On a serious note, iPhones have always been proof that mid-range hardware can still be awesome with a well designed OS.]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/
What's the difference between the 'eco' and the 'evo'?

Can you get either in the UK? ...or was that just an irrelevant and inaccurate statement?]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Android is great and I currently have a nexus one but the problem is that the platform is not allowing high end developers to develop, games are too small and thus graphics suck...my iphone 3g was wayyy better in its applications than my current nexus so dont tell me the evo is better coz all its options and speed are not even worth having them with those shitty apps ( 30000 worthless apps)

If I get one it'll be a white 16GB unlocked one and it'll be a bit later in the year.

Also, has anyone started making SIM/mini-SIM adapters yet?

Clearly a screw up at their end.]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/
It is not a screw up - O2 have confirmed that the price of iPhone 4 on that tariff is more expensive for 24 month than 18 month

its all to do with the minimum-TCO as in the end you will pay more for the 18 than the 24. See the Q&A thats gone on in O2's twitter feed

Tesco Mobile offered some really good 12 month contract.

yes...in my arse, it's pretty well shielded up there, but considering how shit O2's service is I'm quite surprised :P]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/you know he could have just lived with a mobile and checked coverage every so often...

Isn't it possible for others to do the same? I tell ya, the unlimited web bolt-on is the way to go. Around £7/month or as a free bolt-on if your contract offers it! I really recommend O2. Although these graphs don't rate them as number one, you'll have access to "The Cloud" wi-fi hotspots of which there's loads.]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/As your renewing the contract on a month by onth basis it will not be unlimited data it will revert to the standard 500Mb or they will fall back on the "fair use policy" statement and call your usage as being outside that. If you don't use more than 500Mb a month then yes the £20 a month tarriff is pretty sweet but the sim free cost of the phone will be a pretty big sum to fork out at the start ]]>Jun 18th 2010 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/I'm in the same boat. I think the SIM free iPhone is £20 more over 24 months but I think that's worth it for unlimited web and being able to use different sims when you are abroad. Also means you can sell your phone in a year to get the iPhone 5 :) ]]>Jun 18th 2010 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/Jun 18th 2010 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/
That said, the best deal is still Sim Free and then GiffGaff. 32 gig phone for £599. Then £10/month for 100 mins, unlim textx and unlim data. TCO there is £779. They roam on O2's network.]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/how-to-figure-out-the-best-value-iphone-4-contracts-in-the-uk/I personally think the best way to pay the best bang for buck is:
Buy a Simfree iPhone, 16GB or 32GB, whatever floats you boat.
Then get a £15 a month contract with tesco mobile, this includes 500minutes, unlimited texts and data.
Poifict :)
But GiffGaff is also a suitable choice.
