Thorin Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 HD Video Recording??! Seriously wtf?! That is mental! Man I just got my HTC Desire and while I'm really impressed with it, HD video recording sounds amazing!! :'( The desire is also capable of HD video recording... I understand it's just waiting on a software update to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 i havnt seen any phone prices with the released tarrifs yet. Im hoping its gona be the same price as the 3gs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I think o2 will be more competitive this time, with Orange also being in the iPhone 4 market. I'm waiting to see who has the most attractive data package, then I'll make up my mind on which one I'll go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 i havnt seen any phone prices with the released tarrifs yet. Im hoping its gona be the same price as the 3gs. At announcement the release price of the iPhone4 in the states was the same price as the current 3GS so I would hope the same in the UK.

Mike AT&T though have a higher monthly charge so give a heavier subsidy. This time around they've also raised their prices / dropped the value of the data plans. With iPhones over there you need a voice plan and a data plan... $75-100 a month for what we can get here for $50-60 worth. Prices will be announced tomorrow. I speculate that it'll what they cost on 18 month contracts last time around will be the 24 month contract price and that 18 month contract prices will get a bump. Dread to think 12 month subsidy contract prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Internet has been down all morning. Getting fed up it. Internet is down 75% of the time I attempt to connect to it. And when you call o2 they play dumb as if its my phone at fault. All I want to do is check my emails! Didn't realise its not just iphones and o2. Mobile internet was much more reliable on my old w800i 4 years ago than now! All these flash phones and features which just don't work reliably!

caseys Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Happy o2 are finally putting bandwidth limits on iphone users. They have ruined the mobile internet surfing experience for everyone. Blo**dy iphone users It's not just iphone users as RedM said, it's all 'smartphone' users now... so crackberry, android etc. If you're using data gone are the days of unlimited on any network I think. Blame social networking sites ... That and youtube, voip etc. I think the only data intensive app I uses is Google Maps, otherwise I use it for email and reading the occasional website. 500Mb/month is not bad, I'd still say it's excessive. Otherwise it's wifi at home or you got to ask what are you doing all day which requires that much mobile data! Had my 3GS since launch and used 3.7Gb according to stats. Internet has been down all morning. Getting fed up it. Internet is down 75% of the time I attempt to connect to it. And when you call o2 they play dumb as if its my phone at fault. All I want to do is check my emails! Probably your area chap. London and big cosmopolitan areas are probably at saturation / contention breaking point. Down in Bournemouth I can get a 3G signal (apart from in my office...) and have probably had 1-2 days of crappy signal since I've been using o2 for mobile interweb, which is probably 4 years+.

It must be. Unfortunately for me I work in the city of London. Probably the most saturated place for smartphones in the uk, possibly the western world! And its just unbearably bad. And when I get home its generally ok, but then I don't need it at home as I have a proper pc/wifi etc. Very annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 http://www.macworld.co.uk/ipod-itunes/news/?newsid=3226863 Vodafone The company will be charging £189 for the 16GB model, and £280 for the 32GB model on contract. Customers will have to take out a contract starting at either a £25-per-month for two years, or £30-per-month for 18 months. Roughly £30 more than 3GS prices for the handset is a rough figure Orange: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
