Am I the only one completely bemused and baffled by this thread?

Ah, the Blackbook, a nice machine that. The 13" screen was one of the reasons I'm now on a MBP.

I'm probably going to upgrade my web server to an Xserve soon - then when my Blackberry contract expires I'll definately get an iPhone.

Anyway, back on topic perhaps... 

Sorry to bring this back to the top....

But after getting a bill for ^100 and that is with Oranges maximum data charges......... I went and bought an iphone at the weekend - even at ^35 a month and paying line rental to orange for the next nine months - I'll be quids in with the free data!

So far all I can say is:

Pros: Free data - intuitive interface - small - great browsing - easily connects to wifi - I get a signal at home for the first time ever

Cons: So used to having installed apps on a WM6 I'm getting used to webapps (most of which I didnt use mind since they were a pain in the rear to install if you use a Mac!)

Get web 'n'walk by t-mobile.

problem solved.

^20 a month, unlimited 3.5g broadband

And since my non iphone handset of choice is the HTC TyTN 2 which T-mobile dont do (last I checked) I would then have to purchase a circa ^500 handset unlocked. 

I was on about keeping your old phone, and having that for data use

And i doubt you are John

No - I am too, and I started it.  Which is rather why my suggestions were "plain English and explain acronyms" ...

Remember you can't tether the iPhone up to your Mac/PC as yet officially... you can probably do it if you ZiPhone it!

I'm fed up with my BlackBerry. Bought an iPhone today, being delivered tomorrow.

Bit nervous about ziphoning it!  Dont want to end up with a brick

You will only brick it if you unlock it. If the jailbreaking doesn't work, just restore to factory settings and you're all ok again! Unlocking it modifies the baseband, etc, jailbreaking just meddles with the software.

Wait a while.

Mark 2 of the iPhone will be a lot better (Copy, Paste etc. Apple??).

It will also be released unlocked, as people are complaining about O2's monopoly.

In Germany, Apple have been forced to sell unlocked iPhones!!!

Software version 2.0 will be good, yep, I've got an iPod touch at the mo and am impressed.

I don't think it will be released unlocked - and it's only France you can get unlocked iPhones.

The software will be updated anyway - Apple could not afford not to

Not too fussed about the locked aspect

The only thing a new i phone might have is 3G but unless you stream audio/video - and I dont - its not an issue

And - this site loads a lot better under iphone than orange 3G!
