Be Excellent To Each Other

Fair enough. I think I'll eat my dinner later on with a Torx screwdriver set, then when I inevitably go back to a knife and fork, I'll appreciate them even more.

PAYG? Wow... that must have cost you a bomb! No wonder you're pissed off about it!

£380, aye.

Johney - you wouldn't understand. Go back to wanking over TEH BEST CODDDS EVA!

And you continue to be jealous of CoD owners because you can't afford to get the game on account of your ridiculous phone purchase.

Brilliant.

I can afford it - I'm just making a stand, man!

Yeah yeah.

Interesting.

I went to look at on on Sat... was told by Orange, that he could not show mw one as they have to be activated..

Carphone Warehosue have none, and chapt told me there is little support for them at teh moment

US release was fairly muted, apparently. Some analyst was estimating 40,000 units sold in the first weekend, although there wasn't any compelling context around that to suggest if that's good or bad.

“Can't show you because they need to be activated” is a shitty cop-out. Get your shit together, shops.

I know.. after ringing customer services.. I can get one for £19 a month, with a cost of £99 for teh phone.. Environphone will buy mine for £75..

Still colour me undecided.

Jesus in a basket.

That's pretty cheap for an up-to-the-minute smartphone with no contract. It's a lot less than I paid for my iPhone.

Yeah but you'd sell your face for the latest gadget.

Plus he already has an iPhone doesn't he?

Even with a contract, I paid £299 up-front for my iPhone 4. Though I wouldn't have done that if I hadn't been able to offload my 3GS to some prime sucka Kalmar to offset the cost considerably.

Manger.

You hipsters want your fucking heads reading.

We have disposable income. You wouldn't understand because you have kids.

Tru dat. And a lens fetish it would seem.

The fuck?! I got mine for £50 (on a £35 contract) a month or so after the initial release excitement died down. I was so pleased I gave my 3G away.

Meh. Within a couple of days, I'd recouped all but £80 of that £299 (selling my 3GS), and had downgraded to a cheaper contract, saving £60 over the course of a year. It barely cost me anything, ignoring the potential savings of keeping my 3GS and downgrading my contract even further, before Gaywood points it out.

16 or 32Gb? And 18 or 24 month contract? On the £35/mnth O2 are currently quoting £139.00 for 16Gb/24 month, rising to £299.00 for 32Gb/18 month. Did they cut you a deal then?

Mine was an 18-month contract for the 32GB model. I can cut down my contract after 18 months for half a year before the next (next next) iPhone is presumably out, saving even more money.

16GB on 18 month. Yeah they cut me a deal. I've been with O2 since I turned 18 and immediately signed a contract! Well, BT Cellnet I think it was at the time. So yeah, if I stomp my heels they tend to cut me some slack. The first thing I did was make sure I could get the £40/month 18 month contract for £35, then I whinged about the handset price and they said "we can't give you it for free, blah blah, how about £50?". Woo!

With the 3G I would quite often over spend by a fiver a month (usually because of going over 500 texts or MMSes, or phoning 0800 numbers such as my bank ), so that probably helps. On this new tariff though, I'm yet to even approach my limits with the 4.

That's hardly an ‘I paid £50. Why didn't you pay £50?’ scenario!

Yeah I know, I just wanted to show off my deal.

Uh-oh, kiss of death.

*throws deal against wall*

But my deal is good! Etc.

Your deal is your Mothers face.

If your mum was the prize on Deal or No Deal, no-one would deal. Ever.

Buying a Windows phone does not make me a hipster in any way, shape, or fashion.

Not while it's in a bin in Leeds.

But when your swanning around Starbucks with your gash-achino you be pulling it out of your overstretched skinny jeans, and playing it up like no fuckers business.

I got it back today - yahoo!

Get an iPhone.

Get a free* Android phone you daft cunt.

*£20 a month for 24 months.

I'm not paying £240 and locking myself in for two years when I can pay a bit more and then have the opportunity to upgrade to an iPhone 5 next year.

I paid Apple £500 for an iPhone 4, and O2 £15 a month on a 12 month contract, and (in the UK) have not paid another penny in monthly costs. I've still not seen anything anything come close in terms of 12 month running cost. Plus I should have a resale value of about £250 to drop on a new phone come June.

No, you simply pay £380 for a brick to send to Leeds.

I wonder if it'll ever be seen again.

Meanwhile, I have the replacement in my hands right now!

Jobs would've never sold me a broken phone!

So, gimmie the lowdown, mypsy. Is it worth getting one. How do you live without visual voicemail?

Answer the phone?

Fuck that. I don't carry a phone around to talk to people, for goodness sake.

How do you live without Hullomail, which is the same but better?

I didn't mean the apple version specifically. I meant anything that offers similar functionality. As far as I am aware, WP7 doesn't have anything at all.

Hullomail works on anything with push email and web access, I believe.

Nothing? Nothing at all??

That caused me to LOL. Good job!
