You are about 2hrs too late and it isn,t that massive, it's just a software flaw that self rectifies after a few seconds and will be fixed soon. Don't be such a drama queen.

Sorry but I dont write the headlines on Techradar.

You clearly know more than them it seems.

And more than the people at Softpedia:

Design Flaw Makes iPhone 4 Virtually Unusable as a Phone, Tests Show

Making the steel frame work as antennae was probably not one of Apple’s best ideas

Just got back from the Apple store in Cribbs Bristol.

They are selling them on three!

32GB - £189
16GB - £99

on a £30 a month 24 month contract.
500 mins
5000 mins 3-to-3
5000 texts
1GB data

Advertisement of the deals is awful, I was the first 3 customer.

hi Lil_You

are you saying you can actually buy a Three iPhone at Apple stores now, even though Three aren't officially selling them..?

Three have certainly wiped out the competition here with their tariffs.. but it remains to be seen what their voice and data services are like.. although someone said the reception was comparable..? more feedback welcome please.

I was with Three a few years back and vowed never to go back, but with this deal its hard to argue. O2 have shot themselves in the foot with their low data caps. I should imagine using maps, along with the multitasking enabling audio streaming in the background, 500Mb data will be eaten up in no time.

Spoke to the Apple Store earlier and they do indeed do a Three contract for new customers. The guy I spoke to was surprised but it was on his system. The Three Blog confirmed that new customers can only get it from the Apple Store at the moment.

Hi does anyone know if I can cancel a 12 month simplicity contract? I ordered one yesterday along with an iphone from apple but may try on the phone to Tesco when they are back up and running. I think the cooling off period should apply or maybe distance selling rules but can't find anything on the o2 website or on my emails from them. Don't want to end up with 2 contracts!

Makes a mockery of your little comment does it not, or do you also know more than apple?

Taken from your link at Techradar "Although when we tested a call, it didn't really seem to affect the quality." seems it is just a visual effect. Seems you didn't read it all. Also if you look on the many forums today of people who have recieved the phone in the UK it seems less than 1% have had this even thogh they have held the phone as demonstrated, so it could be an issue with the early American model as all sites reporting this problem show the phone on AT&T and only one shows it on a european network. it often helps to read around.

the three plans still arent very clear i assume the 35 a month where u have to pay more for the phone is 18 months?

On a side note, can't wait for more apps to be updated for iPhone 4, the old icons look whack on this amazing screen compared to the native apple ones
