    Re: So I bought this Expensive Apple Product

    Don't have to, but they'd be quite cheeky not giving me a decent upgrade option given that I've probably been quite a profitable customer. Also, I am not sure if switching out of O2 would nullify the O2 broadband discount. Mind you, I am still waiting for more user feedback of the new phone.

    I was a customer for several years, this years upgrades are none existant, there were plenty of people saying the same a few months ago. Loyalty used to mean a £100 discount or at least a fiver off your line rental but not any more. As for broadband, know anyone else with an O2 phone?

    Really? How things have changed. Oh well, guess I'll either jump ship or go for another phone after all.

    Second that, been with O2 when they bought out Cellnet (so I was with cellnet...) and I got nothing from them this year, much cheaper switching to Vodafone, though I've found the signal isn't as good.

    I was with 02 years ago, I was sorta tempted to go back to them but after having looked at their latest deals I'm glad I stuck with Orange.

    Re: So I bought this Expensive Apple Product

    has the yellow faded?

    has it bollocks.

    Am I going to have to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, armed with an offering of a receipt only to request a refund. I think so.

    But what I can say is that over the few days I've been an Apple owner, I've got a much better hair cut, the weather has been just lovely, I've been ************ less, and suddenly buying a Vespa seams like a magical sensible idea.

    Re: So I bought this Expensive Apple Product

    No I figure a new core i7, the win7 phone isn't out till october, which is a shame I didn't get my arse in gear and get hold of one of the dev ones, I've made a couple of apps for it already.

    (Also I REFUSE to use coca, they can suck on my yellow dot (wait that makes no sense) if jobs thinks that is a better technology than silverlight)

    Hmmm yes spending that wedge on a core I7 would be a better option, I mean you can overclock that, you can't do that with an iPhone.

    ROFL. I just googled it. The Steve jobs tweet in question is from a spoof account. Daily Fail indeed.

    Re: So I bought this Expensive Apple Product

    Another thing that's gotten my goat about this hole thing, is that I'm mildly addicted to that geo defense game.

    But the main one, that one that means it will probably be another 3+ years before I buy an Apple product again.

    That 'bumper' case. How come that was out on launch day, do they acknowledge that the phone as is, suffers from design faults? And how on earth can they charge £30 for it. I mean For **** SAKE JOBS.

    I've just given you pretty much a whole days pay to buy your sodding thing, and you can't even include that for the price tag? I mean really, you total donkey raping ****eater. £30, I could have one fabbed to my order from one of them thar 3d printing firms.

    I'm really vexed right now, the yellow has also gotten worse

    Just kill the thing with fire. So far the iPhone 4 isn't all its meant to be. If your left handed you can't hold it as you'd like, they come with yellows splodges on the screen. Apple would have you believe that they make quality kit. Not so sure they have this time round.
