Desperate For an iphone

Hi,

I am under contract with my Blackberry until September so cannot upgrade until then.

As far as I can see my only choice is to pay up now to buy out my contract and then ugrade to an iphone with Vodafone or another provider depending on the offer.

Do I have any other options?

I want a 32GB 3gs under contract for £35/40 per month.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

    Sell your Blackberry and put the proceeds towards buying out your contract, bear in mind however that you'd have to fork out £149 for the iPhone you want on a £40 per month contract

    Mazumamobile paying £95 cash or £104.50 in argos vouchers. Not much really.

    Forget the iphone - get the sony aspen.

    There'll be a new one out in July, wait till September, save a pile of cash and get the newest version.

    The only real difference on the new version is that it will have 4g capability. 3g has only just been introduced around my house so i can't see 4g coming any time soon!

    I think the 4G is generation 4 rather than mobile 4G.

    Also the rumour mill has gone very quite in the new iPhone since it wasn't in the iPad event a week back.

    New iPhone in July, really? I was going to get one tomorrow so maybe I should wait!
    There are some days when even my lucky underpants can't help.

    I'm sure there are better,more capable products..unless your a dedicated follower of fashion?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
