Another iPhone thread.......
I've currently got a 3GS 16gb and obviously fancy the new one. Going by what I can see on the 02 website I can upgrade early for £20 a month for any months outstanding on my current contract. Which equates to £300!!
02 recycle will then give me £228 for my 3GS........ Which means a new iPhone 4 for the princely sum of £72!! Obviously on a new 18 month contract like I'm already on.
This is how I understand it, which seems GREAT to me! Am I missing something? Or does anyone know something I don't?

I'm planning on selling my iPhone but theres no way I'd sell to o2 for that price. You should get closer to the £300 mark depending on condition of the phone and if its offically unlocked. I wont be excepting anything less than £300 for my iPhone but then again mine is only 3 months old and had screen protector and case on from day 1 so its still in new condition.

I noticed that bud, but cant find anywhere that tells you what that ultimately limits you to? From what I have read I'd say i'm no way near that mark anyway!!

Team HOTHOT!
Be careful with o2 and the data pack as when the Iphone4 is launched O2 are scrapping "unlimited" tarriffs and giving you the option of 500 meg or 1 gig a month data allowance

So, £20 x 15 to pay off existing contract = £300
Plus £300 for the new phone = £600
Minus the £228 that they will give you for your old phone = £372 you'll have to shell out!
You've forgotten that you will have to actually pay for the handset!
Im quite lucky in that i only have 5 months left of my contract, so only £100 to pay off the contract then £300 for the phone. Ive just sold my 3GS for £460 on ebay which has paid for it all!

They were all capped anyway, at least Orange is due to the fair use policy. What's unfair about using over 500mb i don't know.
But, why is the handset £300? I only paid 70 for my 3GS on a 24 month last November, are O2 not subsidising when you upgrade early?

When the 3GS came out on the release date, the 19th June last year it cost me £30 to end my contract and £299 for the handset, on a 18 month contract. It woulda been cheaper to upgrade in November as IIRC thats when Orange, etc got their hands on the iphone, so prices had to be reduced to compete.

why not sell your 3GS privately (avforums)
Buy an iPhone 4 outright (about £449 to £499)
Cut your current sim down to micro sim style
fit in the new iPhone 4 and hey presto, mike rainbird is your nans left saggy breast!
The handset for a new contract will be about £150 NOT £300

you're in a contract for a reason! the buy out option is so you can get OUT of your contract only
you will not get any part of any new iphone for free
you will pay the same as everyone else
People spending £100 plus to end their contracts early are twats imo.....

Cut your current sim down to micro sim style Or you could just fill out this form here and register your interest and get a micro sim sent out for free.

The handset for a new contract will be about £150 NOT £300 As i said, last year to upgrade to a 3GS 32Gb on O2, it was £299

I just cant understand why you would buy these ones off Ebay for £650+, when you can just jump onto apple online and preorder it yourself and pay £499 or £599??

a) the buyer is a TWAT paying 77 more than from apple
b) the seller is an even bigger TWAT. Sale px £677. Ebay take 10%. Take away (67.7) leaves £609.3 retail is £599! leaves him with £10.30 profit!
Add listing fees and if paid by paypal, their cut also. He will be DOWN on the deal
fucking spastics!
