This has shown that the so called credit crunch hasn't affected iphone sales in any way or has it?

Hi can anyone tell me if the iPhone 3GS has a TFT screen? I have been trying google but can't find the info anywhere 
Just want to know as it means I can see it in sunlight. This will prove important with the Tom Tom holder and app on a sunny day.
all iphone models screens are superb under sunlight...

@apolloa, get it tomorrow anyway. don't wait! you can soon call O2 with your pac code as soon as it arrives
Well I took your advice, I called Orange and got my PAC code, one problem today though. Three O2 shops near me and not ONE of them had the white PAYG 16GB model in stock!!!!!!!! haha, waiting till Thursday I hope now......
Any news on when Carphone Warehouse will get PAYG in? I'm assuming that as it's still not on the website is won't be any time soon?
Thanks ares.

is there no Apple store near you?
anyway... what A2DP headset are people using? I like the new included headset with volume control but would now prefer a BT headset and have not used one since the  DS970

Haha, unfortunately not, the nearest Apple store is 60 miles away, my nearest O2 is 12 miles! I would order it online but even that say's ships in 2 day's, that's not worth it as that's Friday or later when I get it. I can wait though, just.
The Carphone Warehouse is in the same town as my nearest O2 but seeing as they don't have PAYG yet that's a moot point anyway. |

I'm not sure what your point is, but don't forget there was also a 4gb version too

Well done that man the 4Gb iPhone!
My point is Apples definition of what a cutting edge device is seems to change with increasing regularity and the damn thing still trails in the wake of the competition! only my HO but I know a lot of people who bought into the iPhone concept and all of them feel they were mugged, BUT I am certain we shall be told we are of course wrong! But I suppose that interface is worth all the iPhones other failings right! BTW why do so many of my mates moan about their iPhones?

Sorry guys haven't been following the thread. Just wondering if the Jailbreak for 3G S for windows is available now? I find my iPhone extremely boring without the jailbreak therefore I'm still using the 2nd gen iPhone since it has all the apps. I really want to jailbreak my 3g s ASAP!!

Right I've got a few more niggles that have cropped up!!! 
Can you turn off the network lost pop up? A lot of my mates live in villages with little to no signal and they have installed signal blockers (aparently, there isn't any signal in my classroom anyway) at college so it gets rather irritating!
Also RE bluetooth. My car headunit is a BT handsfree and A2DP compatible device. It used to work in the following way (this is with recent A2DP compatible Sony Ericssons):
Turn the ignition on and the phone auto connects
If a call comes in answer it on the headunit or phone and it will come through the car speakers.
Go to BT audio as the source (on headunit) and press pause twice (so pause then play) and it will play from wherever it was last.
Now with the iPhone 3G S
Turn the ignition on and the phone auto connects
If a call comes in answer it on the headunit and nothing happens. Answer on the phone and it will come through the phones speakers. You have to tap audio something or other and select the BT device.
Go to BT audio as the source (on headunit) and press pause twice (so pause then play) and nothing happens. You have to start the ipod and play your music from the phone. NONE of the controls on the headunit work with the phone. Next, back, play, pause nothing!
As you can imagine the headunit wasn't massively cheap so it's quite irritating!!! Along with the fact that handsfree is no longer handsfree! You have to do most on the phone!

What's the battery life been like for you guys? Especially for those of you coming from a 3G... much improvement or much of a muchness?

the first few days it wasn't good, but that was probably a mixture of me using it more heavily and it being a new battery
it seems to have settled down now and is definitly giving more life than the 3G, but I wouldn't yet say the difference is significant
