    Thanks. I'm going to hang on until the 3GSs are back in stock.

    3Gs in short has:
    Better camera
    Video
    Electronic Compass
    Faster for download off 3G network
    Maybe few other bits and bobs but the above are the main I thinks.

    Good for you! I wish I could get a deal like that. Sadly, though, I'm currently with Orange.

  • Hi all, thought I'd let anyone who wants to try the Quidco/mobiles.co.uk route (as shown in the Cheapest Iphone Guide) that after emailing mobiles.co.uk a member of staff has confirmed you can recieve the cashback of £60 on the 3g as well as the 3gs. The guy told me they have changed the terms on Quidco accordingly. :)
  • How annoying! Spoke with someone on Retentions at lunchtime today, and was told they've been told they've got stock in but to call back after 4pm, when they'll appear on the system.

    Just got off the phone again, and have been told they've not had any refurbished iPhones in for almost 10-14 days!

    Obviously the representatives of O2 are just wanting to take the mickey out of customers at the moment.

    Has anyone been lucky enough to order a refurbed iPhone this last week from O2?!

    Cheers,

    Toby

  • yep but not a 3gs, I doubt very much they are taking the mick I think its a genuine case of they dont know
    I don't think they're taking the mick either.

    They get the refurbs from Apple, so they don't know when they are coming in, or how many they are getting until a big truck pulls up I would imagine. Then they are entered on the system.

    I hope they come in this week cos I'm off work and want to have a bit play !!:j

    Got mine today, and it's working a treat. Comes in an o2 box which is a bit of an anti-climax, but absolutely mint inside.
    Well chuffed.
  • Because I'm going to America in August to study over there for a year I didn't want to be tied into a contract but wanted an iPhone so finally plucked up to buy one.

    £460. for phone
    £27.50 a month, iPhone simplicity
    Unlimited Web
    Unlimited Wifi
    1200mins any network anytime
    Unlimited Texts

    Total cost for it, say it was an 18month contract would be £955.

    If it I took out a contract for it over 18months would be looking at £45 + 7.50 (unlimited text bolt on) + £189 (handset cost) = £1134.

    Total saving by buying handset outright = £179.

    If you have the cash, do it.
