I use multiflow with single home tap to invoke, works very well, just wish I had more memory on this 3G...

So, as I'm new to the world of contract phones (I've had my 3GS for a year and I'm on a 2-year contract), how does upgrading work? I'm toying with the idea of shelling out for the new iPhone 4, depending on how much it costs - so how much did 3G users have to pony up to get a 3GS when it came out? Did they have to pay the full, unsubsidised price for the handset, £600-odd, or was it more reasonably-priced than that for current subscribers? And... do I actually own my phone yet, or does that not happen until next year? Can I flog my current handset on eBay to scare up the funds to upgrade?

You do own the phone, they dont care if its actually the phone you are using to connect to the network, once you pay the bill.

I walked into Carphone Warehouse, had 6 months left on my 18 month contract, gave them £100 + my old 3G and walked out with a 3GS and a new 18 month contract.
I guess you could flog it, upgrade deals will be announced soon.

Oh, right. 'Cause I thought the whole point of only paying £170-odd for the handset and then £xx a month on the contact was that you're part-paying for the handset over 18 months or 2 years. Which would, presumably, mean that you don't actually own the handset until the contract period is up.
But if they don't give a shit, then eBay here I come!

Ah, well if that's the sort of figures we're talking about, then I'll just do something similar. Well, apart from the fact that I've got a year on my contract.
Blimey - was that their deal, £100 + £300 worth of handset? Eck!

I'm on a £45/month contract. So paid nothing for the handset (obviously I know the cost is built into the contract but I use nearly all my texts/call allowance these days). I also had 6 months left on my contract... I just wanted the new one. Will hopefully do the same this time...

Init, giving up a handset you've effectively paid for by then. Ouch.
I hope I can get the new phone from T-mobile (contract up by August) and get my old handset unlocked or at least transfer it to Ms S.

Ah, I see. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the trade-in deals are like for me....
Ah yeah, I remember now. The deals on the 3G > 3GS upgrade were mean.
Back on the 2G > 3G, they were positively generous. I kept my 2G and paid nothing, just signed a new contract.
This time I should be out of contract, so hopefully not much handset cost.

Two months ago T-mobile offered me an upgrade to the 3GS for €89 plus another 2 year contract. I refused (waiting on the 4G), a month later they were offering new customers the 3GS for 29.99 with two year contract. The jokers.
I can't say I'm holding out for anything special here, I just wish I had a choice of carriers, I'd like to leave T-mobile as they are shit.

In what way? O2 were shit in terms of reception up until early this year but now I find it's great and on par with my 3G experience of T Mobile...

Thats certainly not my experience.

Which makes them infinitely better than Orange. God, I miss O2... I get sod all data signal from about New Cross to Farringdon with Orange. The vast majority of the time I need a data connection is on my commute and that bit of my commute takes 40 mins or so. Very disappointed.

I hated T Mobile with a passion, but I've had loads of sporadic problems connecting in central London via o2, and travelling to south Wales on the train recently left me without a data signal for vast chunks of the journey - something that never happened on T Mobile.

Meh, I got off the bike in the godforsaken middle of nowhere on Saturday, whipped out the phone and used Google maps to find the road I was looking for. At nice, fast speed.
Whereas, my T Mobile phones (oh, those were dark days) had problems making so much as a simple phone call. Anywhere.

Not here in Holland they ain't - terrible coverage and service (though that could just be a dutch thing). Not sure if we have an o2... Vodafone were the best but the most expensive. No mention of iphone 4s anywhere here yet...

Odd I never have any problems in Central London, there's a two minute black spot somewhere in Canary Wharf though. I've traveled out west to Bristol and Cardiff a good few times and not had any real issues...
