    If your the kind of person that likes punching yourself in the face to demonstrate your stupidity then it's a great deal go with it.

    @your other point, if you try a 3 store and go on an 18mt contract you probably won't have to pay a deposit. Your best off going to a 3 store rather than carphone. Look at the HTC one X;)

    haha

    was in the cpw today asking why i got declined by 3 and accepted by cpw, its because cpw accepted me

    just need to wait for my bank statement to come in the post and then its new phone time :)

    can the 4s tether?
    if soi can get rid of my o2 dongle with there crappy 5gb for €20 a month :rolleyes:

    no you cant tether on three's plans I'm afraid.But you can with Meteor's 5GB plan. Have to say 5GB's is quite an amount of data. Ok not unlimited but still very decent with the ability to tether too when needed.

    Get and android and you can tether on 3, you'll be braking the t's & c's of your contract but they won't have a clue. Or get an Atrix and really confuse them.

    Fine with old contracts. Not allowed with new contracts. But as monkey says they can't stop you with android.

    Yeah you can jailbreak iphone and mess with carrier files I think. Much easier to just get android phone.

    Well they did, and people actually used it. Result is that 3s network is now overloaded and brutally slow for many people. This is why they had to stop it.

    No idea. Depends if 3 provides the phone, or if you bring one over from another network. I don't use apple, you might try asking on the apple or 3 forum.

    Nope. Their carrier file forces all data through the specific tethering APN - which Three block on new accounts. Doesn't matter if you bought the phone via Three or not.

    Not even Droidheads are safe anymore - few reports recently reporting tethering being disabled on Three supplied handsets via their custom firmware.

    Just get an android. Works well with everything including mac. iPhone is only a middling phone, software is very locked down. Android is the way forward, sold every iphone ive ever got and always ended back on android.
    Galaxy S2 was phone of the last year not iphone. Back on my xperia play after 24hrs using a 4s. Theres no app for real playstation buttons. Like wise theres an app to turn android into iphone but not visa versa.

    Get the iphone app its cheaper. The iPhone5 will struggle to beat the HTC One X and who.knows what Samsung have up their sleve on the 2nd of May. Couldn't be a worse timet to buy an iphone. ICS has IOS nailed.

    Depends where you live.

    I find the 3 iPhone 4s is brilliant but some areas apparently have bad coverage.

    Best phone ever though (and I had the first iPhone too ;))
