re: The iPhone thread
I've been sending and recieving MMS messages since I installed 3.0 last wednesday evening.
As soon as I installed it I got the MMS from 1010 letting me know it was set up.

On eBay or somewhere, it may fetch even more.

Why would they buy out the contract?

Well IIRC the sim is tied to the phone or vise versa so the sim wouldn't be much use, I'm assuming I'm wrong then ?

re: The iPhone thread
I don't think they're actually tied together, it's simply that the iPhone requires an O2 SIM.
e.g Someone could sell their 3G, keep their SIM, then buy a PAYG 3GS and put their original SIM in that. The person who bought the 3G could then put their own contract or PAYG SIM in it, so long as it was an O2 SIM.

Pay Monthly customers can place their existing iPhone 3G sim card into the iPhone 3G S and receive all the latest functionality. Customers must continue to pay for their existing Pay Monthly tariff.

I can't see any reason why CPW/O2 would pay off the rest of someone's contract - the 3G was subsidised, and the 3GS is subsidised. Paying off someone's contract, or letting them off early, means losing money.

re: The iPhone thread
A little heads-up for our non-O2 iPhone bearing members.
It appears that the iPhone Dev team have cracked 3.0 and it works on any iPhone (including 3GS) and baseband. I'm waiting for confirmation from them, but seems to be the case pieceing together statements.
The unlock, ultrasn0w, should be available Friday. If you just need to jailbreak, it will be available straight after Apple start pushing the update.
Remember ONLY trust the iPhone Dev team's official site (quickpwn.com etc AREN'T anything to do with iPhone Dev Team). They have a twitter account for updates: @MuscleNerd and he is answering questions too :noworthy:

re: The iPhone thread
6pm tonight seems to be favourite. Just been for a quick nosey round the apple discussions forum and its full of people crying it wasnt released at 00:00.01s
Swiftly followed by the " i stayed up all night hammered the refresh key and it isnt out yet!!!!111" crowd.
Bless 'em. So it looks like , when it does appear , the update servers are going to melt again.
Weekend it is

re: The iPhone thread
I read that the update has now been put back to the 18th due to some last minute 'fixes'. But I also heard that does not affect Europe so not sure how true it is or not

Apparently Apple have changed the dates on SOME international sites to the 18th to reflect that the update will be released on 17th June in the US.. Of course, when it's the 17th in the US, it will be the 18th in other countries.
