Yeah, but was it for that specific model as has been suggested? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I would assume they weren't so naive as to assume that one model would last forever. As such, its pretty damned certain O2 will get it exclusively - at least for the forseeable future.

No pricing on the UK Apple Store - which is getting splattered.

No update on CarphoneWarehouse's site, or o2's.

Feek · 09-06-2008, 20:05

They're on the UK Apple store

/edit but only links to 02 and cpw

Well, Exchange Active Sync and Cisco VPN support make it viable to me. No sure I fancy moving back to O2 though, nor an 18 month contract :/

We'll see come renewal time. Diamond still for now though, just so I can chop it up without risking it being bricked!

o2 site says news tomorrow.

This is my thought too. Whilst I love using Apple stuff, I just don't like the fact that it seems too tied down. I'm almost starting to dislike Apple because of it

I think the Diamond is still the way to go for me. There's just a lot more I can do with it.

American release is July 11th i think, i think i can hold off getting another phone

I would've got it if it had a better screen since that's what i use most along with its ipod feature, but thats that same so the 3G thing won't matter to me much. The CPU is also the same too so it's basically the same phone.

In some ways I like the way Apple locks you in. MobileMe could be great. Syncronising my Mac, iPhone and online for when I'm away from both for some random reason. I've had a Dell Axim pda for a few years and never bothered with it outside of Tomtom. While the Diamond maybe more open it just looks sluggish and I'd hate using something like that daily.

Looks like a great phone. If I hadn't just moved to an 18 month Orange contract I'd be seriously considering getting one. I'll just stick with my HTC Touch + iPod Touch combo for now.
