Sounds like they are popular whatever they are!

Mrs Posh and I are waiting until September for the white version. The black I-Phone shows every fingerprint on the case.I would have liked to have seen a 5 meg camera on a phone coming from the gizmo kings Apple. Watch out the Movistar assistants don't fob you off with the 8g phone insist on the 16g.Later in the year the tariffs may improve remember you are locked in for 12-18months. Gives them a chance to clear up any bugs the phone may have.You also need to down load i-tunes 7.7 to get the best from the present i-phone.

When was that Jurdy? I was told that none of the shops will have them until September!!! Unless you go to Madrid but that is a bit too far for me.

Ah yes, the trusty Motorola DynaTAC 8000... 2lbs of RF electronics with 8 hours of standby time or 60 minutes of call time. For some reason, it reminds me of that old Audi ad with that pillock of a city type...

After such a fantastic launch in Madrid it now seems to be a bit of a non event.:curse:
I've got one of the new 3G version.. Had to end up getting a contract phone in Germany but since I have both a UK & German contract phone anyway it wasn't a problem.

Camera is a bit pants and no car navigation as yet

No it`s jurdyr gurdi, translation to follow....

He put the order in friday, got it the Monday after.
He knows how to use an Ipod so can handle the phone.
Long ago a geezer tried to steal his cd player so he hit him with his phone (old style brick)

I have a website where you can buy the iphone 1 unblocked from an oficial company delivered to your door in your own language for 410 euros, no contract. Dont think i will be able to put the link on here so PM me anyone who wants it. I am in 2 minds whether to get one. Here are the options i have:

1. Iphone 3G with movistar. 989 euros. ( 149 for the phone + 35€ per month for 2 years) OR

2. Iphone 1st generation 410€ unblocked (but still brand new with 1 year guarantee) delivered to my door.

Thoughts...................................
