hi everyone, ive recently brought an iphone on ebay but was scammed :mad: im in the process of reclaiming the cash back from paypal but ive been thinking about it, i paid £170 for the phone and im currently on pay as you go and spend £10 a month meaning it works out £300 a year anyhow. im very reluctant to buy another phone from ebay, once bitten twice shy! ive never had a contract phone before can anyone recomend one? for the iphone 3gs or iphone 4? thanks in advance x x

    I would hold fire on getting one for a couple more months if u can wait, as theyll be releasing the new one around june time.

    Another guess.

    All reports appear to point at a September release..
    Fingers crossed it will be June, my contract ended last month and I'm waiting for the iPhone 5.
    I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

    A bit hard when the manufacturing run isn't even starting until September...

    well, i shud say announce in june at the WWDC. At least then you shud have an idea of whats happening. I do hope they sort out the signal probs etc that occur with the i4,it is a shame i need a case on it all the time. Tbh I'd wait and see what they will do to address the issue on the i5. Unless it doesnt bother you (some people like using cases anyway). Have noticed a couple of good quidco deals recently, where u get £100ish cashback for taking a contract out. It's not guaranteed to pay out, but usually does (ive never had any probs), and would help with the costs a bit :)

    My husband has Samsung Tocco and I hate it, I am not able to use it. Why do you want an iphone and not an android phone?
