Getting the iphone 4 +rep

[BobX]

The iphone 4 has Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities. Exactly like the iphone 3G and 3G S.

ok so basically if i buy it, they wont bring out a better new one a month later?

I find it sick companies are allowed to charge the amounts they do for a phone.

Money like that could be spent so well.

i shall quote what i said yesterday, which actually reveals true prices of phones (if youre upgrading of course) this is for PAYG though. Considering that they are basically mini computers, the prices arent half bad

the N97 you can sell for £120 at mazuma mobile. Now assuming you are upgrading to the N97 mini. This N97M costs £400 at CW. This means that the total phone price is, assuming you sell, £280. Ok, sounds alright.

Now, the 3GS 16GB. You can sell this for £227 on mazuma mobile. Assuming youre upgrading to the iPhone 4 16GB, the phone price costs £500. Ok, sounds a lot. But after selling, this price comes tumbling down to 273.

So, you get, imo, a better mobile, for a cheaper price.

@BobX, the iphone has 3G and edge afaik.

nope, apple release a new phone every year around June time. So it will be about 5 months if you buy at christmas lol

Mind you what most people do is sell their current iPhone as soon as the date for the new iPhone arrives.

iPhones dont really depreciate that much so really you can keep up to date with the latest phones for cheap.

I would rather buy a £500 netbook than a £500 phone (assuming it was payg..)

And upgrading? Believe it or not, not everyone who's gets phones like iphones upgrade to it lol.. I can't get my head around how £99 for a phone on a £75 contract for 18 months is worth it.. that's like what? £1450

Here we go, this is what I know:

Orange say their internet is unlimited, but is infact 750mb
Vodafone are doing 1GB as standard for all pay monthly

O2 are doing different caps, but all the sensible pay monthly costs are 500mb. When you get your iPhone 4, you'll have unlimited internet until October 1st when the caps come in and then you can pay an extra £5 per month to bump it up.

Visit Carphone Warehouse's website they've got all 3 networks crunched down into nice boxes.
