I predict a UK price drop...

[sweetice2007]

carphone's website isnt updated yet with the new price but o2 has

 

[thefunkymunky]

You do it theough iTuens, so you can just take it home and hack it.

Yes I get that.

 

[sananda]

yeah my friend rang apple store lastnight and they knew nothing about the price drop let alone any rebates /QUOTE]

because there is no price drop at the apple store. it's only at o2 and cpw.

 

[PowerFullMac]

Yes I get that.

Im surprised you did, I made a lot of typing mistakes there!

Anyway, just seemed like you were saying you had to sign it in store to get the iPhone.

If you click buy now on a 8GB iPhone it shows the new price.

I just said that because O2 changed the T&C on their website for the new price of the iPhone.

Ah, OK then.

 

[Snips]

buy now, upgrade later?

I'm now tempted to buy one of these now, start chugging away at the 18 month contract and then upgrade to a 3G in June, does anyone have any evidence for the the likely policy for upgrading? What happened when they introduced the 16Gb iPhone model?

(I'd unlock my 'spare' phone once the upgrade is available)

I've just looked on ebay and people are still bidding way over £200 for the 8GB version.

It seems that this news isn't travelling all that fast.

 

[BongoBanger]

Tempted to buy it and jailbreak it now as a back up...

 

[wrkactjob]

Yaay just walked into my local O2 store and £169 later walked out with a new 8gb iPhone.

Yes I noticed a lot of people are still bidding huge money for 8Gb iphones on Ebay! guess news has yet to filter through to the masses.

I will get this one jailbroken and play with it until the new 3G comes out then pass this onto my wife who will doubtless fill it with photos and rubbish pop music.

Now whats the cheapest/best way to jailbrake it?!

ZiPhone

 

[gazik]

this may be a silly question, but anyway...when buying the iphone in O2 store, do u have to show some ID to prove citizenship - because they expect u to activate the phone(and pay month fees).

 

[steviem]

pwnage tool

DO NOT USE ZIPHONE!

Use the Pwnage Tool or iLiberty+

ZiPhone is known to damage iPhones.

Thats actually very big of you, thanks and I accept!

EvanLugh I forgive you too..... let's hug it out....

Yah well I got banned (lol). Anyway, you were right, congratulations my good man

Unlikely. Very Unlikely.

O2 changed some cheaper tariffs for the iPhone recently (not seen on Apple.com, but on O2.co.uk), so it's already partially cheaper.

And £100 is a heck of a lot. That would make it £169. Thats around $340. Thats $59 cheaper than in the States - this would never happen. Never. Ever.

Never? That's a pretty strong and definitive word. Considering the poster was essentially dead on and you were dead wrong, maybe in the future you should reconsider the way you address speculation, by not using such absolute and certain terms. Not even Steve Jobs says "never".
