when you get your money back please consider buying the phone from o2 on payg and then unlock it yourself if you really want it unlocked (for the 32gb its £538 and for the 16gb its £440)
or look at one of the other networks offering the iphone soon (orange are doing it from the 10th november

play.com are selling it sim free unlocked for £499.99. Although only 8GB version.

:eek: Well if you haven't been ripped off by the eBay merchant, then you've certainly been ripped off by Apple. You can buy a top spec laptop for that amount of money.

Got big pockets to put the laptop in then? Depends on what you count as a top spec laptop. In my books you can't get the sort of specs I want for that money

I think its actually more of the fact that they were ripped off paying that much for an unlocked phone before they were ripped off for it not turning up.

Certainly faster than the CPU and chipset of an iPhone lol

You can't fit it in your pocket though, can you. Or make phone calls (Skype notwithstanding, and for that you need a WAN link)

Nokia 3210 does though :rotfl:

I have asked the moderating team as I wasn't sure either.

This board is the featured board in the email, I guess they've just picked some threads with common problems.

All I can say is Join the Club. Twice I have been ripped off by EBay.
Once my son bought a mini digger £3,500. We spoke to the guy he seemed genuine and all the rest. To cut long story short it was a heap of trouble. The guy wouldnt refund money. We paid as per EBay instructions to cover us - what a load of crap! In the end we got the Trading and Standards onto him - but what a long, drawn out procedure. We never did get any money back.
Then my son got a new motor engine £200 from a company in Canada.
Brand new - was faulty. Company wanted nothing to do with us. Posted really bad feedback on their site. Chased company who made it in China. Got a letter to say, yes it was faulty return to supplier! What a laugh - another £200 gone down the drain. Now closed EBay account - they are trouble!!
