£100 off Iphone

[Sutch]

No doubt everyone will have these now, O2 and CarphoneWarehouse cutting the price of the 8gb to just £169, read about it here (http://www.mobiletoday.co.uk/O2_to_cut_the_price_of_the_iPhone_by_%C2%A3100.htm l)
Also it mentions the rumours about the new 3G handset as the price of current handset is falling, and stock not be refilled.

Seems pretty bad luck to those people who have already splashed out, both on O2, and if a new release is on the horizon the possible resale value of them will have dropped

[Barry123]

sucks to be them... I always wait before splashing my cash on that sort of shizzle.


anyway.... I'm glad you raised this Sutchy...

I lost my mobile on sunday so I need to get a new one.... do I buy an eye-Phone???


yes or no?

Yes, they look cool, and will make you even cooler to others ;)

No, you can get better deals elsewhere that arent trying to milk you for all your worth because they stick a piece of fruit on their hardware and make everyone love it.

Fair summary? ;)

I don't think that is physically possible.

LG Viewty (http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/offer/18O230N614/) 400mins 500 texts £20 a month 18 months, sweet lil phone

Sony Ericsson P1i (http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/phone/Sony_Ericsson_P1i_with_Sat_Nav/) 400 mins 500 texts £20 a month 12 months, Had the one before and was great.

May not be as jazzy as an IBone, but do everything it can and more.

[Mystic]

Iphone tbh, your gonna have to splash some cash sooner or later Derv, you got more camera gear than you do car. Its time to buy some everyday cool! :P

Nice how they butter up how cheap and irrisistable it is and then when your ready to sign your name they shoot you down with a comment like this: "Speculation is mounting about the release date of the 3G version of the device. "

Wankers :p

[Barry123]

you know what... dadsayer offered to buy me a 40D... except they were out of stock... opportunity missed. feck.

I think I'll just buy a crappy phone to be honest... I've read reviews on the iPhone and to be honest a lot of it is just gimmicks. I only use mine to take sly shots of women and the odd phone call... Iphone is just a bit of a waste to be honest.

[Clouds_mate]

Its apple. It always happens, not just with iPhone. The computer rage is the same.

Its the risk you take when buying Apple goods.

Cant wait till the 3g one comes out (if it does). EDGE is ok but sometimes just not quick enough.

[Robb]

Edge is painfully slow and I only seem to get Edge reception whilst hurtling down the motorway.

[AdamW]

Hate this......because every mong will have one now saying that had it since release....

I can't be centre of attention anymore

[Clouds_mate]

Now on o2 site.. Click (http://shop.o2.co.uk/iPhone)

[mattchewone]

Whats EDGE??

[Robb]

Whats EDGE??

A slower form of 3G. Basically wireless internet.

[Jacko]

iphone= cheap piece of tat.

[GrantW]

http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/

Anyone who bought the full price phone at the beginning will get $100 store credit supposedly...

[Robb]

http://www.apple.com/iphone/storecredit/

No go. And looks like US only...

[rushy_23]

Bet Mr Alex is pleased!?

[jaybiss]

but you have to take out the contract? doesnt say its just the iphone handset without the contract, if its just the iphone im going to go buy one :)

[GrantW]

My bad, never read the date on that link I posted.

[GrantW]

Yeah you just don't sign up for the contract, jailbreak and unlock it first using Leckie's guide.

[AdamW]

Neg, handset is £169

Been discussed many a time Brummy boy.....you sign up to contract at home via iTunes or just unlock it and put your old contract sim in....

[Robb]

My bad, never read the date on that link I posted.

However I just found this...

O2 UK and Carphone Warehouse who exclusively sell the iPhone in UK will be also giving GBP 100 vouchers to customers who have bought the iPhone in the last 30 days.

[Clouds_mate]

http://www.apple.com/iphone/storecredit/

No go. And looks like US only...

If you bought your phone within the last month you get £100 store credit. This is only confirmed at CPW atm.

EDIT - too slow.

hmmmmm do i buy one this weekend?

[Barry123]

respec'

Yes. But only if you wanna go down the unlocking route....

[Sutch]

If you're going to buy one, get a few, unlock them, sell them on and you'l get a free one. Love the way everyone on ebay thinks its the best deal clickity-jim (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/_Mobile-Phones__Iphone-8gb_W0QQ_kwZIphoneQ208gbQQSimlocke004d662ZUnlocked f7478f03QQ_npmvZ3)

[Jacko]

going to buy one on lunch. serious.

[Sutch]

going to buy one on lunch. serious.

I'm hoping to get one too for a lil profit

When you go into O2 and buy one, do you just buy the phone, then contract is done all online? But you jailbreak it rather than sign up an all that jazz?

[Jacko]

that sounds about right.

[Clouds_mate]

Yeh thats right.

