Re: 3
 

It wont its o2 only IIRC

Re: 3
 

Never will be. Not unless they make it 3G lol....If you want something similar, but has better usablity, then I'd highly recommend the LG U990 Viewty :)

Re: 3
 

thanks 4 that the mobile looks geat is it out on network 3 and do u think its worth getting

Re: 3
 

You clearly didn't read his reply.

O2 have an EXCLUSIVE contract to market the Iphone. It is also not 3g. There are two reasons why 3 will NOT be marketing it anytime soon.

Also, bear in mind it has major problems getting a signal (even in strong signal areas). Still, being on 3, you'll probably be used to having no signal most of the time.

Re: 3
 

i don't mean the iphone i mean the lg u990

Re: 3
 

Odd, my 3 phone NEVER lost it's signal, even when I was camping in the woods. My new Virgin phone however loses it's signal more than my 3 phone did.

Re: 3
 

Yes the phone is out (I've got one myself on 3) but you have to search round a bit cos they are going like hot cakes lol :)

Re: 3
 

Fair enough..

Re: 3
 

all iPhones are locked to o2.

Re: 3
 

hi people im getting a new mobile next month couse my contract runs out anybody know any mobile thats worth getting

Re: 3
 

You really don't like the iphone do you. It has as good a signal strength as any phone I've used.

What the Viewty might have a better camera but as for useabilty is not even in the same ball park as the iphone. Freind has one and is like going back to the dark ages using one compared to the iphone.

Re: 3
 

I don't like them either. And I've never used one. I think that they're overpriced, and being forced onto one network to get one is ridiculous.

Re: 3
 

iPhones are a complete waste of time and money. Don't expect any support from O2 with it either. Management didn't have a clue so neither did front line advisors.

@wwe For the latest handsets on the three network, why don't you look at their website?

3 do have the LG U990 Viewty in Silver here

Call their retentions department (based in India) for the latest deals to see what they can offer you. (Assuming you are a current 3 customer.

Personally I would take the N95 8GB pack or a Sony Ericsson handset.

Let me know what you would like from your phone and I will be able to recommend one to you.

I have worked for both 3 and O2.

Re: 3
 

Many phones are only available on 1 network, no one complains about the o2 xda's.

I don't think it was over priced and I shelled out the £269 to get it. Perhaps you should try one before you give out your opinion.

Why are they a waste of time? Finding mine the best phone purchase I've made since my xda2. I normally change my phones every 9 months trying to find one I can stick with (o2 select customer) but would only change this for a newer better model.

The package is also pretty much exactly what I want as well with the unlimited data. Shame its not able to be used as a data modem but then all it would be for is checking mail and a quick surf which is a doddle to do on the phone anyway.

Re: 3
 

I don't need to try one to have an opinion on it. My opinion is that they're over priced for just a phone that isn't even 3G. And it doesn't doesn't do much more than what my current £60 phone does. Okay, it may have a pretty interface, but that's not, in my opinion, worth all the extra cost.

Re: 3
 

I've got this phone.

I love the flick wrist to change MP3 track.

The motion sensors in the phone that change the screen from portait to landscape.

and it's 3G.

Re: 3
 

Err, the htc mobile that is the xda2 is available on other networks.

Re: 3
 

True but it was not at first. Many phones are exclusivly launched on single networks.

The iphone probably will be out on other networks in time , I can see very good reasons for having a nice staggarded launch considering it is their first phone out on the market.

Perhaps I'm turning into a fanboy here but I've used lots of mobile phones and none are as good as this.

The 'pretty interface' is not just a pretty face. It's built on a solid robust operating system that has many advanced features built in but maintains reliability and speed all the time. I've rebooted mine once since Nov 9th and that was because I randomly dialled somethings like **##21##d and it was trying to transmit it.

It is a premium product with a large bright crisp glass fronted screen, an aluminium back and a metal rim. Not plastic sprayed silver like other phones.
It's benn in my pocket with keys and loose change, knocked off my bedside table on to my wood floor boards and dropped from waist height onto the road and it's still in first class condition.

I can't think of a phone that has a better screen that this one. This is the nicest phone to use on the market and future iphpnes with 3/4g are going to be the phones to have.

Have you seen the demos of the games that will be out in the summer on it?

Re: 3
 

hi ppl is the Sony Ericsson W910i any gd

Re: 3
 

The Nokia N95 8GB is a good option IMO. I personally dont like 3 as around here the signal is not great.

Re: 3
 

ive been looking at the nokia n95 im going to get it next month has anybody else got 1 is it any gd

Re: 3
 

The more mobiles can do the more masts are needed & if they are not enough where you live/use your mobile your signal will suffer.

We have problems getting a basic phone signal downstairs for texts or calls let alone anything else.

BTW Sony Ericsson are making good phones at the moment, Nokia rested on their laurels for a while and you got crap batteries & suchlike. Hopefully with the iPhone competition it will buck their ideas up.

Re: 3
 

N95 is a greta model of mobile handset. I would look at this or any Sony Ericsson handset. The W910i is another decent handset too.
