Steve 2 Posted June 9, 2008 As I said - I predict it'll be ?129 for the 8GB and ?199 for the 16GB over here in the UK. Sounds logical bud, I wonder when O2 will announce their service plans for the phone, and will they subsidize at all? Surely they'd of known about this announcement, you'd of thought their website would of been ready for the wealth of potential customers, who'll bounce away from O2, disappointed...

They already have iPhone specific tariffs, I doubt they'll be changing for the 3G iPhone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
what 326 Posted June 9, 2008 It won't be any more expensive than $199 worldwide. Whatever that equals in your currency. Expect the contracts to vary immensely though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syntax_Error 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Well I'm a little disappointed. Still no MMS support, no front camera for video calls and no flash for the camera. 3G and GPS and a new paint job, wow! I guess I'll be sticking to my iPhone v1 with software v2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syntax_Error 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Apple are trying to push e-mail anywhere - why would they bother with age old MMS? That's all well and good but when all your friends have "normal" phones that do plain old MMS it makes sense. MMS is used a lot more in Europe than the US.

crazzyyfool 29 Posted June 9, 2008 If all you guys want MMS support. Download the SDK and write your own. Apparently its a piece of **** to write apps for the iPhone. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
instant.human 45 Posted June 9, 2008 i have owned cell phones now for a good 10 years. i have never ever in my life used mms. never. and neither did my friends. i find it surprising aswell, that its such a great deal for some... id rather have the option to send an email with a picture of the cute cat ive just seen on the go than having to cut down the picture quality and all just for the sakes of sending an mms...

what 326 Posted June 9, 2008 The new ad reminds me of something out of Oceans 11/12/13 for some reason. It's not like previous modern Apple adverts at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
