iPhone 4
Ifti:
Im still in contract with my 32GB 3Gs until June of 2011!!
I always knew a new iPhone would come along this year - as it does every year - and even though I like the iPhone 4, Im going to miss this one out and be in time for the upgrade in 2011......

I don't like iPhone OS (or iOS as it's called) but the hardware really appeals to me.
I can actually do stuff with Android (root access!); I don't like going through iTunes and I don't like Jobs telling me what apps I can/cannot install.
The proper analogy would be: buying a ferrari and swapping the engine with an infinitely customisable W16 quad turbo that I could do anything I wanted to.
I reckon I'll get it unlocked, and just get a microSIM in addition to my O2 SIM... I find their 3G coverage to be pretty decent in the UK and EU tbh. Not great, but I pay £15/month for unlimited internet and that's worth it to me.
neg:
I bought myself and the wife an iPhone 3GS so were not locked in, like most the only issue I have is being locked in. Currently in my home area Orange have a crap signal due to overgrown tree's etc but cant get access or rights to clear it - but everywhere else is ok.
If I change network I then get the problem of being locked to them for 18 or 24 months, and who am I kidding thinking they are better than one another :mad:
on the iPhone4 though, looks good. I really did hold back but now I have one (business use) it does work pretty well.
Shame it doesnt support UMA ... or does it??

£15/month for 3G data/internet unlimited in the UK. Was on a £25/month SIMplicity but after a year they knocked it down to £15/month for some reason.
EU data roaming is (will be) capped at £60/month thanks to new EU legislation.
