Cheapest iPhone (UK)

[iKennett]

While the contract is for eighteen months, the trick to this is that o2 will let you downgrade your tariff after 9 months, opening up a tidy loophole for those that are organised. As the tables below show (in red), it works out £9 or £10 cheaper overall to take out the £45/month tariff and then switch down to £35 at the 9 month mark. In the meantime, you benefit from 1200 free minutes per month.

Whilst over 9 months you'll spend £90 more on the contract than you would have on the £35 tariff, the phone costs £99/£100 less, so you'll still save £9/ £10 overall, and that's before cashback.

Use TopCashback or Quidco and you can get £35 cashback, saving more money.

it would be a bit silly if we didn't have £ on our keyboards, wouldn't it?

 

[fireshot91]

# and £ are on the same key but they are not the same thing.

 

[iKennett]

# and £ are on the same key but they are not the same thing.

ah so that is where the # is!

 

[fireshot91]

oo, so do you all press SHIFT and then 3 for one pound and then press CTRL and 3 for the other one?

 

[philgilder]

Shift + 3 = £
Option + 3 = #

What does § mean?

 

[sparkyms]

and would you believe it, elsewhere in Europe they use keyboards that go
QWERTZ...?!

shocking behaviour.

Here's some useless trivia for you,

Qwerty is called so as in the old typewriter days you can not only spell 'typewriter' using only the first (upper) line of the keyboard, but it would allow the user to type at an optimum speed without keys jamming whilst typing. i assume Qwertz is so because the z must be used either it or the y is used more frequently in the countries where those keyboards are supplied.
all i know is my old swiss keyboard used to play havoc with touchtyping

Everyday is a 'school day'

The DVORAK keyboard is arguably a faster way of typing, however QWERTY has become such a standard it would be silly to change all keyboards now.
