Not currently, as only O2 sim support is possible. Even when it is eventually hacked you'll only get GPRS, as Edge is not supported on t-mobile. Best stick with O2's official excellent value tariffs.

![]() If you get the iPhone it has to come from O2 which you have to sign up to a O2 tariff for 12-18 months, so why would you then want to put another sim card in there and pay for two? |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() £35/month really is excellent for unlimited data+WiFi and easily as good as any other providers tariffs. I would have already (after 2 weeks) spent £75+ on my old tariff. Just because it doesn't suit you doesn't make it a bad tariff, perhaps you are not the target market? |

there is very little edge support in the uk. simply because we have 3G.

Tmobile's Flext 35 with WnW Pro easily wipes the floor with anything o2 can come up with. I didn't say your tariff was bad - but calling it 'excellent value' certainly gave me a warm chuckle on a cold night.
Anyway, we agree on 'ok' value, although I too prefer t-mobile to be honest.

The problem is that Apple is a true American company, in the sense that it simply ignores other countries. Who cares that 3G is big here (and even bigger in Japan - in fact it's the only network type they use) - as far as Apple is concerned, it's only America (where 3G is practically unheard of) that counts.
And for that reason alone I won't be touching it. |

That's a bit cutting your nose to spite your face. I agree that large American corporations can't see beyond their own noses, but the fact is (as I have frequently argued in this forum) the iPhone is eminently usable in this country and indeed, even in it's American incarnation, is head and shoulders above everything else that it seems stupid to rule it out "because it's American".

Sure it look pretty but as for functionality, it soon wears off. It's basically the Kate Moss of phones - great to look at but otherwise pointless.
1. Find a contact and dial the number 2. Go to a url in an email 3. Browse the web for some information 4. Send a long text message 5. Download the last five episodes of a podcast 6. Find a photo from 500 in a photo library without knowing it's name I've not even included weather, stocks or Youtube (which are all functions I use) because that would be unfair on the N95 as the iPhone has those functions built right in to the home screen. If that isn't functionality, then I don't know what is. OK the iPhone doesn't do video, MMS, or GPS. The first two of those I never do with a phone, the last is admittedly one advantage of the N95 although with it's small screen I question the usefulness of GPS on it. I am happy in the meantime to wait for iPhone 3rd party apps and have a separate keyfob GPS. |

I'm fairly sure I'd take you you on in such a race with my N95 in most of those (especially with browsing the web - my N95 has HSDPA giving me speeds of around 1mb - your iPhone has the rather flatulent EDGE).
However I KNOW I'd take you on with all of those with my Vario 2. |

Now this is laughable. I just tried this myself. The ONLY one I couldn't beat the iPhone on (using my N95) was number 5. My Pearl was even faster than the N95 on points 1, 2 &4.

I have about 800 contacts in my contacts database. Please tell me what key sequence on the N95 is quicker than two taps and one flick to get to any arbitrary name.
What you have bought tdenson is a phone, not a plastic handheld deity. |

Why don't you answer my question and tell me the key sequence rather than deflect it with ridicule.
Tap the key with the first letter of the contacts name on it. Tap the key with the second letter of the contacts name on it. 3 taps, no scrolling. Now seeing as fast, intuitive access to your massive list of contacts is vital are you going to be buying a Blackberry seeing as it does it more efficiently than your iPhone? |
