Actually works?
Care to explain?
When you unlock a UK iphone to work on o2 the only function that doesnt work is the special voicemail service, standard voicemail works fine. Minus that its exact same as a uncracked firmware iPhone.
As the new firmware are released so are the cracked versions.

yeh, no drama. will ring him at lunch.
it seems like a good idea to be fair.
i could do the same, then once leckie has one I will get one. seeing as the only thing stopping me currently is my techno-phobeness with all this firmware malarky. this way leckie can do it and then tell me how to do it.

its not the software
its the hardware
the iPhone has probably the best user interface ever on a phone
its a shame its controlling some hardware thats already years out of date.
2 megapixel camera? no flash? a battery you cant replace wtf.
and im sure the little features like the screen turns as you turn will be annoying as fuck on a train as you try and read with it waving around everywhere

The Screen turns aint as fast as you think mate, I had a go with one last week in the o2 store.
Takes about 4seconds before it flips around.

well my experience with phones that look good but function crap revolve around the Nokia 8800:
Battery life was about 12 hours standby and if you make a call. pffsh, itd better be important.
Worst phone ive ever used.
I like the iPhone. Its sexy.
But im going to hold out and wait for the 6 month bubble to pop and see what the market is saying about them.
because if there is going to be something defective, its going to be found at the end of that peroid.

If you have taken insurance out, then they buy your contract out, ask for an ACP, that menas hte insurance company buys 02 or whomever with out, just say your hpone keeps crashing (they never check) and that it occasionaly turns itself of,
then thats it canceled, nno need to pay a penny!
Thats what ive done all the time, as you know i have the iphone, the flip this took less then 4 seconds for me, infact its instant?
Great phone, the camera is perfect for what you normally use a camera phone for, i mean you wouldnt use it for photography thats what a proper camaera is for, so no problems the GUi is perfect only thing i hate is predictive text
no need to worry about MMS as thats an update in January (14th irrc)
