    Can't imagine deals that being great as it's an o2 exclusive - you never know though

    I'm getting it as an upgrade

    But wondering how far to push them in terms of a deal.

    Been with them 8 years now so should get a good deal.

    New customers can get ample mins/texts and free internet for £34/month with free 8GB phone, but I would like the 16GB one for nowt and at no more than £25/month.

    Ringing them later to try and strike a deal :)

    Maybe the person I know (via a friend) is higher up the chain then. He's got 20 invites ('You and upto 19 friends or family members') on offer.

    Well the iphones only get upgraded once a year.

    AppleiPhoneApps.com (unknown until now by us) says it has the latest iPhone specs. They've put out a lot of what we've already heard but also have some new "info". We've bolded what we consider new stuff. Here's their list:

    * 32GB and 16GB to replace current capacities
    * $199 and $299 price-points to be maintained
    * 3.2 Megapixel camera
    * Video recording & editing capabilities
    * Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
    * Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
    * OLED screen
    * 1.5X The battery life
    * Double the RAM and processing power
    * Built-in FM transmitter
    * Apple logo on the back to light up
    * Rubber-tread backing
    * Sleeker design
    * Built-in compass
    * Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations.
    * Turn by turn directions
    * July 17th, 2009 release date

    If there is a lighting Apple logo on the back, it will be powered by the screen light, just like MacBooks. There is no way Apple will use extra juice to illuminate a logo, when battery power is so important in mobile devices. The rubber tread backing also seems hard to imagine.

    We're split on the FM transmitter. It is a very cool and useful feature, but one Apple hasn't been keen on using up until this point.

    IPHONE

    Absolutely no deals are available on the I-Phone at all
    Does not matter wether you have been with o2 for 18 months or 18 years everybody is treat the same when it comes to the IPhone.

    Not much help for you - but thats the way it is with the IPhone.
