Snap :D Rang Tmobile earlier to fine my contract is due for renewal now!!! Bonus.

Although will have to do it before I leave work as I have no internet still thanks to BT, who have just put of my install again!!!

Good choice chaps. I can highly recommend the silicone case things that Carphone Warehouse sell, you don't know they're on, they make the phone a little more manly - all black - give the phone a lot more grip and of course offer great protection. I paid less than a tenner for mine.

ZiPhone is great if you want to mess around with 3rd party apps or unlock to other networks, you have to really try to get into any real trouble, unlike a few months ago.

O2 gave me a opaque white silicon sleeve for my phone :D.

MSN would be cool on the iphone but I'm kinda stuffed on that at the mo. Once I can get it installed the need for having msn on my phone will not be there.

JackClark 07 March 2008 02:27 PM

I'm hoping Adium will be released on the iPhone. That and Skype of course.

SwissTony 07 March 2008 02:37 PM

all this talk of blooming iphones is making me upset :(
I will be strong though and hold out for the next version ...must be strong, must be strong :D

Adium would be cool, because in a single app, we get msn, aim, jabba and ichat all rolled into one :D
Skype may be a different matter altogether, because I dont see how it can function as a skype service when you have calling plans etc with your phone provider or am I missing something here :)

JackClark 07 March 2008 04:20 PM

I think we'll get Skype, it was said that there would be no restriction on VOIP via wireless, edge was a no, no.

JackClark 07 March 2008 04:21 PM

...and Adium does Google chat as well, that's been working really well for me.

Markus 07 March 2008 04:24 PM

I agree that Adium would be rather nice on the iPhone. As for Skype, for WiFi, I have no doubt that it'll appear, but using EDGE, forget it. Apple has explicitly stated that you're not allowed to create VOIP over EDGE apps, as that'd serious pish off AT&T as you'd not need any calling time as you'd just be using the data plan, same applies to any carrier really, though AT&T could have a legit reason to block VOIP over EDGE (one presumes they can detect the type of data being sent/received on EDGE)

JackClark 07 March 2008 04:39 PM

Retro does have a certain appeal.

JackClark 08 March 2008 09:34 PM

Adium have just announced that it's going to take them a long time to port to the iPhone. Bummer.

Simon C 08 March 2008 10:08 PM

We do need a chat agent for the phone. Multi agent would just be the icing on the cake!
