iPhone & HTC Touch Diamond - Page 11

o2 update...

*Best of all, the new 8GB iPhone won't cost you a penny on our £45 and £75 tariffs. And it's just £99 on our £35 tariff and new £30 tariff.

Handset subject to availability. Connection subject to status, 18-month minimum term contract, credit check & direct debit. Data usage whilst roaming not included. Unlimited Wi-Fi is available at any of the 9,500 Wi-Fi hotspots from our partners The Cloud and BT Openzone (available from 11 July 2008). Excessive usage policy and full terms apply.

BT Openzone access will be great for me. I'm always finding that in random places in Liverpool. I think theres a wifi hotspot in the Mersey. Found one the other day there.

I'm just reading on this Push Email thing. Its just what I've been wanting. Out and about and the iPhone tells me I've got an email like an SMS. The only thing I worry about is the inevitable data charges from leaving that running.

£99 on a £30 a month isn't that bad................

petemc · 09-06-2008, 23:15

But that £30/month contract is rubbish compared to the £35 / month one.

Mondo · 09-06-2008, 23:24

YEah i take that back, what the heck is one to do with 75 minutes and 125 messages !

£35 at minimum or its not really worth it.

Mondo · 09-06-2008, 23:30

Looks like Apple will go with the traditional Contract route where you sign up instore too. Else you'll just say you are getting the £75 contract but get a phone free wouldn't you ?

Why not? It's more than enough for social reclusives like me. I used to manage on 30 min/month and no texts without issue.

Believe me, I wish that wasn't the case - just wish I could find something to talk about that is vaguely interesting to the average non-geek.

That's more than enough for me. Not all of us walk around with a phone stuck to our ear

Mondo · 10-06-2008, 08:44

Nor do I but compare to other £35 a month contract that is not very good at all, I'd like at least 300 text....125 text is like contracts 5 years ago.

Davey_Pitch · 10-06-2008, 08:46

That contract would be useless for me as I often use my phone in work, and end up texting people loads throughout the day. I'm happy with me 600 minutes and unlimited texts

I'm thinking get a phone and jailbreak it. Not fussed about the visual voicemail. I'll probably go back to T-Mobile when my current contract runs out and then get an iPhone and use the net alot. It§s just not viable on orange at the moment.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
