Reminds me of Sony hi-fi and TV in the 1980's and 90's.....they'd bring out a new model of everything in their range about twice a year.

The only differences were cosmetic enhancements.......but people bought the new stuff.

I particularly like the bloke who had a 4S and said it was better!

Reminds me, years ago I was reading about Japanese manufacturing e.g. electronics/cars. What they would do is release a model every 6 months with incremental changes which result from better manufacturing process etc whereas the West would try and beat them by introducing fancy stuff that inevitably broke due to lack of investment in producing it just to keep ahead! The key bit would be the culture of the Japanese in that it must not break down so that was infused into production.

Even more amusing is that Western manufacturers can barely export to Japan because they don't believe anyone can meet their standards (amongst other things).

I see several people are ringing O2 up for there PAC code now.

Hopefully some sense might return to the forum once the idiots start leaving.

I reckon you should have an O2 account for an O2 product to be allowed to even post on here, if your not an O2 customer then go away

I had a cracking bacon and egg sarnie at lunchtime on a huge cheese topped bap.

Yes, I've enjoyed my day......!

I gave up queuing and waiting years ago, if I ever decided I wanted one of these gizmos, which is highly unlikely, I would wait until the fuss died down and all the bugs and fixes were sorted out, and stroll into the local shop and discuss it at leisure.

I want one of those blenders, can I get out of my contract now as it only has nineteen months left to run, and I expect some loyalty as I've been with O2 continuously for five months and have never missed a payment, other than being a bit late with the first three?

Well ok, O2 did send in the debt collectors but a big company should be able to get over that.

I want it delivered to the Cayman Islands, now!

I thought of throwing myself off the River Kwai bridge today because I couldn't access the shop pages from here. So no iphone5 for me!
