Dodgyknees Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Most of the people who got them after me said the same, after looking at mine, playing with it and seeing how awesome it was, they were counting down the days till their contacts expired. Infact one person paid £150 to get out of his Orange contract so he could get the Iphone, insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 After having a Nokia N95 at work I cannot believe anyone could rate a Nokia phone as anything other than poor. The Ominia has similar storage capacity as an Iphone but as it runs WM6.1 it needs tweaking to get it to do stuff as you want it. Just because you can tweak a phone isnt always a good thing and I have had three windows phones. I will see what announcements are made in the next couple of days before deciding wether I go for V2 or V3 of the Iphone. Bicks is right about the tariff when you consider you get free wifi at bt openzone and the cloud as well as free internet via 3g it is a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 7, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2009 agree mykeyb. A nokia N95 is the worst phone I've ever had. I hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah but thats £300 for the Iphone, £25 to get it unlocked instead of £150 to buy his contract out and then get the Iphone with free internet / wifi etc and all the bits for £50 p/m.

Based over 18 months for comparison. £300 + (£19.58 x 18 ) = £652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bargain line doesn't work i'm afraid. Oh it's certainly not a bargain. It's expensive because O2 paid Apple a shitload to be the only ones allowed to sell their phones. Consequently they can charge what they like, and if people want an iPhone they will pay what O2 want. If Orange or something were to join the race then they'd be competing for contracts and prices would soon plummet. iPhone certainly isn't a bargain. But what it is, IMO of course, is well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncy_chris Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you buy a PAYG iPhone are you sure you can then use a pay monthly o2 simplicity sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you buy a PAYG iPhone are you sure you can then use a pay monthly o2 simplicity sim? Of course, thats the whole idea! You can even unlock it at home in about 10 mins and put any sim you like in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you buy a PAYG iPhone are you sure you can then use a pay monthly o2 simplicity sim? Of course if you do this you can only have unlimited internet or unlimited wifi unless you pay another £7.50 a month for that bolt-on too. So its not really like for like.
