Pav Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Apple iPhone is coming out in the States in June and it will be only available on one network - Cingular. There is no exact date of it appearing on shelves in UK yet but rumour is November (in time for Christmas) and costing something close to PS3 (!!!!!). Will they go for just one network provider or not? Will it be free on contract? It looks like amazing piece of overpriced kit. Apple iPhone What do you think?

That's what I thought...3 seems to be a little bit more advanced in providing interactive content and music than the competitors.

Well i have just moved from 3 to o2....after 5 new handsets which were all faulty i had to get ofcom onto them to get them to sort the problem out ....and this is not a racist statement,but them guys in india are completey useless....very polite and eager to help buy frankley they are no help at all..the guys in india coupled with a dyer network..bad combination One tip if you want anything done try to speak to someone in scotland the guys there seem a little more switched on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integrafire Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Tell me about it. I got on the 3 network and used it for a month before consigning it to the draw. It doesn't roam very well and when you switch from 3g to 2g in bed areas it drops the call. I rung india to ask for help and they advised trying my sim card in another phone. I asked if they were going to provide one and they said no. I then asked where was i going to get aforementioned phone and they asked if i had a spare one lying around at home. I will just use this one i have pulled out of my ass. Useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've rang 3 helpdesk in India in the past to ask how much it costs me to post photos from my phone to google blog (build in feature in Sony K800i phone), they asked me what cable I use to connect the phone to the internet!!!!! Do'h! After 10 minutes of explaining that it is not bluetooth I am trying to use they told me that it's FREE when in fact it isn't. Apart from that I still got good experience using 3. Anyway....Apple iPhone.....anyone know anything about UK relaease date?

MacDust Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 i dont think 3 will get it becuase its not a 3g phone unless they are going to add that to the uk/euro model. i think t-mobile or o2 will get it. im on 3 at the moment and my contract ends in march next year probally get the iphone then or at end of january. and the release date is june i think. ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
