It’s Official
September 18 2007
As widely rumoured, discussed and let’s face it expected, the iPhone for the UK was announced on O2 this morning at the London Apple Store.
The main points:
- Available November 9 2007
- £269 on an 18 month contract (ok)
- Tariffs £35, £45 and £55 per month - all include unlimited data. (good)
- EDGE only (no 3g) - O2 claim 30% EDGE availability at time of launch* (dissapointing)
- Access to 7,000 WiFi hotspots from The Cloud included with contract (cool)
Will I be buying one? Nope I don’t think I will. Think I’ll wait for the 3G version - which I expect to be out in H2 08 - about the time my contract ends…
* O2 are clearly rolling out EDGE already - as of last week, I have EDGE access at my home.
