- Good to hear from you Meraj. I'm willing to bet it wasn't a Nokia N97 that you gave to your father?

o2 iPhone customers: Upgrade to 8GB iPhone free*

Started by Ewan · 1 year ago

I’m pleased to see that o2 has sensibly cleared the way for an easy upgrade path for it’s existing iPhone customers — according to the details on their site (that I, rather unhelpfully, can’t link to directly):

To thank you for being an iPhone fan, we’re offering you an early upgrade to the brand new [...] ... Continue reading »

Any existing o2 customers like to comment on the current 3G coverage/performance?

No point in having a swanky device if it can't connect....if (rumours being correct) they were capping 3G users at 128kB previously, what will the i3G mean for the network?

It was still quite annoying watching Steve on stage doing that speed

I must admit though, I can't stop wondering about that whole O2 3G speed debacle. I'll be comparing the speed on my old an new iPhone's when I get one. And if O2 customer services call me a 'technie nerd' when I ring to complain I won't be happy...

I just want it to be reasonably fast.
3G isn't generally fast enough for my tastes -- whether it's on 3, Vodafone
or whoever. I like fast wifi.

You're in luck then - O2's adding BT Openzone Wifi to the Cloud offering they currently include.

Adding BT Openzone to the free wi-fi part of the tarrif should make you happy then.

Just thought of something - there's got to be some sort of browser id hack you could pull to get a laptop version of Safari to identify itself as an iPhone to the BT & the Cloud wi-fi networks. That + an O2 mobile number = free laptop internet access. Interesting...

The Cloud uses MAC address to authenticate iPhones for free access AFAIK.

Still no announcement on the upgrade cost of 16GB model... :-(
