Do you think they will allow existing iPhone customers early upgrade again?

Because Apple are allowing the phones to be subsidised by the network now, therefore you get the phone cheap when you enter a contract and are then locked in for the remainder.
However, it's entirely possible that they may allow a handset upgrade (for $$$ and new contract terms) knowing that pretty much every iPhone customer will want to upgrade.....kerching.
I heard no but cant remember the reason

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion
True. But they could add a premium onto the handset price for early upgrading, enough to make users switch and enough to give o2 a nice little bounty for locking them into new contracts.
Or they could just say f**k off and wait till the end of your contract.
Either way they're pretty much guaranteed that you'll be staying with them and with the iPhone.
(I am one of those people who has no particular fondness of hanging onto a number, so I have no problem in ditching my current contract and switching to a new one to get a cheaper handset - text all contacts with new number, job done!)

How you working out a 52 month contract?
I love my iPhone, can't wait for the next one. But i will be so damn annoyed if there is no upgrade available.

3.0 is just a OS upgade, meaning software. I doubt a new phone will be following soon. Theres nothing that the current one doesnt do, apart from bluetooth, it's just software updates that are needed.
Copy and paste was rummored by Kevin Rose at the weekend, and his rummors are normally correct. He also says that it's going to bring the iphone up to the level of the Palm Pre.

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion
Exactly, being able to forward text messages would be more useful than cut & paste, even on phones I had that allow cut and paste I can probably count on one hand the number of times I actually used it, SMS forwarding on the other hand....
Background application support is a requirement for sat nav, no background apps = no sat nav.

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion
It requires a jailbroken phone which doesn't have a restriction on background applications so therefore it will work.

Ok, so that ones in the App store, but it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
a) No voice guidance. lol
b) No navigation while in call. double lol
Point b requires background applications and/or a suitable framework for sharing in the incall UI with the phone.

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion
It sure does look pretty though.
If they provided a framework which allowed the "in call" state to share the UI then they could allow sat nav to work properly without the need for background applications and when the phone is "turned off" then the app stops running, it'd be a good compromise.

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion
Hopefully OS 3.0 does mean there will be new hardware to follow, as my contract is up in May and i could be tempted by a new Iphone, providing it can do the BASIC functions i need a phone to do (MMS, Copy + Paste, forwarding etc......)
also can you set your own text tone on the 3g yet?
