But it would take a lot for me to get one, and to be honest I don't think I'd consider it because it's a phone. I like to put something in my pocket and forget about it and not pay something so over priced that I'd be worrying about it all the time.

I did see a comical advert where it was the N95 vs the Iphone, and in the end they preferred their own oldie types because it's basically all you want is a phone and a much more simpler thing to use at the end of the day.

Imagine 2 weeks after paying out "Oh my God !! I've got a scratch on it".

that clip was on the beeb website

I've just got one and I'll let you know what it's like after I stop drooling.

I'll have you know my wrist action is second to none

Anyway, it's great. Browsing full webpages on a bog standard O2 connection is a bit slow but any of the mobile pages seem to fly and once a page is loaded (BBC News etc.) actually reading them in full is superb.
Getting it activated wasn't too bad, a bit slow on the O2 side but now it's done.

Wi-Fi, iTunes, video and everything else is so easy to use it makes normal phones seem a bit bland and boring.

It would of been nice to have 3G on it and possibly GPS but right now I'm very happy.

whats the virtual keyboard like......easy to use?

Got one also, just got back in as we went to o2 at 6.02 and they don't take solo, so we then went to Carephone warehouse who's chip and pin systems crashed.

*cry*

So we where going for a Chinese any way in Kendal so we had it and I convinced Claire we should nip back and it went straight through.

So I-tunes is installing.

Yep, dead simple. After a couple of goes I've found it really easy to use. And the SMS is a bit like Gmail with a conversation instead of standalone texts.

DocDutch · 09-11-2007, 22:14

the wifi is it a 802.11g or 802.11b network? if G then I might be tempted soon ish

Derek · 09-11-2007, 22:18

G. Safari is very nippy on Wi-Fi as well.

The more I use it the better it gets. Zooming in and out of webpages is dead easy after a while and it's by far the best mobile browsing device I've used. Just a pity it's not 3G...

handyman · 09-11-2007, 23:00

loving it :-)

Posting from it now.

@bopdude- I'll be in teesside on Friday I'f you want a gander.

If your already on O2, Do you need to buy via O2 over the phone or can you get an iPhone at an apple store and simply transfer to the new contract via iTunes or over the phone?

During the activation it asked if you wanted to swap over an existing contract so I assume you can just buy the phone and do that.

**Damien** · 10-11-2007, 19:25

At that stage do they do a credit check?

Do you even have one if your moving a contract over?

How you have had it for a while, how are you liking it?
