Not sure on whether to keep the o2 one....or send it back and get a sim free fully unlocked model.
I think the o2 deals good with the unlimited data ..its just the 18 month contract.
Are you keeping yours masseur?

not sure yet but its looking likely. if so then I'll make do until either installer is available on app shop (probably unlikely) or the easy jailbreak (and unlock) comes along in which case I guess we'll have the best of both worlds

The only problem with unlocking them yourself is when a new firmware update comes out....you need to wait for a new unlock option for the new firmware.
but with a factory unlocked ....you can update without any problems as soon as its avalable.
Thats the only reason why id prefer a factory unlocked handset really....plus no 18month contract.

Maybe so, but lets put the maths together... Factory unlocked iPhone = £600 (odd) and NO minutes, texts etc On top of the 600 figure you have to add your additional line rental. That then would render the cost of the package extortionately over priced!!!
O2 contract and 16gb = £700 (odd) BUT with minutes, txts etc

Im on the fence about this, Blackberry Bold or iPhone 3G. Pro's and cons really are that the BB has a very good tarriff for when I will be travelling (£20 a month extra for unlimited browsing and email international).
Been an avid Mac user, I love the simplicity of the iPhone and only got rid of the original because of the lack of 3G, but the free applications, and the fact everyone is developing for the iphone is a real plus point. I hate that you have to pay for themes and 98% of apps on the Blackberry, and so yes here I stand confused.com
We will see how impulse gets the best of me in the coming weeks.

Masseur I thought you seemed abit impatient if you ask me remember it's only a phone and theres better things out there to get excited about

Do you think o2 will ever provide an unlock code one you come to the end of your contract ?
As anyone heard if this will be possible with the 1st gen?

lol and I bet it's gonna cost £399.99 on PAYG then..
regarding unlocking I think you would have to phone 02 themselves and ask them about it or wait for a 02 advisor to findout on here

have you got the older iPhone already?
I think they may let you trade in on that if you have it,
but something cheap I doubt there gonna knock much off
maybe a N95-2 who knows
