Dude this is boards.ie not .co.uk this is a thing for ireland!! I asked it here cause i wanted the price in EURO not POUNDS like!

WayneEnterprise

Well it's not out here on Thursday! Get your facts right.

Kimono-Girl

ireland won't see the iphone until the end of july start of august, and then it will be bill phone only for awhile id imagine, so you are looking at roughly the same prices the 3gs was last year,

about €299 with an 18 month contract @ €40 a month,

or in august/september around €519/€619 pay as you go!

Don't be so rude. The phone has not been officially announced for Ireland yet. There is no official price. There is only the US contract prices, the UK contract prices and the UK sim free prices.

haha, how do these ppl get jobs? surely they would have been given an information session to combat the million iPhone4 questions they will be getting when everyone sees happy UK customers with their shiny ne gadgets and wonders why we can't get them here.

we haven't even gotten the iPad yet... and thats old news at this stage...

You can buy the 3GS 8Gb from Thursday from the Irish Apple Store for €499 sim free.

That's the only iPhone being released in Ireland on Thursday.

Whilst in an application, if you double press the home button you can then switch to a different app without closing the current one and reopening a new one from your home screen.

seamus

The expected prices are €629 and €739

Bear in mind that not all apps support multitasking yet.

That lists the 3GS at 519 compared to 499 on the Irish store so maybe 609 and 619

PumpkinPR

Hi my friend works in o2
she said when the phone is here more than likely the last week of july it will be more expensive than when tthe 3gs was realeased for exapmlt

at the moment 16gb on 3gs is 519 euros
so the smallest iphone 4 is obviously 32gb.. its rumoured to be roughly 730 euro

on billpay @ 60 euro per month
id reckon the handset will cost about 280

APPERANTLY the prices of the 3gs WONT be reduced when iphone 4 arrives

guil

ur friend in 02 doesnt know alot, the iphone 4 only comes in 16gb and 32gb
the same as the 3gs

was talking to a nice lady yesterday on 1909 - I played dumb acting as if I wanted a upgrade to new 3GS now, as in today.

Silver upgrade - same as "walk in prices" 199euro for 16gb, 299 for 32gb.

I dropped down from Gold upgrade because i've reduced my bill from 120euro to 40euro a month by swtiching my friends/family to O2 (nice to know that working as a vigilante salesperson isn't paying off!)

iPhone4 - she said they have received no information whatsoever "on the ground" about the new iPhone, but that they expect SOME stock end of July, she said probably only the half of the pre-orders will be fulfilled, with priority given to current O2 billpay customers.

She also hinted that they expect the new iPhone4 to be "nearly" the same price, but could be upto 50euro more expensive per model. ie. 16gb - 249euro, 32gb - 349euro. She expects the 3GS 8gb to be 149euro.

All the way through the conversation she absolutely advised me to wait for the new iPhone 4, she would barely talk to me at all about giving me a 3GS.

Given the new competition in the market I doubt they'll be upping their minimum tariff by €15-€20.

What pre-orders are these?

Actually - never mind. O2 staff members are the most unreliable source of information around.

My best mate is the manager in CPW..............i'm getting the 1st one in the store or he dies:D

Not so much of a pre-order, but more of a threat on his life !

Preorders, as in, when the iPhone4 is announced on O2, they'll begin pre-orders a week before the thing hits the shops, they expect (hypothetically) to be able to fulfil only 1,000 phones if they get 2,000 preorders - I dont know the actual estimates obviously! I was just shocked that under no circumstance was she gunna advise me to get the 3GS, you'd think they would be selling off stock!

I know tomorrow i'll be sick that some people have them.... :mad:

Hi,

Don't know if this is a trustworthy site or not, but the prices seem too good to be true.

ezonebest.com

Appears that the iPhone 4 is already available.

hshortt

why did you post that reference twice? Do you work for them? Sounds very dodgy to me.

What I'm asking is - where did you get the impression O2 were going to do pre-orders?
We all remember the "pre-order" disaster last year.

You can't upgrade online and supposedly upgrade customers are going to be looked after.

Might as well flush your cash down the drain.

I note a Western Union logo on the front page. Avoid at all costs.

Tesco mobile just released an excellent iPhone tariff in the UK.

If only Ireland had similar!

You never know. I spotted that yesterday - 12 month contract on the iPhone in the UK. Tesco do mobile services here, so you may see them swoop in here, but I doubt they'll undercut O2 by any significant amount.

Imagine got in trouble years ago when Eircell discovered that they were being undercut on their own network.

Has anybody bought anything from www.ezonebest.com ?

I checked it out and on this website http://electronicsscams.co.cc/2010/06/page/3/ they claim that ezonebest is a scam....

Here is what they have to say about them

"This is in my opinion an example of a common Chinese scam selling all kinds of brand items at unrealistic prices. There are thousands of such websites out there with no other purpose than fraud. Please be careful and remember: if something looks too good to be true it’s usually just another scam"

3GS was only an incremental evolution. You could pre-order for 1st Gen and 3G phones. I walked in and got my 3G from O2 Dundrum on Launch. Literally had my name on it.

They didn't do pre-orders for 3GS wilth full gusto because they knew 3G customers wouldn't upgrade with 6 months left on their contract.

Going by the O2 UK price plans (Engadget do a lovely comparison blog post) educated guess would be 249euro and 349euro handset price on 40euro plan.

Definitely fake look at all the mcAfee images they have nicked from other websites, one of them even says verified on the 23 august. The whole thing looks dodgy. I would avoid this website like the plague

I have a life rule for myself that I never eat in restaurants that have pictures of their food on the menus, likewise when it comes to web shopping when I see the word 'China' anywhere on the page I immediately avoid unless I'm looking for some bowls and plates.

They've done a good job on the website, it looks the part but the prices are just ridiculous....e.g Canon 5d Mark II Camera, sells for over €2k and they're selling it for US$1100!

Jaysus, you must lose a fortune of weight when you go away on holidays!

Rylan

Yeah. At least 7 fortunes of weight i'd estimate.

I don't think any of that means anything. There was a huge shortage of 3GS's so there was no shortage of demand.

Don't get me wrong, I hope there is pre-ordering, I just wanted to know if you were just speculating or actually knew something. (The former, it seems ).

Sure everything is speculation, even from the sales people themselves. *Cue german accent" VEE KNOWING NOTHING!!!

It just goes to show that a fool and his money are soon parted. It also shows that the global recession hasn't been nearly as devastating as the media like to pretend.

Should have thought of that though, you're effectively investing €700 in a phone and getting a 100% return within 24 hours. That's worth a trip to Belfast I think.

He's talking about the difference between contract and simfree - i.e. he could buy simfree now or wait until it's released here and get it £200 cheaper on contract.

my earlier post explained the fact that in my current situation on a 40euro bill the total cost of the phone would work out 200euro more expensive if I went up north to buy one sim free: plus train/petrol cost!

It's true dude. 90% OF 16GB ones on eBay are going for €900 and up. Would have been a super little earner! Once the craze is over they'll drop. For pig-iron is mailed one guy about a White one (as Apple don't even have them) and he said he doesn't have them yet and that he'd mail when they arrive. Also said they'd be cheaper.
