I wonder what else it will have other than a rumoured 5MP camera...

My contract is up in June/July...


I've got 18 months left but I am seriously considering a move from 02, they only reason I havn't is because everything I know, literally is on 02 and saves me a fotune with the bolt-ons

Is there an app like Tapa Talk that cable forum use? If not can they use Tapa Talk?

Speaking of o2 iPhones - does anyone know how long it will be before my iPhone (3g pay as you go) will take before it's unlocked, they took the cash off the o2 sim yesterday but when I checked it was still locked last night. I've reset it back to 3.0.0 so it's factory fresh and left the o2 sim in it.

here's a quick one. Had a call yesterday while the phone was locked. I had the slide to answer option but I didn't want to answer the call I wanted to reject it and couldn't work out how to do that.

Tried iringer which is a good app but seems the only way to change the text message tone is to jail break the phone which I not sure I want to do at the moment

AFAIK, we don't use anything like that. Any changes server side would need to be made by Paul M, Mick or Frank (although it would be more likely to be Paul M)

Tried the button on the top of the phone?

not yet but assume that is the one. Tried the home button but that wouldn't do much. Shame it isn't like when the phone is unlocked where you can answer or reject or just do the slide to make those available.

Thanks for the info, knew you could do it just didn't know how

press the power button on the top twice in quick succession.

Not really an important thing, but I've just found a site that tells you how to add subtitles to a movie that you can turn on/off at will (ie not burned in).

It's quite a quick process as well. But, you do need a Mac (or at least OSX) and you do need to download the iPhone or Mac SDK (the iPhone SDK includes both), which is around a 2 or 3 gig download.

I cant tell any difference in speed of general usage between my old 2G, my Current 3G and my colleagues 3GS.... however, your mileage may vary :)

Hmmm thats far earlier than the June Developers Conference when they usually announce new models :)

I still don't think I'll upgrade my 3G one to an "iPhone 4" because of the lack of H/W keyboard. My digits are far too big to type on the iPhone's screen.

Dont let it bother you. Just think, I'll skip the iPhone 4 and wait for the iPhone 5.

I thought that as well, it turns out that my iPhone typing is near as makes no difference as quick as my normal keyboard typing - and that isn't slow ;)

I've not had the 3GS for all that long and it does everything I want and more - I definitely won't be upgrading yet, I'm going to wait for the one after the new one (by which time my contract will be up, this one will be abit more worn, and I'll be itching to move to the newest and bestest again :D ).
