O2 iPhone announcement tomorrow.

eamon234

According to the O2 iPhone forum there will be some changes announced tomorrow for iPhone customers - no details as yet but better value price plans would be at the top of the wishlist - also rumours of Visual Voicemail cropping up. Personally I hope it's got something to do with the crazy data roaming charges.

Sully

Been on the cards for a while, wasn't aware a date had been set for announcement!

Tom Dunne

I wonder if the tariffs are coming down in advance of the new model rumoured to be coming out around June/July?

Random

Please let it be data roaming .. but I fear that's not iPhone specific enough an issue.

Official word on the forum is that VV has been "shelved" for this year, so I doubt it will be announced tomorrow.

It will be a drop in price. They have a ton of these phones left, in the UK at least and need to shift them before june/july and the new iphone.

What do we think will be on the new iphone?

I don't have much faith in O2 suddenly giving better value for money, or Apple adding all the feature it should have had in the first place.

I would imagine COPY/PASTE and PUSH email will be on it, a better camera, bigger/faster processor, maybe the same one that is in the ipod touch.

I really hope by the time Apple tell the world of this phone, with the audience clapping like crazy when they talk about copy/paste and how its a massive break through, I really hope I can look on, with a Palm Pre in my hand.

I hate Apple and everything they stand for, I hate the users of apple even more, and each passing day I keep the iphone a little bit more of me dies!

Just a tad over dramatic.

Gob$hite! Just don't buy their products FFS.

You'd swear they were poisoning children or something.

Not seeing much info on the new iphone on the interweb, only romours of a cheaper version.....can't see how they could go backwards with specifications.....

10mp camera would be nice.....:rolleyes:

Hope 02 drop the tarrifs down to 12mts and increace the any network minutes...if they do they might even bring me back:)

You won't find anything other than rumours up until it's released as with all Apple products they launch them when they release them so anything you read up until then is pure rumour, but i'd say it's 90% positive there'll be a new (higher spec) iPhone in June.

My point about a lot of apple users summed up in one post there.

Its funny how people feel the need to call others a "Gob$hite!" because they insult a product, an inanimate object, a toy if it really comes down to it.

Please direct your anger towards the people who are robbing you blind, your government and banks, even your local supermarket, assuming you live in Ireland. I have offered a point of view, nothing else and you get this angry.....wake up and defend something worth defending. Your iphone will not keep you warm at night or put food on your table.

Dont go around defending a corporation who could not care less if you live or die.

Ah fanboys........the internet would be a dull old place without them.

This actually has nothing to do with the brand apple or the product iPhone, more to do with the fact that you are clearly a goon,

to quote yourself "and each passing day I keep the iphone a little but more of me dies!"

Does all a favour and hang onto it a bit longer!

It will be an O2 announcement. If that helps the romourmill

o2 has already said that visual voicemail has been shelved for 2009. See http://forums.o2online.ie/forums/showpost.php?p=37646&postcount=29

Not quite. Its audio voicemail but it shows the messages in a list on the iphone so you don't have to listen to every message in sequence. You can listen to what voicemails you want.

This youtube video shows what it looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqnhm8yfTqM

This will be specifically for existing O2 iPhone users so I reckon it will be a tariff shuffle and hopefully decent data roaming charges. Possibly tethering maybe?

Yep, keep directing your anger at me while your government prepares to use your money to bail out banks, banks that will then lend it back to you at interest and charge you if you have the misfortune to go overdrawn.......most lightly the result of purchasing an over priced apple product.

Back in topic......

Lads, keep the personal abuse off the thread and away from the forum. Keep on topic.

Mods to be fair, that is a sweeping insult. What was his point? I'm not surprised it provoked a reaction.

then he goes wildly off topic

Yes it was - the info came from O2 Customer Care

Apple/AT&T launched some new technology (Microcell) in the latest operator patch in the US, maybe it has something to do with that?

all for €35 quid:eek:

If they do announce a new iphone tarrif, I hope it's got at least 1000 any network minutes, 1GB data and Free 02 to 02 calls all for €99 with a free iphone....

but i'm going to guess o2 to announce there building an Indoor beach in Limerick and o2 customer will be the only ones allowed to use the wave pool and water slides.....

O2_Daryll

I don't mind striking it until I am allowed say something.

godskitchen

Is this the way all announcements have gone now?

I really hope this is not O2 trying to build up some hype for something as silly as a new tariff.

Well, it's the forum watchers who probably built the hype out of a leak from an O2 rep. So we can only blame ourselves.

The only real possibility is that the announcement will have something to do with the price and their plans.

We all would have heard about hardware/software releases months ahead of time were it coming from Apple - just like the iPhone 2,1 news that's been around lately to do with the upcoming iPhone in June (big assumption of course).

The forums closed now.. says all questions will be answered when he gets back.

Maybe, just maybe, Daryll and co have said "Enough is enough" and are storming the iPhone Teams office to demand answers!

Rsaeire

Going on previous announcements, I'm not expecting much from Apple.

eamon234

Oooo.... O2 forum closed until 3pm hopefully some news - either that or Daryll's getting a boll1cking!

It's possible the poor guy has landed himself in it with their communications people if he leaked too much info!
