@MissUK: Not always true on the warranty front, they're only covered by a 24-month warranty by the network IF the manufacturer supports it. For example, ALL Blackberry's and ALL iPhones only carry a 12-month warranty, which is annoying...


@golemsmate: Lol, you tell me, is it a better deal? Just do the cost of an iPhone contract minus 30% and you'll have your answer

That's through your work I'm guessing? O2 have like 120 companies they give discount to employees to, it's called O2 Open (used to be Open Affinity), quite handy and very similar to our own staff plans.

Honestly? Absolutely no idea, these things happen a couple of days after we find out, so I know nothing as of yet.

What did I say a few posts up?

We don't know 'till like 2 days before you do, we know NOTHING. As far as O2 are concerned, it's a case of there is NO new iPhone, there's no more planned price drops and the rest is rumours. If anything happens, we get 48 hours notice MAX.
