iPhone iOS4 Goes live Today - 1800

[vRS Carl]

Well folks for those who are not upgrading to iPhone 4 or are in 2 minds as to wether to just get the New OS or Upgrade then today is the day that iOS4 is released.

It doesn't get released till 1800 GMT reason being all Apple updates are released at 1000 Cupertino time on the day of release which is 8hrs behind GMT.

So with past experience either sit there hitting check update button in iTunes from 1800. Or wait till about 1900 when the initial rush calms down.

I for one will be updating to see if i really need the new iPhone 4 (well just to please the wife before she buys me one for my Birthday  )

Do we know if it's been jail broke yet ?, as a few people already have os4 .

[vRS Carl]

Not yet that i can find. But it has been confirmed that it is unlockable so i doubt it will be too long before it's available

I'm off down to O2 to see the useless f*cktards at lunch and hopefully get my Micro SIM. What's the bet they haven't a clue what I'm talking about.

If your not already an O2 Customer then Micro Sims & iPhone 4 are reserved for O2 Customers only until end of July.

I'm an O2 customer

I still have another year left on my contract - I dont want to buy out of it since I like having unlimited data! So I'd buy it offline from Apple so it was unlocked to all networks etc if I was to get it.

Nevertheless, Im still in 2 minds about whether to buy the iPhone 4 or not!
Its just the screen and the camera with HD recording that are drawing me to it!

I am considering selling my current 32GB 3Gs, which should sell well as its under warranty until Dec and its in brand new mint condition with no marks etc.

Then again - Im more inclined to wait for the white iPhone 4 as it wont show smudges and fingerprints as much as black. Then again, will the white front bother your eyes when looking at the screen.....

Decisions, decisions!!

The iPhone 4 will be unlocked no matter who you but it from. So I'm told. I spoke to the O2 store today near me and that's what they told me. Although they also said they are getting white ones in straight away

Legislation was passed Iirc in 2008 that said networks are no longer allowed to sell locked phones anymore. Plus O2 will unlock the phone for free anyway if your on contract.

I'm pretty sure with the iPhone 4 being unlocked direct from Apple then they shouldn't be locked by O2 when you get it.

I will find out on Thursday

Cool..............so now............get the black or wait for white??.......... lol

Look what I just got in the post

Look what I just got in the post 

Did you request that, or was it sent from a registration of interest?

I went down to O2 this morning and they knew nothing about getting new SIMs in today. Clueless.

[vRS Carl]

I got it by registering Interest and putting that i was an existing O2 Customer.

They did say not everyone will get one though.

I have filled out the Sim Swap thingymajig as well so they say it can take up to 24 hours but usually only takes an hour so will see.

Im just chuffed they included an adaptor

Nice one carl

picked up a micro-sim from 02 in Holborn today, just had to show my order form from apple!

roll on thurdsay 

[vRS Carl]

Did you get the free Adaptor as well from the shop?

[GTIjames]

no adaptor unfortunately just sim!

and to those thinking of chopping up their old one I doubt it will work as the metal strip is a different size on the sim/micro-sims

apologies for poor pic..
