    It was in the newspaper a while ago that 02 will be distributing the IPhone.

    I spoke to O2 retentions yesterday. The advisor could tell me about several new phones that O2 will be distributing in then next couple of months, but he said they have not yet been told anything about getting the I phone.

    Apple reckon it 'should' be in Europe in November, possibly o2, but I reckon it will me very expensive to buy plus a £50-£60 line rental per month.....possibly a 2 year contract as well, exclusive to one carrier, just like the AT&T network is in the US.
    I'm off to Orlando on friday:T and my first port of call is the Apple store or an AT&T store, gonna buy an 8GB iPhone for approx £310, and 'hopefully' activate it on prepaid to use whilst I'm there. (there is ways ;) )

    And, the good news, its now possible to use your own sim via a 'supersim' if you know where to look :cool:

    only if you get a US pay as you go sim then start roaming in the UK which is really expensive

    Here the word on the street is that T-Mobile are in talks with Apple for exclusive rights to sell the iPhone with contracts. Now I don't know about the exclusive rights part, but certainly T-Mobile have one and a half feet in the door already.

    Everyone's going crazy about wanting to get the iPhone, I'm just hoping it's not going to be one big let-down - it's a very expensive piece of kit from a manufacturer that is new to telecoms. Personally for reasons of accessibility and because I just don't think the iPhone is worth it, I'm not going to be getting it.
