  1. Do you know how much data you use in an average month? I checked mine and since I have had it I have sent 125mb and received 1.3gb so it probably wont affect me. If your data usage is a lot hight then that may well become a major consideration. I would imagine that at some point the unlimited data will be cancelled on all existing contracts at a point where it wont cost them too much if you decide to get out of your contract because of it. If you are going to sell your 3GS have a look at CEX as they seem to have some pretty decent prices compared to prices they are going for on ebay at the moment.
  2. O2 completely screwed up. I was sent an email yesterday with all the iphone costs and tariffs on. They had the handset costing quite a bit more on a 24 month contract than an 18 month contract. £177 for me to upgrade tom 16gb Iphone on a 12 month upgrade. Cannot understand people moaning about having to buy out their contract and then the cost of the new handsets in all honesty. O2 are letting people buy them out at £20 a month which lets face it they dont have to do they. Yes the Iphone is expensive but look at the resale value at then end of your contract. No other phones comes close to holding their value.
  3. I felt no pride when he played for England on Saturday, I suppose I am resigned to the fact he is going. Mind you for 30 million I wont be shedding too many tears
  4. How poorly do you think we would have to do for Capellos position to come under threat. I think we will qualify for the knockout phase and so think his job will be safe unless he decides to go.
  5. The three players from our starting eleven who are outstanding (close to world class) for their clubs are Gerrard, Rooney & Lampard. None of whose league club play 4-4-2. Most pundits are saying if we are going to progress in the knockout stages we are going to need to change to 4-5-1 (which would strangely suit the 3 players above). Surely we should be playing this formation now.
  6. That team with that formation and the way they played could have been under Sven or McClaren. Nice to see how far Capello has brought us. Lampard again fails to deliver in an England shirt. King is obviously not going to be fit enough and Heskey somehow was probably our best player. Next game Barry for Lampard unless we go 4 5 1, Joe Cole for Milner. If England are to go further we need our 2nd striker ie Heskey to be much more of a goal threat. Oh and ITV HD absolute shite, christ knows how much of the live game was missed because of the slowmo replays we kept seeing.
  7. Someone posted on another site that o2 are going to offer an upgrade charge of £20 for every month left of your contract. I would guess that you will then have to take up a new contract and may have to be a fee for the handset. My guess is that they are all waiting to see what the other operators are going to charge before going public.
  8. Well 16th June is the date we can ask O2 about a 12 month upgrade on a business contract. Not sure they are going to be making the iphone 4 too affordable so might have to look at a 3GS for the remaining 12 months - lets hope they have some 16gig one left by then. I agree this does make the ipad look poor in comparison.
  9. Coming from a Labour supporter, that comment is a lot like an arsonist who has just set fire to his home complaining about the size of the fire brigade's hose when they show out to put out the blaze. Goverments across Europe are having to make deep and painful cuts to reduce their deficits and prevent the weight of sovereign debts dragging their economies under. That the scale of Britain's problem outstrips that even of Greece is without doubt the legacy of the Brown years. The idea that there is any alternatve to this and that our problems are merely figures on a piece of paper is naive in the extreme. We have two choices, make the required cuts and get the situation under control, or don't and continue on the previous government's route into a death spiral. I watched Andy Burnham talking about this as part of his ongoing leadership pitch and like the others he is pedalling the line that cuts do need to happen, yet refusing point blank to identify where those cuts should come. I don't blame him, if he didn't say that he would be endorsing the path the coalition have taken, but the G20 have recently validated this government's approach by recommending the same measures. It's going to be rough but there is no one to blame but the previous government. Trying to blame those who have inherited this mess is simply a rejection of reality. How will these cuts benefit me? What will I get out of this? It's just another form of suppression and putting the pressure on the people at the bottom as usual. Overall, It IS a figure on a piece of paper, money is a man made invention if we get to the root of it. They say the future will be better! When will this future arrive? It won't, it's simply "spin". And, as I've said before, monetarism is not a sure way of helping the Economy. So whats you alternative?
  10. 21st June for iOS4 for 3G and 3GS owners
  11. New model to be called iPhone HD and available in a range of 5 colours if tinterweb to be believed. 6.00pm Monday I guess we will find out.
  12. 7th June is the date that the new iphone will be announced...........apparently
  13. Worth watching if only for the rather gorgeous blonde girl
  14. If we take Ireland in part exchange we can flog him back in 12 months at a hugely inflated price.
  15. David Platt, even as far back as Andy Gray. Milners value or worth is what a willing buyer will pay. If its £20 million then he aint going if its £30 million but MON and Randy want more then again he wont be going. Man city will want to do a quivk deal before the World Cup and before Chelsea if rumours are true join in. Wonder how good MON is at poker.
  16. I would be surprised if Milner forces the issue on this. He has just forced his way into the England squad and after the world cup may find himself a lot closer to the starting eleven than he is now. The worst ting that could happen to him is some serious squad rotation. Another good season at Villa will do him no harm at all.
  17. If you have kids The Tooth Fairy. Stephen Merchant is funnier than Gervais has been in his last 3 films put together.
  18. Anyone wanting Satnav on their phone -Ndrive is currently £4.99 for UK & Ireland. Gets some reasonable reviews.
  19. Upgrade time next week and O2 bang on schedule have taken the HTC Desire and I am seriously tempted to ditch my iphone and get one. After having 3 windows mobiles and half the time on XDA Id like to be able to do a bit of customising which is just not possible with the iphone. So its Desire or 3GS, not going to wait for the new iphone as thats going to cost big time.
  20. Zinio are giving away some 12 month subs to electronic magazines apparently. The list is getting smaller but on wednesday you could get Penthouse and Playboy but they appear to have disappeared now.
  21. NHS Inflation is higher than normal inflation
