    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 have to admit. I kinda thought the same thing...

    And you'd think the new one would come with GPS built in as standard.:eyes up: Maybe it does.

    If the new iPhone doesn't do it for me, I'll be going for the Nokia e66 later in July. It launches soon.

    I'm sorry.....WHAT???

    Why would you do that?? I am absolutely shocked! Some people just don't like being told that Windows isn't all it's made out to be....there are much better alternatives out there - i.e. Mac OS X!!

    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.

    The software has been updated, to accept 3rd Party Widgets and Apps and the browser is 4 x faster at rendering! Apart from that very minor changes and apparently they have updated the battery life but I doubt it!!

    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.

    sounds like I can upgrade through CPW then, thought it would have been with 02 direct.
