It's not out yet... (the 3GS I mean) - soon though, very soon...!! I've deliberately delayed my upgrade on my O2 contract so I can get the new 32Gb phone...

I sat there like a geek last night watching the macrumors live feed from the show. Looks great and some very, very necessary updates to the software will be happily received.

(OT - Snow leopard looks great too!)

Just to be sure - you're talking about a phone, right?

Updated to Safari 4 on my PC this morning. I like the new look of several web pages being displayed at the same time.

iPhone OS 3.0 should be a free upgrade to all iPhone users as before. Touch owners may be asked for £9.99 to upgrade as before.

Eagerly awaiting OS3.0 but I have to say other than more storage the new iPhone itself seems a bit underwhelming.

I was thinking that there isn't much difference between the 3G and 3GS the OS3.0 upgrade is what i want!!

For the first time I wont bother upgrading yet - yes I'd like a better battery life and more memory etc but I'm not shelling out the money they want for the phone this time round.

Indeed - my contract is up on 18th December, so will wait till then to get the 3G S, unless of course they bring out something newer!

v3 of the software will be a huge improvement.

Just to make everyone aware, if you're already on an O2 iPhone plan, it's worth seeing if you're on the O2 Priority List. Basically, if you continually spend a minimum of £35 per month on your iPhone contract, you get a 1 month advance on your upgrade (ie. you can upgrade after 17 months as opposed to 18)

If you continually spend a minimum of £50 per month, you get a 3 month early upgrade. And if you continually spend a minimum of £85 a month, you get a 6 month early upgrade. So for Z4Beemer above, instead of his contract running out on 18th December this year, he could possibly get an early upgrade on 18th June !!

It's worth seeing what upgrade you are entitled to - you should call O2 customer services by dialling 402 from your mobile (for existing O2 customers obviously!)


I've spent the morning talking to them and organising my O2 accounts, with the result that it's only going to cost me £90ish to upgrade to the 32Gb iPhone 3GS, keeping my tariffs as they are, and getting a European Plus bolt-on thrown in for good measure!!!

When I spoke to O2 yesterday, they said that I can upgrade during the 18th month of my existing contract (or as you say, after 17 months) which is from 18th December. The actual end date is 18th January 2010. To be honest I'm happy to wait a few months. I did the queuing up thing last July when the 2nd gen iPhone was launched, so I'm happy to sit this one out.

I updated my Iphone to 3.0 which has some nice features but none of my old apps work.

But is worth doing, I guess the apps will get updates soon.
