Dunno if anyones interested, but thats the backdoor apple reserve address...... it still works even tho the store itself is down.
 
Mine is £120 as my Contract ends in Jan. They will however, give me £245 for my 3GS under their recycle scheme.

Reasonably sure they mean "we won't charge you to upgrade", not "we'll give you a free handset", though.

Fully expecting the phone to be £250.

Recycle suggests £120 for my BROKEN 3G... I'm interested to see if anyone gets back what o2 are quoting from recycle. You send the phone, they offer you ££. If you don't accept their offer, you pay them to return your phone... sounds... well.
 
The pricing is certainly keen enough to entice their target market to dip into their pockets for an early upgrade. It's a smart piece of marketing too, creating an early buzz about the product.

I suspect if I'd asked about an early Palm upgrade, they would have LOLd in my face.
 
Early upgrade will cost me £380. Not gonna happen when I can get a PAYG 16GB for £480.

I need to read more into this but currently I have unlimited data, texts and 1000 minutes per month for £35 on O2. Seems new contracts and upgrades will get a data cap. So if I pick up a PAYG, sell the 3GS and keep current contract I will be better off?

You will be until they send you the change of terms where by you can either cancel or accept.
 
Swapped my Desire for a 3GS. It's good to be back :)

The screen is weak, the browser is limited, the camera is crap.... but.... it just works. And it's extremely usable. Simple as that really.

Was constantly having to correct my typing on the Desire. And it slowed to a crawl at times. The app store was rubbish and the lack of apps was annoying.
 
I've been filling my app boots from Free App a day. Todays is something I shall use over the glastonbury period to refine my friends pictures.. hehe
 
Chris, get icab mobile, it's a proper browser with tabs and things, but renders and scrolls just as well as safari

I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised by how good the Android's app store is - just about everything I need is there!

What is frustrating is the lack of a decent calendar/agenda app. The one in the iPhone is really rubbish and the HTC's is only marginally better - and it's the same story for all the third party apps I've seen on all platforms.

Why is it still so hard for someone to produce the kind of versatile calendar apps that Palm had five years ago?

Agendus - which was ace on the Palm - has been thoroughly crippled by Apple's restrictions, and CalendarGoo on the iPhone was also very disappointing.

They have removed those restrictions with iOS4

If someone comes up with a proper calendar/scheduling app with full desktop support for the iPhone, then I may find myself being willingly pulled right back into the iBorg!

It's a bit of a weird situation than despite all the lovely bells and whistles of my recent phones, they're all a bit crap compared to what I had on my Treo for diary functions - and it's the one thing I need more than anything else.
