here you go

O2 and cpw to drop iPhone price by £100 until 1st June

unfortunately the 16gb iphone price is unchanged and I'm not sure if 8gb will be enough for ofiaich as he is asking for 16 or 32gb, but worth a mention anyway, just in case

Thanks everyone !

I will check out the 8gig price £169 but that is on a contract isn't it ?

I am on Vodafone for another 7 months. I still use my TyTn II with a 8 gig card in it and have a spare 6 gig card in my pocket.

@masseur! if you are near to TCR next Friday, maybe we can have a coffee somewhere !

no, you pay the £169 and the iphone is yours. just use ziphone to activate, unlock and jailbreak it and you can then use it as an ipod touch, or as a phone too if you really fancy. nothing more to pay

hi masseur !

sounds good! Unlocked so I can use any sim ! I will check it out tomorrow !

I know the iPhone and iPod Touch have 'cool factors' but I still wonder about the iPod 160gig Classic...

edit ! just remembered ! iPhone doesn't have Japanese language as an option! iPod Touch does....

Hi haynesycop!

OK So I can synch it with my PC's Outlook, I can get all my contacts and appointments in Japanese?

OK Found the answer in the iPhone PDF!

...Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to activate iPhone and sync iPhone with your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and bookmarks on your computer.
A single checkmark in “Set Up Your iPhone” syncs all these items automatically

@ofiaich: use the new winpwn software from the iphonedev team. Here is a link to it: http://www.winpwn.com/index.php/Main_Page

Its a port of the original one for macosx. Lets you unlock, change the boot screen, add custom software payloads, and even make your own restore packages that itunes thinks are original.

@haynesycop! not yet! Been away for a few days.

I can't decide whether to go for a 32 gig iPod Touch or a 160gig Classic.

I know the Touch has that cool factor!

@Johnex thanks for that! I am completely new to this, so that procedure looks a bit scary !

I can see there is a forum on that site so I willl have a read !

slow to make a decision Ofiaich

Because the 32gb touch is too expensive and for watching videos the extra screen is pointless.

@masseur - thanks for the link! I see the 32 gig Touch here for £295.45

and here for £299.95.

E-Buyer is just a 45 minute drive from me! I wonder if they allow collection !

@thomas93 - but surely the small screen on the Classic doesn't give a good viewing experience as compared with a larger screen ?

Touch - 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display
480-by-320-pixel resolution at 163 pixels per inch

Classic - 2.5-inch (diagonal) colour LCD with LED backlight
320-by-240-pixel resolution at 163 pixels per inch

I guess the Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) on the Touch makes it more desirable for me!
