  • Huh! i was sure that it was 2ghz. It was rumored to be that, but i guess i just never picked up that it was 1.2.... but still fast! The Htc Sensation will also be 1.2 and does look very slick. the real issue with it is that the OS is now 3gb.... which is colossal. App2Sd is fine as far as it goes, but it still doesnt remedy the situation because you still have very little very valuable internal memory.

    3 as others have mentioned have rubbish signal, a friend has the iphone 4 on 3 and its next to useless as she can't get signal most places. A smartphone with no signal is pointless.


    Funny... My work uses O2 for its phones and the signal is really bad. I am forever using my 3 mobile to contact people as the work phone either cant get signal or breaks up really badly. I have also found 3 to have a better coastal signal than Orange and O2 as well. I suppose it depends on where you are.

    The only problem I have encountered with 3 is horrendous customer service and thier ability to tell you they are working on improving the signal in your area 3 days after its complete and you have had all the crap signal problems and wondering whats going on.

    Because of 3 I now always record any phone calls with them to do with upgrading or cancelling as they have no problem with lying to your face when they charge you for upgrades or dont cancell your contract.

    Well I can only comment on my experience, my work also uses the O2 network though in a different way to yours and it could be said to be more critical for my work to have the best coverage.

    Customer service with O2 has again in my experience been better than vodafone and orange.

    3 has the best deal on an iPhone 4. I intend to upgrade next month with Orange and will use thier deal as leaverage to get a better one at Orange! :D

    Orange won't do any deals on iPhone 4. They say their prices are fixed tariffs so what you see if what you get. No haggling. :mad:

    I would definitely recommend an android smartphone over an iphone every time based on contract/phone price alone, without even mentioning that the lastest android smartphones are much better than the iphone.

    3 has the best 3g coverage in the entire UK. And as someone who has travelled ALL of the UK far more than most on this forum I've got more of a clue than some people whose idea of a long journey is 1/10th of what I used to do a day, 5 days a week.

    just going on my own opinion and experience. 3 always dropped signal for me.

    I can't comment on 3 up and down the country other than to say vodafone were definitely better than 3 when I was out and about with my friend in scotland. O2 on the other hand is good up and down the country.

    meh as far as signal goes you have to check what its like where you spend most of yoru time, which will be different for everyone.

    i for the life of me can not get any signal on O2 or vodafone where i live so dont even consider them, 3, tmobile and orange have always given me excellent coverage where i have been so have no problems with them

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
