    you do the maths

    pay as you go 16g 3gs £440 + 18*£20 = £800
    pay monthly 16g 3gs £185 - £60 + 18*£35 = £755

    I guess with the pay as you go you can stop and ebay it whenever you want

    Cheers for that fella,

    Hmm so it's on O2 pay as you go? I wouldn't want to use their sims though - I have T-mobile solo 35 - I'd have to still get it unlocked i reckon...

    Don't you need an especially small head phone plug for it to work on an iPhone? So it's not exactly a normal socket. I don't think my Sure's would plug into an iPhone.

    Anyway, swings and roundabouts. I don't need anything special to connect my HTC to a PC, just a mini USB cable and drivers build into Windows.... or linux or MacOS (when in USB mass storage mode at least).

    Re: iPhone 3GS S

    Can you use it with a regular top sim e.g. no monthly fee?
    I might find an old 2G and do that if it's possible. even these cost £175 xD

    Re: iPhone 3GS S

    Great . remember it's only 250mb per month free ... guess after some serious ad and content blocking it could go quite a way.

    You can't jailbreak the 3GS yet, ( http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=2311 ) only 2G / 3G running FW 3.0 down. But keep checking this site, which will let you know once you can.

    Nope, that was only the 1st gen iPhone. The new ones take all standard 3.5mm headphones.
    Not around too often!

    Re: iPhone 3GS S

    My wife and I both got one. She missed the 3G due to contract timings so really wanted this one. The 3GS came out just as our previous contracts came to an end so it worked out well. I mainly got it for the "new toy" factor. The access to webmail has been handy since they block WiFi and webmail at my current client site. Nice upgrade over my old phone (Sony Ericsson W910i) so can't complain.

    Re: iPhone 3GS S

    Nike + (Put the chip in your shoe and it pairs up with iPod) - Gimmick.
    Voice commands and notes - Gimmick, can do voice memos on 3.0 anyway.
    3 MP camera with auto focus - Now only two years behind...
    VGA video recording at 30fps - ^.
    Tethering - For £15 extra a month on my O2 contract.
    16 or 32 GB memory - A good point .
    MMS - We've hit the 21st century.
    Twice as fast as previous generations with upgraded processor - Cool.
    Better battery life - Better than the original iphone? The 3G wasnt.


    So no, i shall not be getting a 3G "Super Duper" S. And on that point, im actually swapping my iphone for a HTC touch pro 2.

    You CAN jailbreak 3.0 on windows for both 2g and 3g. Alot of people saying you cant because quickpwn havent released anything. Use redsn0w it's far quicker.
