Too Geek To Be True

[Latest Updated] Well, I just been told that the Online trading will indeed continue to be supported this weekend :) If you have been waiting to get the iPhone 4 on the Three network, congratulations! Today is the day! Today Three has announced the sale of the iPhone 4 in the UK nationwide in Three [...]

Following Steve Jobs’ promise at the Special Apple Press Conference last week, this morning iPhone 4 users woke up with an email from Apple in their inbox.  The email is confirming the eligibility of the user to get a free iPhone 4 Bumper (or a selected third-party case).  It’s also giving a further instruction to [...]

Finally, after waiting for so long, Three UK announced their iPhone 4 prices and plans.  But here is the thing, Three announced it on the day of the launch date!  It’s on the day where people were supposed to be queueing outside every Apple Stores and Mobile Network shops around the country!  It’s the day [...]

I must admit, I was a bit sceptical when I saw Steve announcing Facetime at this year’s WWDC, especially after that demo video they played then.  I mean, c’mon, video calling is not new at all, I’ve had it on several of my phones (not-iPhone) since the day the mobile phone vendors released the front-facing [...]

It seems that some ‘very lucky’ people has been allowed to play around with the iPhone 4 before the launch date on Thursday the 24th, and now that Apple’s embargo has been lifted up, we can read some of these reviews. The reviewers seem to be divided into 2 camps, in one side are the [...]

It’s not too long until we can get our sweat palm on the new iPhone 4, and I must say here in the UK we are quite spoiled with choices.  For a start, you can go SIM-Free!  When you buy one of the handset from one of the Apple Store on a full price, you [...]

I have to say that O2‘s marketing arm had done quite a good job in promoting the imminent arrival of the new iPhone 4. From the well-thought  mini-site; to the informative email countdown, and the very helpful O2 Twitter account (one that actually has somebody on the other side to answer your question, almost individually). [...]

[UPDATE] At the end Three did post their prices and plans, and launch the iPhone 4 in time. But for me it was already to late. Though it should be ok, if you are an existing Three customers, or you missed the first round of iPhone 4 sales. I’ve updated also my spreadsheet comparison of [...]

Ok, I admit, I should’ve checked first before I posted my last write-up … sorry about that.  So, apparently Vodafone has also released its iPhone Pricing and Plans. Checking at the list, in a glance, it seems to me that O2 still has the best deals.  The only things that could make a difference with [...]

Well … well … well … just right after I wrote my post about O2 UK pricing and plans for the new iPhone 4, I’ve got an email from O2, saying that only O2 customers will have their hands first on the new iPhone 4 at the launch day, and this preferential treatment will continue [...]
