Default Finally ordered an iPhone.

Yeps, will be here on tuesday fingers crossed!

Its only a 3GS 8GB model, but since the iPhone 4 is looming, its come down to more realistic prices on contracts without stupidly huge phone deposits to make. I've got this on the same deal as my current contract, due to expire in Aug, and got the iPhone free. So I'm paying exactly the same as now, which is mint!

Just need to terminate my contract with t-mobile when it arrives now so I can get my PAC and keep my phone number... Should be interesting! haha!

Now all I need is a mac mini to use as a media centre, a macbook pro to replace my laptop, (already have an iMac!) and a mac pro to replace my quad core pc, and I'm a fully fledged mac convert.... pmsl!

Is there anything thats a MUST HAVE application wise for the iPhone then guys?

I've been with t-mobile for 5+ years, and always have several contracts on the go at once (BB, phone etc) and I'm just not happy with them anymore as the problems with my laptop repair under warranty, and being continually cut off.

Its bad enough, as a customer I have to deal with call centre staff who don't understand English, its even worse when they cut you off between departments.

It took 10 phone calls to ring 150, before the person who answered it connected me customer service successfully. Thats disgraceful!

I'm actually terminating my contract earlier, and paying the termination charge I'm that annoyed.

Its the iPhone 3GS, the current model, not the very latest iPhone4. I'm not prepared to pay stupid money in a deposit or monthly contract fees, and I'm going with the assumption the current iPhone 3GS software so be pretty much perfect now.

Unless I update to OS4 of course! pmsl.

Well its here.

It must have shipped with iOS4 installed, because its showing its software version as 4.0, and the latest iTunes 9.2 is saying it has the latest updates which is cool.

The signal in my house is just as bad as t-mobile (oh well!), but OMG the touch screen is amazing! I thought the Nokia 5800 it replaced had a decent touch screen, but this is stunning.

I'm very happy - Or at least was until I went to sync my rather large music collection and found out that, at 48GB its a wee bit too large to fit on it... So I'm currenting synching some of my favourite music now and I'm going to completely scale it down to it all fits.

First signs (besides the crap signal!) are good! I've even been listening to Chicargo police on a iPhone app! haha!
