So it is - the Register were originally reporting (earlier today) that O2 weren't claiming exclusivity anymore. They've now backtracked on that, but note that O2 aren't saying (yet) how long that exclusivity lasts - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/10/o2_3g_iphone/

£99 on a £30pm contract is still a LOT more attractive than last year's deal, whoever's doing it.

Dogmman, do you really think email will replace mms? The only thing not letting mms to be a success is its cost, but at the same time right now most phones have it, and have it ready to work. As for email...how many phones have it? How many people actually know how to set it up? Just because Jobs decided mms is dead, that does not make it a fact.

Regarding a2dp, well, for me its just unbearable such an advanced phone not having it...i do value it alot

Wow thats bloody good!
Just a shame its tied to iphone/ipod touch as id buy it in a heartbeat if i could get it on a windows mobile phone!
Just like itunes is tied to the ipod series/iphone.

i don't think mms is that popular to begin with.. i fire off about 2000 sms a month and maybe get 2 of 3 mms's a month from 1 person lol..

i do get tons of email on my computer though... that i was checking from my iphone...

email might not replace mms.. but mms just doesn't seem that important imo.

i use to love a2dp but it ended up being a hassle..(SE is the king of a2dp imo.. but even then i've had forgot to charge my battery or sometimes get horrible breakups etc..etc..) just doesn't seem as practical as a simple 3.5 jack.

i wanted to see video calling though.. i think iphone is the only product that can truly make it take off...

I agree with others here about picture messaging by the way, it's useful as an instant, phone-to-phone method of communicating, and email is not a realistic replacement. Picture messaging has the smell of failure about it because it never did what the networks wanted and become as ubiquitious as SMS, but that doesn't mean it's not a useful, fun feature that many would miss.

My Tytn II is an email powerhouse and pushes email to me constantly, but if any of my friends or family want to send me a picture quickly (usually from the phone they've just taken it with) they'll use MMS. Likewise, if I want to do the same, I'd never fire up an email to send a pic to my wife's W910, or my friends Nokia. Even my brother-in-law's Blackberry is more likely to get an MMS, since email = business and any picture I'm sending is unlikely to be that. More to the point, I know that MMS is instant, I know I'm going to get a delivery receipt for it, and I know it's going to get a response (or at least a smile) there an then, not five hours later when they check their email.

All of that said, there are already MMS apps available for the Iphone, and with the SDK released they're bound to get better. The demand for it will only go up as the initial fanboy-factor dies down and more people get hold of these more affordable, everyday iphones.

Doesnt MMS have a function that if the phone that the MMS is being sent to does not support MMS it then sends it to a website and a link is sent to the phone. That feature was there when MMS first statred but not heard of it ever since.

The other is email (from iphone) to the phone number @ network (you need the correct address) to send a message to the mobile intended. Sure ive seen that too.

Not the same ease but where theres a will theres a way.

Edit

I think the P series or UIQ is too far behind to catch without a completely new attempt, but X will do well for SE imo. Iphone shouldnt affect SE much since SE dont really have a big market anyway.

If these come out at £100 non-contract they will clean up

They look fantastic
