iPhone on Vodafone?
 
I've heard rumours that it'll be avaliable on Vodafone from July? Anyone else heard a similar thing?

Gemma 21-05-2009 12:58 PM
The contract with O2 expires next year, so unless this is resigned the Iphone will be available for all Service providers.
Basically O2 havent made any money from the Iphone, and all profit has gone to Apple. I can not see O2 resigning for the Iphone next year, but stranger things have happened! :)

mikeyscott 21-05-2009 01:07 PM
Fingers crossed it's terminated early for us Vodafone users to get a piece of the action

Southwell 21-05-2009 01:10 PM
Those rumours have been going on for a couple of years now, they wont open up until next year at the earliest, shame really i wanted to stay with Orange, but i really want the Iphone. :woot:

Gemma 21-05-2009 01:10 PM
I wouldnt waste my money personally.
Unless they launch a New Iphone to sort out the glitches and features out on the device!
Heard mixed reports on the Iphone! :)

You can get them from France, and they are already unlocked for the Orange network, obviously you wouldnt have warranty etc!
We got briefed on the Iphone last week, and sounds like O2 are not going to resign the contract, as they are not making money from it! :woot:

mikeyscott 21-05-2009 01:12 PM
Same as me wanting to have it on Vodafone. Mmmm may just get hold of my brother in Dubai and see how much they are. Whatever phone I use it must have the ability to talk to Exchange (using a Palm Treo Pro atm).

OS 3.0 is being released this summer for the IPhone which removes all the glitches and bugs and makes another massive step forward. I wouldn't swap my Iphone for anything.

I personally think it wouldnt be worth a company signing a exclusive deal with Apple, as like I said before Apple take all the profit.
Not sure about them limiting the Iphone! Guess its a open book at the moment, but if I hear anything I will let you guys know x :woot:

Lee I know alot of people who are in the same boat as you, but then I know of others which are not happy!!

Guess its with anything these days! :)

Lee 21-05-2009 01:25 PM
But look how many people have moved to O2 just to get the Iphone.

Yeah totally agree!

jono83 21-05-2009 01:27 PM
and then my iphone will be able to doreally cools stuff like sending pic msgs and forwarding texts lol

Lee 21-05-2009 01:28 PM
So O2 can't be doing too bad out of the contracts even if Apple take the profit from the phones, unless O2 give Apple money from contracts too but that would be daft :confused:

Erm.....well Im unsure of the packages etc they are offering, but can not imagine them doing too bad. I dont know there facts and figures!

I know O2 paid a massive amount to originally get the Iphone exclusivity (Or however you spell it) :thumbsup:

I couldnt possible comment!! :D

I personally can name awesome devices out there at the moment, but then again Mobile devices, are personal preferences! :woot:

mikeyscott 21-05-2009 01:37 PM
True, phone with too many uses...

Maybe I'll just stick with
Laptop and 3G dongle
Nokia Phone
80GB Ipod :)

Not at all, i use every application on my phone, it's great for me when im on the move or when i cant connect to the net via my laptop. It may be a waste if you just use your phone to make calls and text but for those of us who work away from home or have busy lives it is fantastic.

I have a BlackBerry and iPhone and both have their merits. Despite being a a huge Apple fan, I think that the iPhone should be renamed the i - simple as that. Mine struggles with my network yet the BB sitting next to it on the same supplier is fine! Cant fault the BB as a business tool and although its not so tactile and fancy looking, it does exactly what it says on the box.

As Lee says, the apps on the iPhone are fantastic but in some ways its like carrying round a Nintendo DS due to its lack of ability as a phone. And BB has just launched BlackBerry App World but will have to see how this goes...

When my current contract comes up, I will go for one phone and stay with a BB. Yes I will lose some of the clever functions but I should have a better tool for making and receiving calls. After all, that is why we all buy mobile phones in the first place - right?

Have to agree I love my BB, its my life line!! I dont disagree with anyone with preference on phone, as they are a personal thing these days!

Gotta love your Blackberry!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

The new HTC's are quite good from what ive read. Hopefully there will be other options about when i renew. The £5 a month data usage on Orange kinda puts me off though.

As another big Apple fan I got an iPhone when they came out. Although it is an awesome device, when my contract was up for renewal I went for a Nokia E71. Why? Because it is a great phone! Whatever you think about the iPhone, the phone bit is pants.. I've had problems with reception and roaming. That said, I put a PAYG sim in my iPhone and still use it extensively as a gaming platform and awesome iPod!
