(More seriously, well done T-Mobile, shame they aren't trying to offer it to everyone "sim-free" if you just happen to pick up a sim in the store while you're there who's to know style.)]]>Aug 4th 2009 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 5:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/
I'll do it if u cover shipping and a small fee, say $50AUD]]>Aug 4th 2009 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/
Their network is TERRIBLE. Even in central London, I only get 3G coverage about 40% of the time. When I do get 3G coverage, the speeds are terrible. Google.com takes about 20 seconds to load. Add that to the many network outages and you really wonder why anyone would choose O2 as their network.

I'd love to have an iPhone on Vodafone, T-Mobile or even 3.]]>Aug 4th 2009 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/

And I wonder how T-Mobile plans to offer support. Obviously, Apple isn't going to warrant these "black market" devices.]]>Aug 4th 2009 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/
Unless they are hacked apple has to warrant these devices. EU law states so.

And even hacked phones if its a clear hardware failure.]]>Aug 4th 2009 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/
Hate to disagree but if you buy it from T-Mobile the law states the 1 year warranty is their problem ]]>Aug 4th 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/

I think they're importing the iPhones from the Czech Republic where T-Mobile is one of the three Providers (besides O2 and Vodafone) that are selling the officially unlocked iPhones.

Anyway, shame on T-Mobile: In Germany T-Mobile forbid Vodafone importing officially unlocked iPhones from Italy. Why do they think they can do something in the UK which they forbid Vodafone to do in Germany?]]>Aug 4th 2009 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 5th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/Aug 4th 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/t-mobile-uk-sneakily-offering-iphone-3g-to-moneyed-customers/
