Have been on hold for 2 hours now.

Thinking of giving up and waiting for the next shipment as this is just ridiculous.

ive got a ipod tho and its great easy to use, big memory etc
and never had a problem with it
but i dont want it as a phone as well is all
man if u allready have a mp3 player (namely ipod as they are truly great mp3 players due to easo of use of itunes) then iphone is useless. it is essentially a ipod with calling capabilities. and the ipad is jsut a really big ipod lol. i would nevr get one.. for that much id rather get something like a tablet pc or something, more probably a laptop actually

The vodafone website says I need to call them to get an "upgrade". If I do it on the website it will be another phone number.

Only because I kept dropping it. It even got thrown at me once but still survived. It was iOS4 that is killing it.

I have to say tho that the screen is just amazing. Tried out the reception glitch and yes it is there but everything else is perfect. Ordered a case today as well.

mine survived a 2 storey roof only to crack two weeks later after dropping it from my car...i guess it averages out the impacts lol. i would replace the screen but looks rather complicated in this model. btw whats the resolution?

I think the new iphone 4 is sweet... the camera/video/editing capabilities on the fly are amazing...

screen replacement is easy, my friend did i on his 3gs after dropping it very awqwardly (its all about how it lands btw) in about 45 minutes i dont care what anyone sais, iphone is awesome because of its aftermarket support. thats why i love it.

Unfortunately TC3's phone is a HTC and they are a pain to replace the screen. I am loving the new iphone. Now just need to hack it so I can use TomTom.

Well I have had the iphone for 4 days and I have managed to hack it already. I love progress.

Oh and it is much faster than my old 3g.
