There is an extreme bending of the rules going on with this whole deal in my opinion.
From what I've read online (which may/may not be believed, I'm unsure), France and another country have already banned the iPhone from being sold in their country due to Apple's demands of limiting them to certain networks.
Apple are getting a huge slice of the proceeds from o2 and Carphone Warehouse for the whole thing, I'd love nothing more than to see the whole iPhone thing crash and burn... but as I said in my previous post, there are too many Apple fanboys for that to happen.
This is the best use for the iPhone -
linkage (apologies if this has been seen before)
My current contract with o2 ends in January... my next phone? It looks like the k850i... I can send MMS on that... unlike the iPhone...
