It all depends on the data rates for me. If they do the free data rates on the contract like they do in America it would be cool. I imagine Apple would have pushed for it to make the iPhone actually work...

I can't see it, as Matt says, O2's data rates are way to expensive, that was one reason, well, the main reason I got rid of the EXEC and went back to the II and IIi, the page size on the EXEC was coming in at about 200 kb per page, compared to about 16 kb per page on the II 's, that was the difference between the QVGA & VGA screens AFAIK. So as you can imagine, the bills soon got sky high :(

Yes but data is what the iPhone is all about, it is completely useless for half more of its features if datas expensive. Apple will want to sell a lot of iPhones as will O2. They need cheap data rates to do that...

If they do lower the rates, or make it a flat Vodafone stylee web 'n' walk type package, then I think it will sway a lot of peoples opinions when it comes to upgrade time :tu:

Indeed, the only way a iPhone will appeal to me is if the data is free/flat rate (obviously with a higher priced contract).

I'd love to think those tariffs are available on other phones, but I can't see it :(

Nope, Apple properly forced it on them. It's also not 3G

It will be on over phones!

Q: Unlimited data packages: will those go to other contracts as well?

Matthew: "On 1st October we'll be rolling those out for all out customers."
Steve: "it's the future."

Yeah yeah - the great unlimited swindle again....

No doubt there will be a FUP involved...

Well, not that I can afford one right at the moment, but O2's network is useless in and around my house so I won't be getting one. :sulk:
