Hi everyone,

Anyone has news on when t-mobile uk is coming out with the iPhone?

They've teased us with pricing and IMMINENT release but why is it taking so long?

Probably no stock and they are waiting until about August to make them available?!

I can't wait no longer and Android is calling out to me and it's being hard not to listen.

No one knows for sure, after posting the initial prices, they revised the handset prices the other day (majority of prices became cheaper, much closer to orange etc), then the prices have now been taken off the site!

Lots of contradictory information/speculation on the t-mobile forums. It's a case of wait and see.
 
Hopefully be getting an iPhone in the next couple of weeks on a pay monthly contract (any suggestions for the best network btw?- I'm in London)

One question I do have is in regards to the little bit of information such as "1GB Data" normally next to the minutes and texts provided, could someone just clarify that for me in terms of how it will affect my day to day use?

Apologies if this is a stupid question.
 
1gb data

Your 1gb data allowance is what you will use when you do most things on your phone except calling and texting. I have a 500mb allowance but find that since most of my messing around is at home or work, both have wifi, I dont use much of my data allowance. When the phone is connected to my vodaphone network and i surf or facebook etc then I use up part of my data allowance but never use more than 200mb of my allowance. Of course if you download photos, music and vids while connected via vodaphone etc you will use the data much faster. I think its hard to know what any one person might use.
Hope that makes sense! and has helped

ps. when you are connected to wifi, say at home, then any data usage on the phone will come out of your home broadband allowance not your phone network allowance
 
What are the best screen protectors for the iP4? I don't mean the Zagg I just want a regular protector (front + back) that protects from scratches and doesn't hinder the awesome screen with a crappy mirrored finish. :)

I would like an answer to the same question. My friend got a cheapy £5 protector from a shop and that is holding up quite well so I don't know whether it is worth spending a lot more money on a more expensive one?
 
Could anyone tell me how long it took for their iPhone to be delivered from Hong Kong? It says its going to take about a week for me.

Also when I track it on the TNT website there are two deliveries on there, one to Lichfield and one to me in Cardiff. It says that the item was delivered to Lichfield on the 15th July, but then above it in a different box it says that it is currently in transit in Hong Kong. Whats that all about?
 
Anyone got a spare invite for Westfield or Regent St? Want to help an Aussie out? I don't have much longer in London and I'll have 2 reservation spots I can hand back later :)
edit
email is "apple" XatX "scottylans" X.do.tX "com"
 
Anyone have their reserved UNWANTED iphone4 near Hereford, Herefordshire.
16gb or 32gb is fine.

Thanks.
 
Cany anyone tell me where you can you get the iPhone 4 case to improve signal. I live in Glasgow, is it only from the Apple store or is there other stockists.

Carphone Warehouse seem to have plenty. Griffin - several models and Belkin.

3, they have the best price plans, nd can if you wish lower the price of the phne and get ess for your monthy fee, or you can pay about the same as everyone else and get more for your money. it al depends on how much you will use it. It also like Vodafone I believe has a 1gb download limit. Not only that but 3 have the best 3g network out there so signal loss would be very limited.

Had an iPhone4 with 3 with a couple of weeks. Seem to get 4 or 5 bars of proper 3G performance almost everywhere I go. Not just cheaper than O2 - but better coverage.

The biggest downsides are a largely useless call-center for customer service. And a very lame "content filter" on the mobile internet access.

I'm thinking about moving to 3 from O2 an go on there iPhone 4 SIM only plans. Is there any way to disable this damn content filter?:confused:
 
Belast, Victoria Str pickup letter arrived (placed at 09/07, 2 weeks). I am unable to pickup in NI, resent confirmation letter to a forum member. In case he will be unable to pickup iP4, will share reservation with someone else.

Have only 5 hours left in London before departure, chances of getting iP4 here are non-existent. Pitifulll...
