Yep, the iPhone 4 with 17k posts.
Hi guys,
I have problem.
I live in Sawston, Cambridgeshire.
My college is in Cambridge so everyday I go there.
In my town I don't really need LTE or 4G, just because I just live there, I don't hang out here. At home I have 30down and 5up so that's not the case, it's all about Cambridge.
I currently have Three (3) with my iPad and iPhone. I don't carry my iPad, but I get just 3G her in Sawston, and in Cambridge it seems that Three don't work in those speeds.
So, what should I do in your opinion? Go T-Mobile and then switch to EE when it comes out or what?
Thanks!

There seems to be both 32GB and 64GB black/white in stock in most CarphoneWareHouse stores in central London according to their website.
I'm giving up on Vodafone (says shipped on Monday but will not give a tracking no) and going buy a sim free one there.

If your happy with 3 stick with them, i do believe they have bought some 4g airtime anyway so will no doubt roll that out next year but really, no need to leave 3 when you have decent speeds. i suspect EE will have high monthly charges anyway? I used to live and work sawston (well Duxford......close enough! )

How can I be happy if I'm right now at my college with 3 bars and I get just 0.5 / 0.5...
I don't want to renew contract for another two years and then get news that some carrier rolls out 4G / LTE by start of next year. I know that Three will be last to support anything here in Cambridgeshire, that's why I'm asking!
Anyone know if any Apple Stores are carrying iPhone 5 cases yet?

So....after all the issues with T Mobile last night, I recieved a text this morning saying that my phone is out for delivery today. Bloody typical as I'm in London all day so ill miss it.
Does UK Mail have local depots where you can pick up undelivered parcels from?

All the best mate and hopefully you'll get a better service now. Keep us posted.

Indeed, most of it is down to how well the operators deals with you, most of it is down to training really, or lack of it.
Anyhoo I'm glad I'm swapping from O2, mainly because of the LTE issue when it does start rolling out on other networks people will be pissed off once they realise the current iPhone 5 is on the wrong frequency. Also unlimited data on the data hungry phone will be handy. I called t-mobile yesterday had a nice chat with a sales rep, phones ordered. I like the fact you get a direct line number for your rep which O2 never did. £30 per month, unlimited everything.
Now I just need to prise all the PAC numbers off O2....joy another 40 minute wait

Did not see any in Regent street store on Tuesday. However, Carphonewarehouse have some in their bigger stores.
I got a text this morning "Your Orange order 309********** has been scanned onto the delivery van for delivery today. To track your order please visit www.ukmail.com"
But when I track it online it says its still at the delivery location (depot)
This means its at the delivery warehouse. When it's on it's way to you it will say "out for delivery"
Got my 64GB Black delivered from 3 about 5pm last night. Have to say on the Device hardware I'm delighted. Slight glint of raw aluminium around the SIM card entrance but I'm not OCD enough to let it bother me. Other than the device is perfect. I've never used a case in an iPhone to this point and i don't see that changing. I generally take care of them and have it in a front pocket with nothing else.
So glad I went for the black despite the numerous threads on scuffs. A colleague has the white and while its a lot nicer in the hand than the photos suggested, the black in my opinion is just so classy.
One issue I have had is with the wifi being very slow or not working where my 4 in the same hotspot was totally fine, but I did a restore network settings and that seems to have resolved the issue for now at least.
As for 3 speeds I have Unfortunately seen nothing like what others have the max I have seen in the middle of a town is 3.5mbps down. At heathrow just now and getting 2 only.
I wonder where you have to be to get the 10+ lol.

I've also been having intermittent wifi problems with mine.

I have a Genius appointment tonight, although typically it's working fine at the moment. I kept screen grabs of three of the tests I ran (to demonstrate time and that I was using the same Speedtest server) and I also have a list of the other results from around the same time.
So three days after cancelling my order with Orange, the phone is out for delivery. I give in.
Carphone Warehouse do unlocked iPhones??? Is this true?
If so, my dozens of reservation requests are for nothing
Thought I'd pop into Carphone warehouse to have a butchers. Didn't realise they're not on sale outside the Apple stores till next week. They did have a demo model that one of them was walking around with. I was only really interested in seeing how it looked and felt with the new size. I don't like it. If they were going to resize it I think they aught to have given it a bit of extra widith as well or instead of height because we read text going horizontal so need more extra space going that way esp. as, from what I can tell, both Safari and Chrome apps don't have text flow which Android does and is along with that Yellow 'Other' stuff clogging up my memory the only thing I've not liked about my iphone so far. I've always though the iphone up to iphone 4 s was the optimum size for a mobile in regards to it feeeling comfortable in your hand and fitting in your pocket so I'm hoping they revert back to the old size by the time I want to upgrade.
You don't have to deal with O2, you can also deal with Apple....they will not send you to O2 if you would rather deal with them instead.
If they will sell you one? Online sure you can buy sim free but rang CPW yesterday and one iPhone 5 in stock. Wouldn't accept my 700 quid for it. Said they only do contracts in store. Not to mention you pay full price for sim free but it will lock to the network of the sim that first gets inserted. Yes. Full price, sim free but they will lock. I gave up and will just wait a month from apple. At least it will be fully unlocked.

Unlocked until you insert first SIM card and then it locks to that provider. Even though you pay full price. I'm sticking with Apple.
It says in the small print on the site.
