Getting it through the special upgrade offer which o2 claim on their website, in red, you can’t do over the phone. After reading a few stories on the o2 forum it seems quite a few did it in just that way. Friday I thought I’d try my luck. I got lucky and within half an hour my present contract was paid off and the new iPhone was on it’s way on a new contract!

When I first heard about it I was amazed as it sounds such an improvement on my present 3GS. Can’t wait to see the retina display as it sounds so clear from everything I’ve heard. Then there’s the new operating system, ios4, which I have on my present 3GS, but can’t use to it’s full potential on it. One of the main new features of this new os is multi- tasking, which will be a nice feature as it let’s you swap between apps and they stay in the same state. This could not be done on the previous os. The other big big “new” feature is FaceTime, basically video calls, which can be done presently on some phones using the network, but this is only via wifi so apple are claiming it’s new.

There’s a little about my excitement for the new iPhone. Hope you’ve enjoyed me babbling on about it. Roll on Monday!
