If that's the case why do they have the iphone advertised as coming soon to Pay & Go?

"Customers will soon be able to enjoy all the great features of iPhone without a monthly contract with the iPhone for Pay & Go."

Why would you want to unlock the phone now, it's on a cheap contract, it's going to be available on Pay & Go. It's available in LOADS of countries!

You can also transfer your current number from any existing phone to O2 so i don't see why anyone would want to unlock the iPhone.

I agree with Marc here, The reason you need to go through activation for the contract iPhone is because it's subsidised this time like other mobile phones.

However there will be a PAYG version that we will be able to buy (At a higher cost I assume) and then unlock.

If you currently have a contract which you can't or don't want to break but do want an iPhone then you would probably want an unlocked one no?

I agree but then that is what the PAYG version is for is it not?

PAYG option please! For fifteen quid on same O2, i now get unlimited O2-O2 minutes (great for MY collection of PAYG o2 contacts) i get massive text allowances, and most of that fifteen quid to spend on the few cross-network calls i DO make. I don't want a contract, so i will wait to hear what SIMable have to say ;)

Well keeping with the spirit of everyone feeling iRate, here's how much slimmer the iPhone 3G has made my Wish List :

Set your music as a ringtone

Proper bluetooth for sending files

Decent camera, not that 2MP insult

Dock thrown in

Hotmail support (fat chance)

Card slot (clinically obese chance)

Record video

Tactile feedback

More video codec support

MMS (sod email, everyone - everywhere - has this)

Might as well round out my fat jokes by concluding that it's not exactly the Brittonesque transformation my list was hoping for. But I won't lie - the price is tempting me anyway.

Eek - sorry, I meant full Bluetooth DEVICE capability - like for a stereo profile. But on second thought, I'd easily trade that in for just better signal quality, since it's purporting to be a phone.
