Is the tariff discount for the full 18months?

I tried O2 again today and although the lady I spoke to was friendly she didnt do much to really help me or SELL anything. Really considering staying on simplicity and buying a phone from eBay. I can then move when I see a deal I like or when a better offer comes along. Would love the Pixon/iPhone/i8510/n95 etc... but they just dont seem keen to keep my business

Yep.

However I don't like the phone so am sending it back....... Poor picture quality - IMHO, my N95 camera was much better....

Think I am going to look at the SE C905 - not overly keen on the touch screen and the lack of wi-fi...

Your welcome ste. a must get is uno for the iphone its great fun! if you send me your email i will give you a few tips on how to get Apps etc free!!

Just a tip, the recon iphones are not available from any o2 shops, as they are franchised, the deal is only availble if you call retention!!!

i must say if your in doubt about getting the iphone, i can personal say it is the best thing ive ever bought in my live! i normally get bored of phones easy and tend to pick pink flip phones but the iphone i will never part with, really is very easy to use, just like having a pocket pc, ds, ipod & phone in one!

Also the bose docking station is amazing with the iphone, make sure you put that on your xmas list :O)

Are O2 going to allow you to buy a pay and go Iphone and then run a SIM only contract off it without jailbreaking it:)? Or has that been lifted:)? The Bose docking station is ace, however I can't justify the 300 quid for it. You could get a very good separates system for that;).

you could always go for this one http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1;-1&sku=662323

i tested the sound on all the docking stations in bose outlet, all docking stations sound the same. the only thing with this one is that it dont charge the 3g phone and its not portable, you really cant tell any difference!!!

Also the prepay 3G iPhone is actually a contract iPhone sold with a prepay sim card.

If you buy the 3G iphone dont put the prepay sim in simply use the sim eject tool and put your sim card in (say sim only card / your previous prepay sim card). Turn the iPhone on and it will ask you to connect to iTunes. Connect the phone to iTunes and enter your mobile phone number. It then asks you to enter your iTunes username and password and simply registers the iPhone to your iTunes account.

*** YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO PICK A TARIFF TO GO ON ***

It then comes on and your away with your iPhone on a sim only deal. So basically any O2 sim will work in the iPhone. Just check you have a 3G sim though as if your sim is a bit old you may have to call customer services and ask for a 3G sim otherwise you wont get the 3G functions. They send out a sim card free usually and you get to keep the same number.

Jailbreaking = Allows you to install cracked apps
Unlocking = Allows you to put in any network sim

So no you dont need to Jailbreak the phone at all to activate any O2 sim.

Not one of ours you right cant beat this, is it with O2 Carphone warehouse or a 3rd party selling old O2 contracts? Also might be cashback or redemtion.

Good deal though well done!

I would go for the Bose mate sounddock £149 they do a sounddock version 2 which does charge the 3G iPhone but for the extra £70 I got the older one as the battery lasts easily a night.

or if Santas paying definitely get this bad boy!

This is with O2... Its not O2-CPW or third party old deal.. This one is straight from O2 online... I was at the end of my contract and they renewed me with the above deal.

I posted this to check whether anyone has managed to bag any 12 months contract previuosly

mind you O2 XDA ZEST is the phone launched by O2 during the 3rd week of Nov 2008.

cheers
