Guys, can I chuck in another possiblity into this interesting thread please...
Will Apple sell the iPhone to Education workers at a discount as they do with all their other Apple products?
If so, will they also have some kinda agreement with O2 to give a discount on the contract also?

I have read over at Howard Forums exactly the same question and apparently student discounts only apply to Mac books and iMacs only so it's just their computers that are eligible for discount I'm sorry to say.

As an Orange employee Doggmann you get 10% off Apple goods....
how's that going to work??
Can't see Orange employees being too happy at the prospect of being forced to use O2!!!

Ah FATREG,
But as you know i am still of the opinion Apple or 02 are going to have to unlock them, but to be honest a £26 discount isn't exactly earth shattering but at least Orange has EDGE if you do get one.

Hi all,
Well according to an article i have just read it actually appears it is Apple that locks and keeps the iPhones locked not the Networks. So come the 9th November it looks like i am going to have go to an Apple store and read their T&C's very carefully before contacting OFCOM again. But at least if it is just Apple that are dong it that makes the situation easier to deal with IMO.

At this point the best answer is nobody really knows, as you can see some have been told their will be special PAYG iPhone Sims others have been told you can't fail a credit check. The only thing that is sure is that until the 9th November no one really knows anything for sure.

If you cant fail the credit check then what is the point of doing one. I seriously doubt that they would accept someone for a credit account if they had just been declared bankrupt or had loads of CCJ's.

"unlocked iphones will be locked up and bricked in an "optional update" " how is that far onpeople who took out a lengthly contract and dont want to use a poor network (like O2 or AT&T) yes ok the way people went around the unlocking system was a bit naughty but i think we all have the right of choice on networks surly
stupid greedy arse holes the contracts are rip offs also.
for £35 u get 200 min and 200 texts on 18 months yeah free wifi and data. if u have a wifi network how can they charge u 2 use it? This industry is going backwards we worked so hard to get ISP's to provide PINS in 7 days but apple will only have O2 use there iphones thats like saying all windows users have to use MSN ISP or all apple users have to use AT&T/BT broadband.... yeah awsem....
also if they say this update is optional what about the next one or the next one they will make em mandatory sooner or later and then bang ur iphone dies...
although the software unlock is reversable (1.0.2v) what if you dont want to use that network?
if im wrong please shut me up lol
