iPhone 3GS and o2

With the announcement of the new iPhone 3GS the predictable rage at upgrades is now the issue. It’s not unexpected as the handsets aren’t subsidised however still annoying to those people who want the latest and greatest.

o2 have now published their upgrade policy on how you can get a 3GS. Basically, buy a pay as you go phone, pay up your remaining monthly contract and sign a new one or dependent on how much you pay monthly take advantage of the early upgrade windows.

I’ll certainly put 3.0 on my phone but if it’s worth upgrading as much as I’d like to I’m not sure. In my case with 9 months left I think the pay out contract option would be cheapest – still very expensive though. Of course there’s always eBay…

According to the O2 store selected retail stores are getting limited stock tomorrow (Wednesday 16th July) and more by Friday 25th. I wonder how long the queue in Reading is already?

Whilst having the 3G and the ability to find myself, geographically speaking, I’m not it’s worth it just yet. I might wait 6 months and see what Apple do.

Got a text from O2 saying that my tariff is being upgraded… woo! Instead of 200 minutes I now have 600 and 500 texts from 200.

Hopefully they’ll release a 3G version and give us all discounted upgrades.
