	UK Releae Date & Prices The iPhone will be released in the UK on the 9th November. The phones will be sold in O2, Carphone Warehouse and Apple stores costing �269 including VAT. The iPhone will be on the O2 network. It will be on an 18-month contract on a tariff of �35 (200 minutes and 200 texts), �45 (600 minutes and 500 texts) and �55 per month (1200 minutes and 500 texts), all of which will include unlimited mobile data usage. Highlighted parts made me laugh hardest. What a load of pish. Watch it fly out the doors though.

O2 has the UK rights to the iPhone. I think it looks fantastic. I'm getting an iPod Touch when it's released next week but I would rather get an iPhone if it didn't have extortional monthly costs.

	Does this not take the conventional sim card then? So there's no chance of using my '�10 a month, 500 free texts' sim? I can't be fucked reading for it and i'm sure someone will know here.

	I've heard about people hacking it so they don't have to deal with the contract and can use whatever provider they want. But I'm not sure how all that works out technically..

	There's vids on youtube on how to unlock it. But i don't think you can actually buy the iphone without being tied to the original contract.

	Apple are slowly taking over the Earth... Apparently the price in America dropped by like �100 dollars. Everyone who'd bought it at the original price complained so Steve was like 'Fine, have $100 back!' I think it was $100 store credit or equivalent. Naturally. I'd rather have a phone that worked well as a phone rather than a phone that was in fact a GPS, internet thing, MP3 player etc etc, none of them being features I would use on my phone.

	Saw them in NY apple store. nothing special and my first impression was that it was slightly on the bulky side compared to other phones out just now.
