If they moan about mobile phones, just switch it to Airplane mode.
Based on my files;
720p Doctor Who each episode is roughly 1.6GB
480x272 (iPhone resolution for 16:9 videos) are about 200MB each, although I believe these are compressed.
I imagine DVD quality rips would be about 500 to 600MB each.
You do know that if you give your iPhone to o2 to recycle they'll give you £160 for it?

Agreed, unless you're sixth form and can keep it with you ALL THE TIME.Quote:

Just feel that I should point out that I got £230 for my iPhone 3G 18GB on Ebay a week ago, even if you have an 8GB you should get £200. :)Quote:

I think i might buy the 32GB iPad now instead of the 16GB
I got £215 for my 8GB iPhone 3G.Quote:
