    Pre-ordering available from June 15th, but does anyone know which provider is likely to get it first or will all of them get it?
    Anyone have a clue of what the pricing will be like for it too? I imagine expensive!

    Edit: Sorry! Just checked O2, Orange and Vodafone websites and can see that O2 are expecting it first!

    If Vodamoan get it, dont believe a word they say.


    No doubt they will offer it on a 12 month contract over the phone and then deny any such deal when your paperwork turns up showing a 99 year lease with no get out clause.

    Ohh and along with 20mb data allowance for the month with 20 lash's at the yardarm for every 1 KB you go over.

    I called 3 to cancel my contract at the end of its term next month and on mentioning it was because I wanted an iphone was then offered an 16gb 3gs for free at £18/mth (24 month contract) with 500 anytime/network mins, unlimited texts, internet and 3to3 calls. This is half the monthly cost of the o2 deal I was looking at and a lot less than my present contract with 3. 3 don't appear to advertise the iphone on their site and may save it for phone/existing customers. Still worth doing with whichever provider you're with.

    I am currently with Vodafone and will be buying the iPhone 4 when it is released. There is no way I'll be sticking with them, I'm transferring to O2.

    And Vodafone on 24th too:
    www . techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/vodafone-announces-uk-availability-of-iphone-4-694757 (although states 24 July, I imagine this is typo?)

    Hope this helps someone

    If your not in the last few days of your contract (37 days I guess on Three) then you will get an early leaving charge.

    This is usually your line rental x months left before the contract was due.
