Planning on getting an iphone

[DJ-Vimto]

yeh, as far as im aware you're forced into an 18 month contract.

it's the same for all phones. Once you start a contract you have to stay with it for a certain amount of time before they can even let you cancel it. In the iphones case you may have to return it, but i dont know for sure.

similar things apply to upgrades, i dont know about other networks, but Orange will let you upgrade 3 months before your contract expires, but if you do choose to take that early upgrade, you have to wait an extra 3 months before you are eligable to upgrade next. I opted for this, so i now have to wait 21 months to get my next upgrade, doesn't really bother me because the sony ericson k850i is an epic phone

you can cancel your contract at any period, but you will have to pay to do so.

There's an article on MacRumors at the moment, claiming the iPhone 3G will be available in 60 days, at the WWDC in June. http://macrumors.com/ I'd wait for one of them tbh.

Good investment (y)

yeh i know, its the 18 month part i meant was bad.
idk about you, but i get bored of phones in about 3-4 months, id hate to have the same phone for a year and a half

It's up to you really. Depending on how soon you want it. But be aware of the contract you have to sign up for, i don't really see apple changing it anytime soon.

I have one but it's unlocked.

Just but it from the store take home and do it all in ZiPhone easy now you can insert a Pay as you go Sim card
