Yeah, this version has "up-to-date" features and not just a pretty interface built on old architecture!!

Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR (but see below) and even though we are now on v2.1 !!! Seems, for once, Apple like to play catch up.
3G naturally
GPS
Unbelievably still only one camera!! (obviously no 3G Video calling then)

The bad news:

There’s still no user-swappable battery, copy-and-paste function, memory card slot, video recording, Bluetooth stereo audio or and this one pi$*es me right off - no MMS

Just because the americanos do not use it does not mean the rest of the world don't!! Madness - looks like we will be reliant on SwirlyMMS again

...and can you use MP3s as ringtones? You couldn't on the last one if I remember right. Crazy given it's an MP3 player This is what generally annoys me about Apple kit, they tend to prioritise form over function.

You can install an app called Phonezap which will do that for you....any song and I mean any song on your IPhone. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Yeah, but why should you have to... Apple have dropped the ball if you ask me. I might be convinced to have one if it wasn't going to cost me, but £200 for something that's nowt more than a toy!!

I sound like my Dad!

Thing is, at the "alleged" £99 it is pretty pi** poor that all of these things are not standard and yeah I agree, trouble is.....I tried to hate it and resorted back to my 3G "everything included" as standard Nokia......

24 hrs later, I was firing up the IPhone again even with all its misgivings and shortcomings!!

Is that not the retail price anyway???? $199 equates to approx £100 - does not seem much of a deal to me.....although I personally would snap there hands off

....I WANT ONE NOW!!!!!!

Will,
I know that but it's very unusual to be offered an upgrade 1 month into a contract. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.
