Nope. Once set up as a new phone, right click your iPhone and select restore from backup. All the previous data except OS, Music and Apps is then placed back onto the phone. As long as you have the same apps selected to sync back to your phone, it pulls the saved game/app data out of the back up
So, referring back to my question 3. Does this info below (from O2's site), definitely mean that the data cap doesn't start until Octeober .... I cannot get any sense out of O2 !
'From 24 June, O2 will introduce three inclusive data bundles for new and upgrading smartphone customers. New and upgrading customers will continue to receive unlimited data as a promotion until 1 October. From that date, they will be able to buy additional data Bolt Ons which include 500MB for £5 or 1GB for £10 and O2 will ensure customers have the ability to easily monitor their use by sending them regular text messages'
Yes he is, it will delete the new setup in favour of the restore save so i think he may have wrong end of the stick
sorry if it's been covered but I been away from the forums most of today.... friend on 3 txt me sayin he's had an official 3 carrier update though an he's got visual voicemail an was saying tethering access the same access point as normal data so they wouldn't know if you were tethering or not
If previous history is anything to go by then it probably won't appear until 8/9am PST, so we might not see it until late in the day tomorrow.
I've reserved an iPhone to pick up on Thursday, and called the Apple store to confirm. In the email it says that the reservation would be held until the close of business on the 24th, but when i spoke to them they've told me to get there 'the earlier the better' as they cant guarantee they'll have enough phones to fill all reservations.
Is it just me or is this just ridiculous? Surely if I reserve a product the idea is that i dont have to get to the store at the crack of dawn and queue?

Went to my local Orange shop last Friday (as I am buying my iPhone 4 on PAYG) and they were useless.
Asked if I can pre-order one and they said "No" as the Pre-Orders had been scrapped. They were opening up at 8am, and that I should arrive there around then.
They said they didn't know if they were going to get any PAYG Units in.
I'm guessing there is no difference between the PAYG & Contract Unit, both will be the same. I'm hoping as I'm buying a PAYG unit, they will give me a PAYG Micro Sim (Again they couldnt tell me if I would, they didnt even know the iPhone 4 took MicroSims *facepalm*).
I have an Orange Contract Sim which I am hoping to cut into a MicroSim!
Being in a small town, which is getting stock I am hoping there will be no queues

Slightly off topic question guys. Hope someone can help..
I backed up my old 3G on an old laptop.
I now have a MBP. If I restore from the old laptop (for my old apps/txts/contacts etc, will I not be able to sync with MBP?
I'm selling the old laptop, so not sure what to do.

Ok, Frenchie... if you click Restore under Check for update, then yes, you erase your data which allows you to set up as a new phone or restore from back up.
Restore from Back Up is DATA only.
I've done this when I went from OS 2 to OS 3, when I had my phone swapped out and again when I went from OS 3 to OS 4.
I'm sure others here would agree with me here. If you haven't done it before, then I suggest you try
If you jailbreak then you can install an application called cylay. It does remote wipes and a whole lot more. The subscription is $27 a year but I think it's an invaluable tool for such an expensive device.

Ok, I was referring to the restore button, my bad
No problem. If your phone is upto date, plug it into your new Mac, cancel the sync, then right click the phone and select Back Up. It will place a back up on the phone onto your new machine.
To verify, just go to iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices and it should show the back up there.
To do a proper sync, literally move your whole iTunes folder from your PC to your Mac.
Job done

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go on Thursday.
Vodafone are no further down the line to getting Micro Sims sent out. They will send out blank iPad sims which can be used apparently (according to the Vodafone eForum). I have spoken to the press office and they say they will make an announcement when available. Even the current iPhone Sim only plans are being sent out with Mini Sims (as opposed to Micro)
As has already been explained reservation is different to a pre-order. Reservation gets you a place in the line basically and a pre-order is a guarantee. I don't agree either but thats how it stands.
Try this place - My mate has phone insurance as part of his lloyds account and they paid out £450 on his iphone when his missus dropped it.

The plans up for Vodafone and Orange seem to only be for a single handset. Is that right? On these plans, can you buy two or 3 handsets and share the minutes and texts? Or do you need to wait for dedicated business plans to come out with multiple handset options?
I had a look for iPhone 4 insurance myself a few days ago. The networks offer their own insurance policies but they're extortionate, the cheapest I found in the end, though it currently mentions the 3GS not the iPhone 4, is CUSC. One would assume that their iPhone plan would apply to the 4th gen as well and £65/yr is not bad. If you have home insurance or such like, you might want to check what they can offer you with regards to iPhone insurance as they're sometimes quite good deals.
