3g phone in 60 days - confirmed by mate of Steves....http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=466253 if O2 offer a reasonable upgrade offer from my S1 then I'm there

But don't you have about 14 months to go before you are due an upgrade?

No I can upgrade within my contract at the latest in Nov to a 3g one and reading this http://www.pocketpicks.co.uk/latest/ind ... one-early/ I reckon I will be able to upgrade the day it is released and flog my old one as I did with my N95 to get this iPhone

Oh and played with a brand new Nokia N82 today at Carphone Warehouse - not impressed, same old click, scroll, click,click webpage problem as my N95 and thought the sound quality thru my Shure E5c's was shit

I think upgrading to the new phone will be no problem. You may not even have to take out a new contract. I just noticed this bit on the O2 site about existing customers, it's mainly about the tariff change recently, but a bit at the bottom about the 16GB phone caught my eye:

Existing iPhone customers can purchase the new 16GB iPhone and use it for the remainder of their existing contract

Transferring your number and contacts couldn't be simpler, just follow the instructions provided here

Don't forget your existing 8GB iPhone can be given to someone else you know --- all they need to do is either go to an O2 Retail store and ask for a new PostPay O2 SIM card (free of charge), or simply use the SIM card that comes with the 16GB iPhone. They then place the new SIM card into the 8GB iPhone and activate through iTunes just as you did. They will need to sign-up to a new 18-month contract.

Can't see why it should be any different once iPhone 2 comes out.

PS3 and iPod Touch/iPhone a marriage made in heaven?

8G iPhone price to be slashed by £100? That almost makes it affordable, though it probably is just clearing stock before the new one comes in.

That makes it cheaper than an 8GB Touch!

Much better deal to get one of those and hack it rather than getting a Touch then. Although I thought it was a better deal even at the higher price.

Of course that's going to hurt all of us who want to offload our phones once the 3G one is out...

BASTARDS!

Just got my Griffin Wave from ebay and very very nice too - makes it a lot easier to handle too

I went for Classic Black

BASTARDS!

It's tech. You know it's always going to happen....

That Griffin Wave looks pretty good. How much thickness does it add?

Not really - you still have to pay a hefty £35 a month on top of that. Still, for those of you with friends...

I meant hacked of course! (Get it from Carphonewarehouse as you don't need to sign up for a contract there and then.)

It's very easy to do now.

Almost tempted to get an 8GB one, unlock it and stick my T-Mobile SIM in, except T-Mobile don't do EDGE.

Yeah, it's very simple, I've had mine running on my old Orange PAYG sim since I got it. And now even cheaper

[edit] edge works too..

I think you can still use the internet through T-mobile. This page lists the settings:
