Perhaps the most interesting fact from this announcement is for existing O2 customers:

O2 will be rolling out unlimited-data contracts to existing customers starting 1st October.

Is this for when people upgrade to the iPhone or is it for EVERYONE?

Well, with Vodafone announcing the Nokia N95 8GB due out Dec 07, we'll soon see how the 8-Gig-phone-market pans out....

Hi all,

OK i have an interesting question that i am interested if some one could answer, is it not true that under EU law the Networks have to sell you an unlock code? So doesn't that insure you will be able to unlock your iPhone once bought? or if there is no such thing as an unlock code selling it locked is illegal?

There is another question i have which is i have always been led to believe OSX has much better security and is one of the reasons that there are no virus outbreaks on Mac's. If this is true how come so many have been able to break and crack all the iPhone locks and add functionality if as they claim it runs OSX?

Hi guys,
O2 said they would roll out their 'unlimited' data plan to existing customers. Is that on Edge only or will it apply to 3G as well?

There is no distinction. Whether the data is used via EDGE or 3G its the same. 3G customers pay no more than anyone else so it applies to both.

There's no security features in Mac OS X to stop anyone installing legitimate native applications. Those 'features' are new to the iPhone.

All the hackers have done is remove Apple's 'artificial' locks on installing native applications on the iPhone, and SIM unlocked the phone for use on other networks. No security features have been broken.

The OS X security would setp in and prevent malicious programs from being installed or spreading virus-like without the users permission.

Hi JoolsG4

Thanks for the quick response as was wondering what was going on, no one have any opinions about the fact 02 may be forced to Sim unlock the device if requested by the customer?

Also how would this be done as i can't see 02 advising people to use the various solutions available on the Web. Can Apple just supply a code the same as we unlock most devices now or how would this be achieved?
