Where di you get this 200MB limit for O2.
O2's fir useage policy is UNLIMITED. Nowhere in their terms and conditions does it state any MB limit. It just says tht you shouldnt tether it etc
@lain

O2's fair usage policy is actually, UNLIMITED, don't know where you saw this 200MB limit.

I tethered my iPhone and downloaded Windows 7 RTM. I didn't hear anything from O2.
I work at Phones 4U, we will have one in stock tomorrow (8th)
it will be free on Orange £35 (1200 minutes, unlimited texts and tinterweb)
if you're a current Orange customer you can have it free for as low as £25 on an upgrade!
You're allowed to lower your contract to £35 after 9 months (half way) and you'll have 600 minutes, 500 texts and unl Internet. And before Americans moan that it's not enough minutes, they're outgoing minutes, it's free to receive!
All Vodafone handsets are unlocked!
Point by point?

For one, its Windows. Even windows on thw PC is a shit operating system.
 MS tried implementing Windows on a mobile device thinking that just shrinking everything physically made sense. It doesnt. Why do I need a strat bar or close buttons on a mobile? Why such a complicated keyboard that forces me to use a stylus? Why is there scrollbars on the sides? Why Why is it so ugly? HTC has done a good job at skining it but underneath its still Windows.
Apple did the right thing. They didnt just make a phisically smaller OS X. They worked from the ground up and asked "what do we need this thing to do, and whats the simplest way to o it?" Took the kernel and added an excellent UI on top. Google did the same thing with Android. And thats why iPhone OS and Android take a steaming dump on WinMo.
youll be able to get it free on a £45 18 month contract
GSM vs CDMA space occupation for electronic components is not any different. If any GSM takes less space because the technology is used by the whole world and there is infinitely more demand for GSM handsets over CDMA ones, pushing manufacturers to reduce the footprint of the SIM tray etc.
lol
wah-fah on this here ah-phone
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
