The 8GB iPhone on the O2 website has been reduced by £100 to £169 until June 1. This further reinforces speculation a new iPhone (3G maybe) is soon to be released. For those who know the currencies, that means that an 8GB iPhone in the UK is only $331.50. That is a full $67.50 cheaper than the $399 version here.

 

The Apple UK site however still is selling it at the original £269 which I'm sure can't last.

 

Many people are now purchasing the iPhone at the reduced price, simply to unlock it for another network.

Anyone? Please!

 

I really need to know, when does the contract start, when you order it online and give your credit card number or when you get the phone, and activate it through iTunes?

 

Thank you!

I don't know about Carphone Warehouse, but the above certainly is true about buying from O2 (I advise against dealing with Carphone Warehouse personally, their aggressive sales technique is on the same level as a used car dealership and shows very little respect for their customers).

 

They can refuse warranty, other than that what are they going to sue you for? Breach of a contract that you never signed?

 

What you've said is true, however let's not overlook the point that you do in fact agree to a contract with Apple that you will not use it with any other carrier upon buying it. This may also be so when buying the handset from O2 or CF -- nobody ever asks, how else will you know?

So you think it's better to order online from O2?

Forgot to post about it, bought mine on Friday from the CPW, had no problems getting them to sell me it, opted out of all the sh*t they were trying to sell me and took it home and pwned it.

You think It's the same ordering online from them? You pay for the iPhone, unlock it, and avoid the contract?

if something went wrong with one *touch wood* could Apple refuse service if you claim it was originally French and hence unlocked?

i think they can see where you bought the iphone (with the serial number of something), so you can't claim it was french if it isnt :D

Yeah, I can confirm that, at least that's what I experienced in a German T-Mobile store, they enter your IMEI and see that it isn't from them.
