    iPhone 4

    I'm looking for a bit of advice on getting an iPhone 4 contract.

    Where is the cheapest place to go, somewhere like Carphone Warehouse / Phones 4U, or direct to the network ie. O2 or Orange? Or is there a good alternative?

    I'm looking for roughly 600mins, 300 text, and a 1gb of internet.

    Anyone got any deals/networks they would recommend? I'm open to any suggestions. Also, how flexible to negotiations are the deals?

    Ta.

    Just check out how many iPhone help threads are on this forum. More people are realising that there are better operating systems and better phones out there than the iPhone. As I have said elsewhere most iphone users will not admit this because they have been brainwashed into the apple hype. Where is the sheep smiley

    Thanks. I'm a little worried about the network coverage, and getting a reception in certain areas with Tesco mobile. I take it that its never been a problem for you?

    I've never been on a contract before, why is a 12months one better than say an 18 or 24 month one?

    Because you can upgrade your phone after 12 months instead of 18 or 24 months

    I may be wrong here, but you'll not find a difference in contract prices between different companies as Apple set a standard price for the iPhone, like they do with all of their products.

    You will get differentiation in the price depending on length and usage etc, but that will still be a standard price wherever you go.

    And I wouldn't even bother getting an iPhone 4. They're flawed in so many ways. I know someone who even went back to his 3GS. I'd get the 3GS if you really want one now, or wait until the iPhone 5 comes out next July, with the new 4g internet.

    I've had an iPhone since May and can honestly say I've not had a single problem with it yet.

    My iPhone 4 is the best thing I've ever bought. There are other very good smartphones too, but for my demands the iPhone has the most answers. The App side of things is unrivalled.

    What are your demands? The apps on smart phones are 99% gimmicks imho.
