I was referring to o2 moblie as opposed to broadband, people thinking they can demand a free upgrade to an iPhone 3gs when they're only 13 months into an 18 month contract etc etc etc.
Oh, my bad. I emails from that many topics I forget which ones are where
I see your point though. They should do research before buying anything, their fault if they don't.
With the success of the iphone and the way the market seems to be going o2 are apparently going to try and makes themselves 'the home of the smart phone'. This is really going to pick up once the exclusivity deal with apple is finally over. Although o2 already have the blackberry and samsung i7500 you'll soon see the palm pre and also the sony ericsson satio. They are also rumoured to be getting the HTC leo/HD2. I also wouldn't be surprised to see the nokia n97 mini/n900 appear in their range.
The future's bright, the future's oran...oops...o2

Hi again,
I have now (somewhat sadly) left o2 to pastures new with t-mobile for
free HTC hero
200 mins
200 texts
unlimited internet (3gb allowance)
for £25 on 18m
In the end o2 could not give me a phone that I wanted. I found that the discounted tarrifs they offered were actually pretty good but I was not (personally) willing to shell out the cash to buy a galaxy (£165 on the discounted tarriff).
Please don't misunderstand this post. I'm not complaining about o2 not offering a good enough deal to stay they just could not offer me a handset that I wanted at a price I was happy to pay. My choice to leave for something else rather than being pee'd off with the service.
I would be happy to return to o2 as a provider in the future...
Wish me luck with t-mobile - can't wait to get my hands on my hero when I get home tonight!

I think i may be joining you on O2 for the same reasons. I cant get the handset i want from O2. That was the N97, but i did without and stuck with O2. But now i really want the N900 so i think within the next month or 2 i will also be jumping to TMobile as i dont think O2 are going to have it. Pity as apart from their lack of handsets, their service is excellent.
Hi there, you left to go to another network? I did think about leaving but have since found some pretty good deals on the sim only tarrif.
I wish you all the best and think you could be right you may return at some later date. I must admit I left orange in 1998 and didn't ever feel tempted to go back it seems vodafone and o2 offer some of the best deals at the moment.
Unless as you say you have to shell out for the handset of your choice.
Get it insured though at least for the first six months to be safe as dont forget you pay for your phone in the deal.
Happy phoning and texting and roaming.

well the satio , n86 , palm pre , sony aino , htc hd2 , blackberry bold2 , omnia hd are all top class smartphones
the satio is the the 1st 12mp smartphone with symbian 5th edition with sony os on top , it doesnt have a 3.5mm socket but you should see the pictures this thing takes , the gfx chip is among the most advanced ever seen ona mobile and can render gfx on par with a psp seriously google sony satio 3d gfx its amazing
the n86 is the 1st smartphone to have a wide angle lens and variable arpeteture it really has got a good lens for a camera phone and takes amazing pictures , its fast stable and v20 will add face recognition and red eye reduction plus other fixes and improovements , its packed with features and the buttons are superb to use , i really rate this phone
the omnia hd beats the n97 and iphone into the ground with its massive 3.7" screen , 1500mah battery , 3d gfx chip , 600mhz processor , brilliant gps reciever , hacking support from samsung internet communitys , good audio from the onboard dsp chip , hd vid recording which is great quality , 8mp cam , if o2 get this iam taking out another contract to get it with them, orange have had an exclusive on it but that must end soon so i hope o2 do have sense and stock it that would be great , it has amazing spec and great build quality easily one of the most powerfull smartphones of 2009
the palm pre is being touted highly allthough not my cup of tea iam sure many will like its features and from what ive seen pretty cool os its running
the iphone is going x network so expect things to get alot better --- that list of phones is an impressive range they just need to bring back 12 month contracts now like voda and orange do and id be extremley happy
the insurance service is one of the best out there in my eyes and customer services are allways top notch with me , they also seem to have a very good signal in my area
i bought the n86 from an o2 store the other day for 340 pounds , great phone , recomend it for anyone , built well , loads of features , up to 24gb memory with a 16gb card , camera is brilliant even in low light conditions , sound quality good
i sold my n97 to get it , o2 have done well not to stock the n97 , its a flop the returns rate is beyond a joke , ive had two now
the 1st was a lemon out of the box bad gps bad build quality you name it the n97 had it , so i sent it back and got myself a second new one
the second seemed all good for the 1st few months now the gps has stopped working , the battery cover squeaks , the slide has become loose , people complain they cant here me
now ive got to send my second n97 back and get a new one then iam selling it on ebay to pay for this n86 which in my eyes beats the n97 on evrything apart from screen size and memory , its much more stable , built alot better and has a better camera then the n97 , it has all the other features of the n97 and more for some reason the n97 doesnt support dnla sharing it wont connect to my ps3 but the n86 seems to have it
o2 certainly choose the right nokia to stock out of the n86 and the n97 if they had done the n97 it would have had a high returns rate and alot of angry customers , just check out the voda forums or google n97 camera scratch or n97 gps problems i tryed to like it for around 5 months and all it did was lead me to the shop to buy another phone
i think now the iphone is xnetwork o2 will get back to how it was
