    Does anyone know if 02 plan on dropping the price on the Iphone 4S once the new Iphone is released? O2 are giving a 20% discount on all phones at the weekend for the next month but am i better off holding off til the new phone is released for a bigger saving? And as someone who has never had an Iphone whats its like for texting? A qwerty style of texting doesn't appeal

    Textings easy, way quicker than a numerical keypad
    Id image apple will do the same they usually do and drop the 4s 16gb and release an 8gb at a lower price, why don't you just buy the new one next month if your gonna wait anyway?

    it should. it really really should. after all, you have all the letters there... no need to abbreviate anymore!

    but if you really hv 2 txt lyk dis, then set up some custom abbreviations so even if you're writing a text like a cat walked on a keyboard, then at least the person getting it wont know!


    try it, you probably wont go back....

    iphone is fine for texting. I've also used speech-to-text apps like Vlingo or Siri with good result.

    I dont want to text like hv 2 txt lyk dis but its just i'm used to using the on screen numbers on my phone for typing predictive text. Qwerty seems slower and more awkward for someone with large fingers.
