iplayer in bed sounds pretty good really
There's also a way around so you download the iPlayer videos for other devices. Check the iPlayer thread for details...
The battery needs charging on mine at the end of each day after about 20 minutes of playing music and 2 minutes of calling.
I'm massively disappointed.

That sounds like a faulty unit to me.
I think I might have voided the Apple warranty by having it unlocked from AT&T. I've been using a t-mobile sim since the day I bought it. I'd look like an absolute moron if I were to walk into an Apple store and be told I had voided my warranty after a week of ownership
I guess I'll have to make do.
sounds totally duff. I was annoyed when mine went down from seven hours use to about four-ish.

Its a duff unit... You might be able to Restore it to 2.0, though...

After Friday's poor battery life, I drained the battery right down and charged it twice. Haven't charged it since Sunday 2pm, and it's still 4/5 full, with about 20 mins voice calls, a half hour of web browsing a bit of GPS, and a half hour of iplayer at bedtime...
Seems like conditioning the battery a bit helps... I'd only had it a day on Thursday.
We'll see how it gets on.

Bought one - having a play.
One annoyance I have found is that, when I plug it into docking stations it tells me the accessory isn't supported and refuses to charge while it is in the dock - although it does play. This is the case on: Denon S52, a griffin FM transmitter and a JBL sound dock
have you tried putting it in flight mode?

Agree it's nice. It's. Faster than contacts itself (I have a couple of thousand), but it still only searches names and not notes or numbers

What's that then?

O2 website says 16gb arriving on the 25th. This Friday.
I'll be asking how many the store got. If it's more than the 3 they got on launch day then the proof is conclusive.

Anyone else having problems with the old iPhone since the firmware update? I hardly ever get EDGE now, just a GPRS signal and the screen has become less responsive.

If that's what it takes to get Edge back then I'll do the same. You thinking of upgrading to the newer model?

Oh I dont know, if they didnt have the firmware ready till very shortly before launch, it would have caused some supply issues. But yeah, artificial scarcity does seem to be a marketing technique these days.
Meanwhile fresh rumors about Steve Jobs health have not helped Apple's share price:

I'm still trying to work out this one. By stifling shipments you sell more...? Can you explain in greater detail...? Dunno about you but because the 3G iPhone is quite rare I'm not going to buy until its less hassle getting one.
Isn't an easier + simple (Occams Razor) explanation that they don't have many units (due to a rush-job) and are just trying to make as many as they can go around...
Hmm... Profits up 31 %, but the CEO looking a bit peaky. Obviously course for doom'n'gloom. Though pundits have to write traffic generating stories though...

You've never heard of the marketing process of artificially restricting supply to create demand?
http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/04/19/we-want-a-wii-still/
That's a link to a blog which is trying determine the reason for Nintendo not being able to satisfy demand. If you read further, it appears that Nintendo were producing them as fast as possible at the time.
Apple have a web page that shows the status of shipments, so I don't buy the argument that people will buy something while they're in the Apple store. When I was looking for a Wii, I just called around. Once I was in a store and they didn't have it so I went to the next store on the list...
So, I'd still go with Occams Razor with the iPhone, even though Big Evil Apple stopping shipments sounds more interesting.

*spots the HIGNFY allegedly
*Seems like stock will be hitting stores on Thursday now.
Carphone Warehouse will be emailing people who email their retail store email accounts.
O2 said they'd phone me.
No news though of how many and when on those days stock will arrive. i may have to slip away from work and then make up the difference as waiting till home time or lunchtime is likely to lead to disappointment i think.
