yea i phoned orange and they told me it will be released in november, but they dont know what price tag it will be on yet, probary the same as o2, we will have to wait and see, i hope they do come out thats why i ve not bought one on o2.

 

Cool! I wish it was out when I got ny N97 with Orange... Bugger. If I accidentally damagae my insured phone near the time, do I get a replacement of my choice?

Benni.

 

I have registered as really like these

 

You get a like for like replacement as far as im aware, thats all they offered me when mine had a welding accident

 

Vodafone too!

The piece of shit Nokia N97 i have, will be feeling the full force of a toyo 888 ASAP!

 

I meant to post on that thread you started about the Orange price hikes. I rang them [2 weeks late ] and they said they weren't going ahead with the price rise, cheers for the info

I'm assured my issue of no network coverage will be sorted by early next year as they start to share the T-Mobile masts. Could be bullshit but my contract isn't out until April so will wait and see!

 

Hope they offer some decent contracts as the ones O2 offer with the iphone are crap!

 

you and that fucking phone are u running v12 firmware, updated eveything via the nokia software updater?

mine works perfectly

 

Gutted! It won't be falling in the bath then. LOL! @ Welding accident.

Benni.

 

I bet they are bracing themselves for a load of people doing that as soon as the iPhone comes out, bet there will be a peak in claims from people trying it on!

To quote goldie looking chain:
Welders dont kill phones, idiots not being careful with seam sealer do

 

Yip! Did it Saturday night mate STILL wont work

You about tonight mate?

 

lol u taken it to the nokia repair centre yet?

will be home about 9.30pm

 

Only reason I didn't get the iphone last year is because O2 treated me and my mrs like cunts in the past, so I stuck with vodafone and my disappointing n96.

Orange signal round here isn't the best which would put me off using them for an iphone, lets hope it improves when they merge with t-mobile!

 

Orange and T-Mobile both have substandard indoor coverage compared to O2 and Vodafone due to them both being stuck on an 1800Mhz carrier frequency which lacks the pentetrative ability of the others with their 900Mhz carrier, so O2 and Voda are always going to win for coverage realistically.

When you look at the stats for coverage they are all outdoor readings, but indoor readings are often more relevent these days for mobiles.

 

anyone got any idea when voda are releasing the iphone for sale?

 

Early next year apparently.

 

orange are releasing the iphone on november 10th, i ve ordered mine will have it on the release date,

 

what are they doing about internet though? as im on orange at minute and i wanted a bolt on style thing for unlimited internet access and all they can offer me is weekend and evenings, which is when im at home and i dont need it!

 

its unlimited internet and wifi

 

Wifi unlimited. Internet 250mb month I heard

 

If you hav 3 faults the same they are obliged to offer u a different phone

I now hav 2 faults recorded the same on my bluberry

 

no its unlimted on the internet as well

 

pricing plans here

* Separate Fair Usage policies of 750MB / month apply to both BT Openzone Wi-Fi and Mobile Internet Browsing.

better off sticking to o2 if you ask me !

 

If you get one make sure its insured especially on a 24 month contract because there only good for about 500 charges on average and they need to be charged everyday mine is only about 6 months old as it was a replacement for a faulty one i had and the battery is getting worse apart from that they are really so i would believe the hype there really is an ap for everything there is even one that measures bhp etc the g-force on the accelerometer etc and when tested against a stand alone unit it came out better and it was only about 3bhp out compared to a real rolling road printout carried out before the test i cant remeber what its called i'll find out and let you know

 

Er, identical to O2 so not sure how O2 is better?

 

im having mine on the 10th november its the 32 gig i had to pay Ł96 for the phone and go on the 24 month contract they said i will need insurance for it at Ł12 month is anybody else having the same deal?

 

is the iphone comming out on t-mobile ???

 

i think it will be out on t mobile but it will be some time next year and on vodaphone aswell it said that in one of the mobile phone mags

 

Was in town at the Orange shop today and they have a leaflet with price plans which are different to the current Dolphin/Whale/Fatbloke ones they currently have.

First, the iPhones are completely FREE on pay monthly although all are 24 month plans.

ALL PLANS COME WITH UNLIMITED BROWSING VIA THE NETWORK AND WIFI HOTSPOTS.

You can get the iPhone 3G 8GB on plan 30 [Ł29.36/month 150 minutes, 250 texts] and plan 35 [Ł34.26/month 600 minutes, 500 texts]

You can get the iPhone 3GS 16GB on plan 45 [Ł44.04/month 1200 minutes, 500 texts]

Then you can get the iPhone 3GS 32GB on plan 75 [Ł73.40/month 3000 minutes, 500 texts] and plan 125 [Ł122.34/month Unlimited minutes, Unlimited texts]

To use the iPhone to get mobile broadband on a laptop it's Ł4.89/month for 500MB or Ł14.68 for 3GB

They're doing an unlimited text bundle for Ł7.34/month but I would have thght if you're an old customer you could moan and get this for free!

On pay as you go, th cheapest is Ł333 for an 8GB 3G when buying a Ł50 top-up to the most expensive being Ł539 for a 32GB 3GS when bought with a Ł10 top up.

You get 12 months free browsing with Pay as You go.

HTH and roll on Jan 10th when I'm ready for an upgrade!
