Hi Fi been looking around Edinburgh today as i fancied upgrading my i phone to the new 3g one and have eventualy been told they are sold out nationwide - also tryed online - same story, o2 say there may be a batch next week but wont take pre orders, they are saying the hope to meet demand by the end of the summer :eek: may just stick with my old one as really cant be @rs*d queing for a bl**dy phone :frown:
the upgrade offer going from 1st generation iphone to 3g iphone is on until October so I've plenty of time to get one:thumbs up: but I want it NOW:argh::argh:
Iv got one... tis very nice :p
Try carphone warehouse. I went in at about 11am on Friday and they were soldout in store but they had just had another 1500 in at the warehouse. I was able to order it for delivery Monday morning. This was also for an upgrade from first gen.
yeh but contract is with 02 and not (carphonewarehose 02) they are different are they not.:confused:Quote:

Fi, when you do get your new phone could you have a look and see if you are able to make the text input pad into a standard phone looking one. So it's got abc def ghi jkl etc., instead of the full qwerty keyboard.
Baz, if you already have one, could you see if it can be done.
Cheers folks.

thought you didnae like the iphone are you not a nokia man:p:pQuote:

But I text constantly (just ask CraigD) and a qwerty keybaord when texting is a royal PITA for me. Often text one handed and just don't have the dexterity to reach all the keys with my thumb.Quote:

I got it for 350 just went for 8gb as I would never fill a 16, by time I sell my current phone and iPod it will have cost me nothing to upgrade.
Andy as for texting I can't see a way to use a alphanumeric keypad
I cant believe that Apple would have put the original one out without 3g Its not exactly new tecnoligy
I have to admit. I kinda thought the same thing...:eek:Quote:

been tempting to look at the new one though, but to be honest whats different compared to the old one? (other than the MB)
I'm sorry.....WHAT??? :argh::argh::argh::thud::eek:Quote:

The main new features are GPS and 3G. The design is mainly the same other than the back panel and the headphone jack is now sunken and can be used by any headphones.Quote:

I specifically asked whether the contrct would be with CPW or with O2 and they said O2. Apparently this is unique to the iPhone as if you get any other phone from CPW on o2 you pay CPW not o2.Quote:

Have upgraded my old iphone to software2 - its great - check out ipint
Apple are breaking the law by only selling throw o2 , eu rulez

but aye, i had a wee shot in the o2 shop, i did notice it likes to 'buffer' alot, and being surrounded by salesmans going "you buying it eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh?!?!" lol
The new ipods locked out some of the older 3rd party components, my old dock doesn't work with the new one for example. Wonder if it's the same with 3G iphone?
Anyway, I'm not getting one, much as want one - my new SE c902 gets delivered today, with 600 minutes, unlimited texts and data for 20 quid a month - That's 370 cheaper the equivalent Ipod tarrif over 18 months. Iphone is good, but it's not worth 400 quid over a normal high end phone over 18 months.
Not quite! Some EU countries have laws (France for example, not) which make it illegal to only sell a phone tied to a specific carrier in that country, so Apple offer the phones 'sim free' in these countries. These are not EU wide laws that affect all member countries. No laws are being broken.Quote:

After seeing dad paying: £45 --> £62 -----> £102 etc etc (it went up and down but the 3 prices are min and max i think he went G2F with the phone in which i was happy to get.
so i dont think ill be getting one, so when my contract goes out ill just put my PAYG sim back in and play away more.
in a way its good, Ipod and Phone in one rather than carrying both but thats about it.
Euan, did you get a free gift with your new contract? :rolleyes:
I'll let you off with hacking it...just cuz it's sometimes interesting to do such thingsQuote:

P.S. I'll be in touch later today/tomorrow about ordering those bits! ;)
Right fine, have it your way....
Ill put the commidor system on it! :smilewinkgrin::laugh::Whistle:
No botther mate, i might need to order in a few things :thumbs up:
No, it was an upgrade on Orange - I'd tried to upgrade 2 weeks ago but they wanted 60 quid for the phone and 30 quid for the contract with less minutes and no data bundle so I passed. Tried again at the weekend and got that offer - which I was more than happy with! :DQuote:

just a wee update to say the 3g iphone is great.
If you don't have one yet then get out there and buy one.
The apps store alone it's worth it
Exposure is a great apps and works well flickr I really like the photo's near me part.
I like the HFD calculator it's a neat tool to use when
taking photo's with our main camera it works it all out for us.
I'm wanting to get these for my current contract with O2, but, not due an upgrade until December.
Reading on their website they say that unless you are due an upgrade don't call cause you won't get one, only when it's due :argh:
Has anyone who is contracted to O2 received one outwith their renewal date??
And, do you really get unlimited web surfing included in the monthly rate?
I never surf the web with my current phone, too tight :Whistle: but, would be interested if the iPhone contract allows it
