Now the pain of upgrading jailbroken phones begins :(

In other news, Jesus phone now free on 35 quid contract

Reduction in order to clear stocks in advance of release of new model? Apple normally update the iphone in June, I would imagine that the new OS will be released around this time too.

I got mine free on a £35, 18 month, contract last October.

Thats pretty, hmmm may have to do this cos I can

As delighted as I am with my new I-phone, I have found that I have lost the cellular signal on more occasions over the last 4 days than I did during 10 years as a Vodafone customer. I called 02 customer services tonight and their advice was surprising. If I don't want my phone calls to be interrupted due to losing a signal I should switch my phone from 3g to 2g mode. The 02 advisor said that they were constantly improving their 3g Network but this does tend to confirm what I have read, that Vodafone is the only Service Provider in the UK that has a reasonable 3g Network.

My phone calls get cut off all the time. I often joke that whilst the iphone is a great games machine / email client / weather centre / guitar tuner / music player / internet radio / web browser / gps device etc etc etc

...it really is a piss poor phone.

Really? I've never been cut off.
I tend not to make many long calls though, so maybe that's why

Me neither, although I prefer the crackberry for longer calls

Looks like there is a bunch of good stuff in the new firmware, hope the iphone dev team jailbreak it asap

like what good stuff? any hints?

mms, cut and paste, forward sms, archive sms

MMS is very handy, cut and paste could be.

I'd like an ipod search function - there don't seem to be one within the app.

forward sms as well is handy

Where from? Everywhere i look online has the handset price at £155 still.

its been a real pain not having the power to be able to forward on messages its really annoying

8GB was free from CPW on £35 contract.

good. paid £155 for it on that contract a month ago :grrr:
