    I MUST HAVE IT.
    I'm procrastinating here trying to avoid study. So here, I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday. Being shipped from America for him. Thoughts on it?

    Because she'd rather a free one than to pay 500 euro like an idiot for one? :eek::rolleyes:

    Possibly because I don't have €500 to spend on one, and don't particularly want to sign up to a 2 year contract. I'm not someone who is overly bothered by buying the latest thing as soon as it comes out. This was offered to me for free and the phone I have at the moment is pretty crap.

    Except that it isn't expected until September this year. :rolleyes:

    And if you are going to get 64gb, you are probably going to pay €300 more than for a 16gb.

    And contracts aren't for everyone.

    Damn Celtic Tiger cubs....

    Working 40 hour weak for very summer for the last 4 years also i am working a full time job for the last year 1/2 which I am my own Boss with 4 people working for me (My Boss is my dad) and i get paid very well i can buy a iphone out right with a weaks wage

    So how i am a Celtic Tiger cub when i have been working every summer for the last 5 summers and every Saturday and every weak i had of from school and some weaks i work 60 hours

    Theres a reason why a buy a **** load of stuff is because i work a full time job and save 70 % of my wage

    Also i will add i got my iphone 4 for free on the day it came out because i sold my old 32GB 3GS for 400 euros also i have a bill phone which a pay 60 euros for every 4 weaks

    That's all well and good for, I'd love to be in that situation, but implying I'm an idiot for accepting a free iphone isn't very fair tbh. I've been working since I was 16 and I'm currently saving up everything I have to afford college next year, so things like buying new iphones aren't my top priority at the moment.

    I've been working since I was 13, I'm now 19.
    I currently have 3 jobs, as well as having to juggle teaching practice which is UNPAID.
    I work in sales which is a thankless job.
    I work behind a bar when I can get the hours which is a thankless job.
    I give second and third level grinds.
    You're clearly not your own boss if your Dad is your boss. If your Dad was your boss would you still have 4 people under you?
    Working for the summer is completely different to working the full year. Things like iPhones scream Celtic Tiger when people are losing ther homes all over the country. Right now our wants have had to be put aside for our needs.

    Three are doing an offer where if you sign up for a 2 year contract you can get it for free. My brother and his girlfriend did that and his girlfriend had an iphone already, the back is a bit smashed from being dropped but it works fine so she gave it to me. :)

    I pay 40 plus a extra about 10 euro for my student bband witch is in work

    But i have free calls and txts to any network and landlines 3GB Internet with o2 which is a lot better

    kateos2 just to let you now if you dont have a Internet pack with you network do not go near the web because it can cost about 0.20c a mb so look into getting a internet add on for your phone

    Also i just picked up this
