All gone. Sold out in a few hours. Friday morning at the shop is going to be manic.

Mine should be turning up on Friday

It's just a phone FFS.

I'm all for shiny new stuff, but I think I'll sit this one out (again).

For me its freedom from my current crappy phone that I can barely text on. Its annoying to be out, quickly checking my email and to be unable to reply due to the crappy phone. If I take the iTouch with me its also annoying to see a BT Openzone connection and to know that if only I had the iPhone I could use it. Basically its an end to a list of daily annoyances. I fully expect Friday is going to be insane though, and I probably will be one of those sad geeks queing for a phone. But if it sells out then I'd rather que than miss out.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why some people need this sort of technology (yourself included) - just for the same reason the Blackberry has proliferated.

It's the 'I must have this now or I'm going to kill myself' attitude from those who are probably already queueing outside O2 shops that amuses me. Obviously no-one here would do that.

Ok so I had a dream that I got the new iPhone 3G... It was odd because at one point I realised it was a dream. "Wait, its not out yet. I must be dreaming."

You're outside the O2 shop, posting from your iTouch, aren't you?

petemc · 10-07-2008, 12:13

Gonna ask in here because it's where all the phone geeks appear to be

What are Orange like for FUP's etc? I'm loathe to move away from T-Mobile, but a guy I work with is after a Diamond as well, and found this:

Been with Orange before and never had any issues with them, only left because they were rubbish with data charges. T-Mobile give me no trouble at the moment (though I'm only on GPRS), though I very very rarely use the phone as a modem, just for Google Reader and some other light browsing on the move. He wants to use it as a modem though (remote support) - are they likely to give him hassle?
