I have an iPhone!!!

Del Lardo · 17-11-2007, 05:28

I want to play with it but I have to keep it in the box so it can be ebayed when I get back to the UK to pay for the iPod touch I just bought

Lovely bit of kit, I likes toys!

Hmm, given Apple's desire to lock iPhones down tighter than Fort Knox I'm not entirely sure what mileage you'll get there, but good luck and worth a try I guess.

You're stronger than me

But why didn't you buy a Touch there?

Well if he's gone to France he'll get a mint for it, with French law saying that a phone cannot be sold in France without there being an unlocked version of said phone available to customers.

I am assuming France cannot be the only country in the world with this law though, surely

If true, that sounds like a good move.

Looks like I may be wrong for now, Orange Fr won't sell iPhones until November 29th. €300 for a locked phone, and an undisclosed amount for an unlocked phone. Would be interesting to see how much they go for, and how quickly they find their way into the rest of the world

I don't understand why this isn't law everywhere else in the world, surely it isn't very good consumer practice to force a phone to bundle with a specific carrier?

iPhones are very easy to hack. 1.1 hacks are all over the place and the 1.2 that caused a load of hacked phones to die already has a (hard to use) hack. Phone has 1.1 so as long as you don't update the software then job's a goodun

Bought a Touch for myself

Pats weak dollar and 10% Cisco discount at Apple store

That's bloody tempting actually. My boss is over from the states in three weeks. Must resist.

The more I use the Touch the more impressed I get. Currently surfing BD while listening to music. Facebook web app is very good as well, just wish it had a pop3 mail client.

Guy here has an iPhone and the Guvnor picked up a Touch yesterday. The Touch fits in the cradle I have in the car. I want one. I want it now, it's very nice. I originally said that an iPod without a clickdial thingie isn't a real iPod but I've changed my mind.
