month, but, included in the tarrif so it's hidden :rolleyes:Quote:

this is going to be my new phone when my contract runs out on Vodafone. (around end Sept) Their service and coverage recently in my area has been rubbish. :argh:
also not being able to browse the web and check my email at work is a realy pita and I don't fancy browsing on a wee screen. ;)
Looking forward to it now...
tbh Andy I don't see what your problem is with the keyboard.Quote:

I would have thought with the amount of time you seem to spend on the computer during the day/evening it would be second nature to you.:laugh::laugh::p:p
Don't let it stop you from getting what is simply the best phone/application gadget out there. It's a must have even my Allan thinks the same:argh::argh:
maybe your a one finger man:laugh::laugh:
I've never actually thought about it before, but I wonder who can do the most key strokes on here. H'mm maybe a wee test needs to be done.:D:D
It's not just a phobia Fi, it's a tried, tested and failed process for me. I had a phone which had a qwerty keyboard and it just didn't work for me. My fingers were just too fat. I bite my nails so I don't even have pointy fingernails to use.Quote:

It is strange though, as I do work with a PC most days in work and loads at home, and I am very comfortable with a qwerty keyboard there.:computer::thumbs up:
A.:D
I probably am, when it comes to texting. Actually a one handed guy when it comes to texting as most of my texts are done one handed - while I spoon food into my mouth with the other.:eek::moonie::DQuote:

Well, it turns out i am eligible for an iPhone upgrade now, sadly they dont have any in stock, but, allegedly there are some in the O2 shop in Aberdeen, shame i'm in Baku :argh:
What, CarphoneWarehouse hasn't made it to Baku? :D
