I have read of WiFi issues with it.

The only geohot thing I've ever used is Blackra1n, purely because the only Dev Team solution for Jailbreaking 3.1.2 was to use PwnageTool, which is Mac only.

It is quite slim, but I think it would get in the way of a dock.

Mrs D's "In Case Slider" has a removable bottom part so the phone can still be docked without removing the whole case.

looking into ordering mine after payday. How is the OS is it the same as the O2 one or have Orange hacked about with it ?

Apologies if this has been posted before, but from 10th November 02 now let users unlock their iphones for use on other networks.

Quote:

Pay Monthly customers
Your iPhone can be unlocked at anytime free of charge. If you unlock your handset and place a non-O2 sim into it, you will still have to honour the remainder of the minimum term on your contract.

iPhone Pay & Go customers
For iPhone on Pay & Go, unlocking can take place 12 months after you've bought your iPhone for a one-off Â£14.69 fee which will be deducted from your airtime balance.

Nope same. Apple would never let them change the interface and with good reason. The major problem with Android and Windows Mobile is the myriad of different interfaces imposed by handset designers and networks. ugh.

O2 are apparently offering free or discounted (the basic package is free, the others are discounted) home broadband if you go for the iPhone internet tethering bolt on, until 31st December.

I have convinced the person in charge of our telecomms budgets that it was cost effective (now that the 02 iPhones can be legally unlocked) to upgrade our four trial 3G iPhones to four iPhone 16GB 3Gs, at a one off cost of Â£57 per phone, which means I should be upgrading my iPhone soon.

I did feel slightly silly talking to myself, though....

Anyone else downloaded the new Sky Mobile TV app? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8352178.stm

Â£6 a month for all Sky Sports channels, if you text Sky to 2020 you get 3 months free. The quality seems pretty good, i'll have to wait and see what watching a football match is like before i decide to start paying for it or cancel it.

broadbandking · 17-11-2009, 06:55

I can't wait until next year sat Feb when I can upgrade and then Voda should have a release date and price.

Yeah it's pretty decent.

I like the 30sec rewind and pause live tv functions. I really like the fact that it includes espn. I reckon I may just cancel sky sports on the telly and use this with a tv out dock.

**Hugh** · 18-11-2009, 10:27

Just had my 3Gs 16GB delivered - excellent!

Yeah, it is really good. What would the quality be like if it's connected to a tv?
