    Keep hovering over the buy button, but £530 is a lot of money for a phone.

    Got a feeling I'd miss the S3, too.

    Envirophone are paying £150 for iPhone 4 32gb. eBay are selling 2nd hand for £200. That should give u rough idea of a price
    Cheers! Thinking maybe about £170-£180.

    @ElNino9

    It's an insane amount of money, especially if you own a S3.

    My laptop cost me less than £500, the idea of spending more than that on a smartphone which isn't anywhere near as powerful as said laptop and does little more than my year old HTC (that I got for £60 on my contract) is alien to me.

    Do people really have that much trouble with micro usb ports? I imagine someone trying to 10 minutes to plug something in before proclaiming to the heavens that "this infernal port was created by satan himself!"

    Do you get it pretty much straight away but you maybe have to actually look and are slightly overblowing what is infact an incredibly minor annoyance?
    This. Never even had a thought about it, it's such a small thing that I do every day without even noticing half the time.

    USB and Micro USB ports are stupidly designed but who cares.

    Been reading the last couple of pages and it boggles my mind that people have trouble with USB ports.

    It's nice to just slip one in from behind without looking.

    Give yourself ½ gig or a £, you're worth it.

    Can't say I've ever had a problem with the mini usb port on my Note that has lasted more than the split second it takes to turn it around!

    Pissy pants.

    ... anyone watched the iPhone 5 video on the Apple website?

    I am impressed by the machinery they use as well as the mechanical details, but has Jive or whatever his name is been brainwashed?

    With quotes like, 'the way the phones FFEEEELLSS in your hand' and 'YOUR iPhone is the most important thing in YOUR life' makes it all ten times creepier than it already is, especially the way they all talk as if YOU and EVERYONE already owns an iPhone.

    Puts me right off buying their stuff to be honest!

    I'm guessing that as the lead designer he feels a sense of ownership and pride in his work!

    (Plus, he's also looking forward to the huge bonus that he'll get for hitting certain sales).

    Its still too small for me, plus i dont think the added height is all that, its the width that was missing.

    Sticking with my note for the next year.

    What i really want is a smaller lighter ipad, the ipad 3 is too heavy to game properly on it, and the ipod touch is too expensive and small for what it is.

    Can only get 16 gb with upgrade, so probably trade in my 4s for £240 via envirophone,trade my new 5 for £350 from envirophone or eBay it. Put the money towards buying 32gb or pay out extra £100 for 64 gb version
    Ebay it, you'd get way more than £350 for it.

    Yeah seen someone wanting £700 for a 16gb version on EBa, whether if he gets It or not is another story. Should have put an order in for order through the apple store earlier. Never sold anything on EBay good time to pop that cherry

    Update on eBay $9,000 dollars for 64 gb unlocked version. Crazy people

    With the 2-3 week waiting period be quoted on new orders, I think you'd easily get £600 for a 16GB.

    Used O2 recycle a couple of times, both good experiences. Little slow, but played the full amount.

    Seem to give more than anyone else.

    Yay!

    ... not just me then.

    I have used them to recycle my HTC Desire (lovely phone, that was), my brothers iPhone 3GS (had a slightly cracked screen too) and my iPad 2 for the new one earlier this year.

    Aye, there's something very Scientologyish about Ives and co. I did think the bit about the machining technique and the 70 odd different shaped doodads they have to match variations in the alu quite interesting though.

    @ElNino9 I'd buy your 5 for a little
    more than enviro phone if you were willing to sell to someone and not trade in

    Cheers!

    I thought I'd check how much they were on contract yesterday and had to laugh at T-mobile.

    For the same plan of unlimited everything with the cheapest version of the iPhone5 you can either pay £49 once then £41 for 2 years or pay £19 once then £61 for 2 years.

    An additional £30 one off payment or an additional £20 payment 24 times.

    They not giving you much incentive to go for the larger package.
