to everyone say that apple are taking the "piss" with the new features, they're not. it's a fantastic way to make money and I will certonally be picking up one sooner or later. I'm going to most likley sell my old iPhone to get it though.

I'll be sticking with my unlocked 3G. I would sell it and possibly pay the difference to get the 3GS on PAYG, however i don't think i want to be paying a min of £35 a month for 600 mins and 500 texts. I think ill be moving to a sim only plan with T-mobile once my contract ends in April next year. Which ill just use in my 3G.
Pritty stupid really i understand the way with the subsidy and all, however my bills are usually around £80-£100 a month. 02 will be losing out big-time once my contract is up. I am also not going to bother upgrading because of the stance 'we don't do discounts on iPhone tariffs'.
Plus if anyone has worked out, getting a 3GS 16GB on the cheapest decent plan, currently the £35 a month plan, works out at over £815 a year without any boltons or extra call charges. Then add app purchases and iTunes movies and music downloads. Looking at close to £1000 a year.
Silly really when i just got my mum the new Samsung Tocco ultra for free, 800 mins, unlimited texts and internet. £27 a month x 18 = £486. Less than half the cost.
Really does seem like you get shafted when you pay a 'premium' for apples products.

That's technology for you, I'm afraid you'll always be able to get things far better in just weeks or months after buying something. Suppose you just have to put up with it, it is annoying but unavoidable. If you began waiting out for everything you'd never make a purchase![]()

Ok I can see where your coming from if you still have the 1st Gen.
I really cannot wait for OS 3.0.
It's a minor upgrade and the prices are ridiculous. I wouldn't say no to a free one though![]()
I had a 3G for a while, but then my dad needed that for work so I went back to my first Gen, and the deal was he'd get me a 3G/or newer being the 3G S now, for my birthday so it's a major bump for me lol.
