Jimbo 133 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think you'd regret getting an 8gb, you'd have to compromise on your content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I had a 8GB Touch and got a bit frustrated at its size. I now have the 16GB phone and tis perfect. Lots of music, apps and a few GB spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg 6 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Just placed an order for one. 16GB iphone for free with 1200 mins, 500 texts, unlimited data, £30 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6321 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 There's an almighty row going on at work now that the iphone is available on Orange and that's who we've got our corporate contract with. One business stream have written a 10 page justification on why we should invest in them! It's down to our department (generally) to certify the handsets for use around the company and the general feeling is that whilst the interface is a million times better than on the Nokia E71 which is currently our standard, it has nothing that justifies the price per handset being more than double! Anyway it's all a moot point - the Finance VP got wind that the overheads were double per unit of the model we have and declared there's no justification when we've just laid off around 100 people in one business stream alone.

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Getting one from work but I can get the 8gb for nowt or pay £89 / £169 for an upgrade to the 16/32gb one. Thoughts? I have the 8gb one and have about 20 odd albums, various audio books and the odd movie with no problems. The movies I just exchange when I want to watch something new and music I have is fine for me. Unless you want to keep lots of movies and complete record collections on your phone, I don't know why you would need the extra space. However 69 quids not a lot for a safety net. It is worth noting how much shit you put onto these phones that you'll never use. Ie you'll put a full album on even though you probably only really love 3 or 4 tracks from that album.

Get the 16gb 3GS. The camera is better (although in fairness - still not great) but there are a number of other little features you get that arent on the 3G.

Guest alex Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Gone for 8gb because I don't use my current phone for anything other than the odd text / call and I only use my iPod when I'm exercising and I find that's big enough (I wouldn't come close to getting my music collection on even the 32gb anyway). Plus, I've got two pretty good digital cameras that are both miles better than anything you'd get on a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ive bounced mine a few times like. So far its held up ok On a recommendation from this thread, I bought a couple of case-mate 'barely there' covers for my two. Best £15 (each) I've spent for ages. We were staying over at lisa's mums and I left my phone in my back pocket when I was coming to bed. Got undressed on the upstairs landing so as not to wake the bairn up (everyone was asleep I must add at this point ) and put my jeans over the landing bannister. Bounced the iphone off the stairs bannister and down onto the hall floor (laminated. not carpeted) and it slid all the way to the front door. Not even a mark. I thought I'd have killed it.

peasepud 59 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Its upgrade time for me and Im sick of paying out for this contract, although Ive got an original 3G Im more than happy with it and dont fancy upgrading now to a 3Gs when its rumoured the new one will be out in June, plus the cheaperst upgrade contract involves me still paying £35 a month but for the next 24 months! Im thinking of just whopping a PAYG SIM in and lobbing £15 a month on that before maybe starting a new contract later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd do the same mate. 3 do one for that kind of money with free internet - ideal for an iPhone. Not sure what o2's PAYG options are if you wanted to keep your number.

ewerk 26871 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm having mine replaced for the second time tomorrow, first due to cracks in the case, this time due to an area of the touchscreen which has become unresponsive, which may or may not have been caused by me dropping it Any bother getting it replaced because of the crack? I've got one on the back but I assumed they'd blame me for it and not replace it. Plus I'm reluctant to upgrade to the latest firmware version.

I was on the tube platform and was drunkenly plugging my headphones in as the train approached and the blasted thing tripped from my fingers. I could forsee it dropping between platform and train, skittering and twitching in the murk until it was crushed under a wheel it stolen by the mutant rats. It being so close but effectively gone for good. I did the juggle-and-collapse thing around it and had I trapped between the back of my left hand and the inside of my left knee and the looks of confusion and disdain on the other passengers were ignored as I basked in the adrenaline rush of saving my phone. I'm a bit gay for this lump of plastic and microchips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bother about getting replaced, mine was cracking near the data socket at the bottom and near the mute switch, apparently the early iPhone 3G's were notorious for cracking there, they changed it without any fuss, I'm now in the process of restoring my new iPhone, fuck its slow, its take 3 hours already !
