      for the price i want to pay, I would rather get all the mod cons on the iphone. main reason also for buying is the ability to surf the net with it as most employers seem to block a few sites (not talking about p*rn sites ).
      My Orbit II is absolute rubbish when it comes to surfing

      Unless there is a good mobile out there with big enough screen size to surf and probably not win mobile?.

      went into the O2 store today and was told that the PAYG plan will be available sometine before XMAS. I am sure poor overall sales will bring that date closer.

            No upgrade path for existing mid-contract customers!

            Unbelievable. There is no upgrade path for existing mid-contract customers like me and the gazillions of other people I know.

            The only way for me to get a 3G iPhone is to buy off my current contract, then buy the iPhone and start the 18 month contract all over again.

            They won't even let me switch to the lowest tariff to buy out my contract I have to do this 'gradually month by month' yeah right.

            On top of that. Be wary of O2's international call / data rates, I got hit *badly* after a 10 day trip to the States... 1MB = £6!

              eh? Peter, you can upgrade. you current contract stops, and a new one starts. that sounds odd as this is what they have been pushing to current owners. my problem has come stopping my personal one and creating a business account.
              I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

                    Ah ha, I see - same as every new phone that comes on the market then...

                    You could offset your costs by selling the N95 on Ebay once you've got your iphone, but I don't know what a second hand one goes for these days (or how much your contract is).

                      Yes but the iPhone is not just another handset

                      Could sell my N95; haven't checked but could prob get a decent amount for it. £350 anyone? It's virtually brand new.
