iPhone Advice - aberdeen-music

Right, it's time to seriously consider getting one of these bad boys but I want to find a good deal. I've done my own shopping around but I'm a bit of a novice. Do you have any advice and tips about the actual phone itself and where you bought yours and how much it was?

I'm looking for a pay-as-you-go deal but I think it's only sensible to consider contracts too. I know I could easily just go to the high street mobile phone vendors, but they'll just try to push a sale on me rather than provide genuine and sincere advice.

I've heard of people experiencing problems with them - is this common or has it been weeded out?

Let's have your impartial opinions and advice, please.

It may be worth keeping in mind that whilst the iPhone is exclusive to o2 at the moment it's apparently going to be available on Orange and T-Mobile. This would no doubt drive down the price of them.

What all is included in that contract, may I ask?

A strange air of superiority and the ability to bore the fuck out of everyone as you waffle on about your favourite apps.

Sounds like just the ticket for me, then.

I dont think much is included in it. Unlimited data, pretty low amount of texts, fairly average mins.

I want an iphone but the contracts were terrible (may still be?) when i renewed my contract.

What network are you on just now?

Im on the £35 a month deal, you get 500 texts, 600 minutes and free internet. I just have the original 3G one, which does everything I want it to, you can get the 3G S now off of O2.

The original 3G one is free for an 8Gb one on a 24 month contract. They're great pieces of kit and I've had no problems.

Oh yeah and considering your £350 for the 8Gb handset on pay as you go you may as well get the contract as your going to have to buy your credit on top of that.

Me? I have an O2 pay-as-you-go sim. I would quite like to transfer it straight over to the iPhone but it's highly unlikely that I'll have the ability to do that, right?

As far as i know, You can do this. Scottst on here does this i think.

Just means you'd need to pay for the handset which is stupidly expensive.