[Robb]

going to buy one on lunch. serious.

Id rather die than buy and iPhone.

I kneeew it.

[Jacko]

hahahaha. it aint for me hombre.

[Sutch]

Yeh thats right.

Cheers,

I remember you're threads a while ago about unlocking them, just about to search for them but another question, am not up to date with the firmware etc?
I thought for a while only certain early Iphones could be unlocked, or am I talking crap

[Clouds_mate]

Its funny all the people that said they were shit and stuff are all now buying since the price has come down lol. Its always been about the price. People that said it was shit are people that couldnt afford one.

4 people from here have just walked over to CPW to buy one each on there lunch. Joke

[Clouds_mate]

[Barry123]

why the frig does it need unlocking? and wtf is jailbreaking?

[Robb]

Ha Id thought Sayer had ran off to the o2 shop before reading my post.

Simple method, just means you can run any sim card/network. Im sure iLeck could talk/walk you through the process....

[Clouds_mate]

Im sure he could too ;)

ok if I have an o2 Sim... why can't I just pop that in the phone and use it.

Sorry for being retarded



NOOB

[Clouds_mate]

Because the iPhone is only ment to run on iPhone traffifs.

Bring it home, jailbreak and put in your sim card.

Takes 5mins.

[Saxo-Will]

[AdamW]

[Robb]

Me and Adam are house hunting the weekend of June 5th.

We could pop in for a cup of tea then?

[AdamW]

Will need to speak to my old man as he gets them through his company.......I know we got some for one dayer against New Zealand at edgbaston in June or July.....

And then some for test series against Sri Lanka is it??

[Ruddy]

Think they are a tidy bit of kit like. Was blown away by Leckies but think the 5 pints of grolsch and anti-biotics had something to do with that.

Could never bring myself to buy one because i will:

- Lose it
- Destroy it
- Burn it
- Deface it
- Fuck it up completly

[jaybiss]

let me know and ill see if i can get any tickets off warwick

[Mystic]

They should have arrived at this price tbh. Companies are so greedy. I bet they cost £20 each to manufacture. :err:

[Barry123]

Hahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahhahahah thread is full of 2 faced cunts

Im not two faced. but I am a cunt :cool:


bought it.


havent a fucking clue how to even open the box.

right the fuckers in carphone warehouse made me sign a contract to say that I would ring o2 and get myself on to one of their rip off contracts... that wont be happening.

So how the fooooooooooooooooooooook do I work this thing... it's still in its packaging as I don't wont to lock it or get signed on to a gay contract.

[Karl]

Ive never looked into this,
what does "3G" entail.
Im perfectly happy with the functions my iPhone has?

[Mystic]

They would never pre release a date Robb, Apple elove to "surprise us" with new technology even though we just spent a fortune on their last new technology

any idea how to get edge to work on orange?

[Hanuman]

new phones are crap,, i just got a viewty and k850i the k850 feels about as well built as a saxo. and the viewty is mint for style but just not practical with touch screen for texting.. i phone WELL over priced again not practical for texting (compared to normal) and the camera is poo (yeayea people say i have one its "fine" so is a 3year old nokia phones camera. also no video (i think)?

im flogging the new k850 completely dissapointed in it the piece of CRAP.
flogging the viewty as i just cant text quick enuff on it

keeping my k810 which aint missed a beat considering i put it through its paces, and the camera on it (DARK PICS) is FAR better than the viewty which is a 5mpg.... all in all new phones are crap

[Jacko]

will buy the 3g version.

[Hanuman]

i think phones are at a point where you either want a good practical phone or just an accessory to say .. i have an XXX phone

[Karl]

Love my iPhone to bits tbh <3

[BenSilverSaxo]

any idea how to get edge to work on orange?

would also like to know this

[jaybiss]

why would they drop the price until june if the 3g version was coming out?

[Karl]

would also like to know this

ring up orange and ask for their edge settings.

[Mystic]

They have stopped manufacturing them and trying to clear out old stock first. Its the Apple way. People who buy the reduced priced ones now may still buy a 3G in a few months time if they get hooked onthe iPhone!

The 3G version will no doubt come with a few extra perks too. Either nano sized or a better camera or something. Just enough to make people bite while they develop the next range.

[antc]

done that all working cheers

[Barry123]

too scared to unlock and jailbreak... anybody got a site that goes through it step by step?

thanks

[Mystic]

You can ditch itunes for now all you need is phone, usb cable and the unlock software i think!

how do I know what version I'm running?

Need to bang itunes on for that, it will tell you.

[Barry123]

so I just mount it all together, plug the USB into the computer... then?

[antc]

yeh when i got mine today it was 1.1.2 latest version is 1.1.4

the sim is at the top you need a paper clip and put it in the hole then pull it out and the sim wil be in there, theres shit load of guides on youtube
