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.

[Clouds_mate]

thats completely different to waht you said tho.

I do agree the software is dated but still....

[djrem]

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its a shame its controlling some hardware thats already years out of date.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

[Clouds_mate]

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.

[Karl]

other than me (who doesnt have a digital camera) who rly cares about the quality of a camera on a phone?

I want it because it looks pimp.

[Robb]

the no mms feature would really fuck me off.

[djrem]

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.

[Robb]

Nokia 8600 > Nokia 8800.

equally as shit but looks oh so smart.

had it for 2 weeks but had to take it back.

[Jacko]

i can see the iphone being a shit phone.

would be fun to show off, but that novelty would wear off after a week or so...

[Wayne]

i would buy the new nokia one instead of an iphone.

[saxodan]

what phone you got now?

take out the iphone contract with 02 keep that and cancel the tmobile one.. or sell your tmobile handset and pay of the contract if possible.

My Phone wont cover the cost of my contact i dont think. Although i could sell my Nano as that would bring the figure nearer.

Just the contact on iphone is pap tho.

right

there is another of doing it, involves insurance claims though lol so speak to me on msn (a freind did it )

but basically you get a new phone to the value of yours to sell on again...

[Clouds_mate]

I have no insurance lol.

[saxodan]

nor did my "freind"

have a search on the internet you can get it for about £5 a month

well worth it for when your £250 phone falls into a pint by mistake..

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)
