Rumour is that the 4S 'only' has 512MB of RAM, the same as the current iPhone 4....

I'd have thought so. There haven't been any changes to the Bluetooth standard.

Commission???

Every deal I do for a forum member makes me the grand sum of....nothing! I even put my best people on the case to help my forum buddies (as those who have dealt with some of my team will no doubt testify ). I only do it as a favour but, because we sell so much volume, the odd one at cost makes no difference to me. If my cars were paid for by my special forum deals I'd probably have to drive something with under 400bhp. God forbid

If theres nothing wrong with your 3GS I would swap to sim only wait, and than buy what ever handset you want next hands free. Your saving £324 in 12months simply by getting out of the £40 p/m contract. You can than sell your old handset for what £100, and you can buy a Unlocked iPhone and not be tied into another £40 p/m contract for 24months etc.....There's nothing radically new on the 4GS, shame the rumoured new iPhone 5 didn't make an appearance.

MB - unless you're getting a special deal as an existing customer, that 300 mins, unltd SMS Sim Only tariff doesn't include data (1gb is an extra £10!).

It's also £15.50 Per month for new customers (well, that's the regular tariff cost anyway).

I have just come off the phone from them (o2) and I can confirm that I am getting 300 mins, unlimited texts and 100 meg of data. 100 megs is not much but my average is 90 megs.

Now need to source a cheap ip4 and ill be happy

That sounds alright, but £6 extra for 500mg is a bit rubbish, mind you, getting 3g on o2 is so rare that I never use my data anyway.

In fact I am desperate to move away from o2, their coverage is appalling, after having an iPad on Three it made me realise just how poor it is.

But really not sure which way to go as the one place I do struggle to get reception on Three, and the only place so far around the country apart from a cottage we hired in Devon, is my office!


Anyone tried one of the passive antennas that drag the signal from outside to inside?

I'm moving from O2 to vodafone, and they supply a box that boosts your signal via your wifi. I've gone sim only for our phones and purchased the phones outright, it'll save me approx £1500+ per year, and the reception is better in my area.

Check out their sim only business rates ;

I never understood the boosting signal from wifi thing

Wouldn't you just use your wifi for data and GPRS/Edge for calling?
