After buying a shitting 3gs this week i fucking want the new one

Cant use the 3gs on o2 as its vodafone and i dont want to jailbreak.

So if i buy the phone from apple can i just go to o2 and get my sim changed to the micro one? Fucking o2 aren't selling them on no contract yet.

tesco have them for £479 pay and go. So are these fuckers locked also?

Plan was try the gs, probably like it, give to wife as sweetener then get the new one.

I've decided to just buy us both the new one instead.

Did you get on your contract? Or i think you said bought outright? Did you post the thread about cutting the sim cards? Did you do that?

I think if i go to o2 store they can replace the card there.

o2 will give you a micro sim if you need it. I popped into one tonight on the way home from buying mine and was handed the micro sim and the url to go to so you can swap the details over from one sim to another sim.

http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk

Jailbreaking is NOTHING to do with carrier unlocking.

As for SIM cutting down, there are tools you can buy to do that, or just use a stanley like I will be

I've just spent an hour playing with mine but I can't say I'm massively impressed to be honest. I might need a bit of time to gel with it.

I've been playing about with my 4 tonight and it's cracking! Much better than my 3GS. The screen is so sharp and the phone on a whole just 'feels' better quality than my old one.

Apple may get it sorted quickly

A software update won't fix the reception issues - which is a HARDWARE problem due to the stainless steel band, which is part of the antenna, shorting out when you touch it.

You'll need a new handset - one thats been built properly...

Bought a 32 gig outright, get a micro sim from O2 in store and get them to transfer yout tariff over to the micro

It's faster, has a much better screen, much better camera, forward facing camera too, HD video recording a handful of funky other stuff. If you actually care (and aren't just trolling as usual have a look here)

about this 500mb thing that people are complaining about. thats fucking LOADS.

im expecting my iphone 4 2day and with o2 i done the £40 per month, 600mins, unlimited texts, unlimited wifi, 500mb 3g.

i thought at first thats bullshit but when i rang 02 they looked at my previous months on my 3g and i only ever topped 175mb and i use mine alot.

so no dramas really,

Have gone over 600mb so far this "payment" month, with still 10 days to go. I can cut down a bit, but wouldn't cope with only 500mb limit.

For Comparison purposes:
Im with Orange and had to up my payment plan to £31.50 and for that I now get:

600 mins
Unlimited texts
Unlimited WiFi
Unlimited Internet

The cost to buy the 32gb phone in Black on that package was £219.
