Should you not be using one of those phones with the giant buttons at your age?

Headphone socket at the bottom WWWWowww

Headphone socket on the bottom makes more sense than a screen so large you need thumbs of an orang utang to even use it with two hands let alone one handed.

There two completely different things. Your argument makes no sense at all.

I would be seriously worried if I was on a plane and the pilot was using maps on his iphone to find an airfield for landing. What kind of a clown is Alan Shatter. Is there not bigger things to be worrying about.

What an embarrassment the man is.

500 plus for the phone and greedy Apple pre sell 2 million so they change the free adaptor to a cost of 35 euro.
I have been with Apple dunce the first IPhone,iPods previously to that and nothing with the 5 makes me want to buy it.
I have used the SG3 and I really don't care about apps,half are a time waste the other half crap but the SG3 is s cool phone,great screen resolution,speed and I like the size as I have man hands.

I think the point is its not much of an upgrade for 500 quid. Your basically buying a bigger 4S. OK if you dont have a 4S id say.

yeah possibly, if i had a 4S i wouldnt upgrade, but for anybody with a 4 or older, its a very nice upgrade.

In regards to price, sure dont ya sell your old one first?
My IP5 is costing me €50 (Coming from a 4)

Your paying for a bigger screen coming from a current iPhone user I expected a lot more in design and features.
The SG3 can be had on cheaper plans and a subsidised price,20 quid a mth and you will not find the iPhone for cheaper than a 40 euro on any plan.
They are riding on a past loyalty andcthe sheep will follow.

Thats a complete contradiction. Your selling your old phone. What are you selling it for? Magic beans?:D Your getting Cash for it no?

Your paying a few hundred like everyone else.

people moaning about apples pricing and then defending samsungs pricing, which are identical might i add.

Contradiction is your saying your only paying 50 for it but a sentence before that your saying your selling an iPhone 4 to fund it.

Think the point he is making is you are not paying just €50. You are paying €50 + the balance you got from sale of other phones.

But if you got them free on upgrade then you are paying just €50.

BUT not really if you factor in the cost over the life of your contract.

Ah who cares. Just get it :-)

Would I be faster buying it on the UK store and getting it shipped over?

Will they ship to Ireland? Suppose you could use Parcel Motel. Would you trust it for such an expensive item though?

KingJamsie

I could ship it to family near London and UPS over? Good Plan?

Apple UK will not ship to Ireland.
You could order it to the London address then UPS it here, when would you have it realistically.....3-4 weeks according to apple uk site.

Better off buying on th Apple IRL site at 8am next Friday.

Conor Pope of the Irish Times has just tweeted "@conor_pope: 3 Mobile to start selling iPhone on Sept 28. Prices start at €149."

Ignore the banner ad on the website, go into Shop > Billpay and you can see the various prices of the phones and plans there.

32GB is €240 on the €40.66 plan for 24 months. Which isn't too bad considering it's a brand new release.

If you hold off till the new year, you'll probably get it for €150 on an 18 month contract.
