I want to know is there a Apple convention in the Uk?

I want to attend the next one.

So is the iPhone released in new Zealand yet?

Hmm, depends what price you can get it at. I believe after the iPhone is released in the states, Apple will make a touchscreen iPod with all the features the iPod is going to have on the iPhone, except it wont have the phone capabilities and it will have large HDD.

Well do you think it’s worth me getting a 5th generation iPod, then?

(It’s a hard life isn’t it Glenn? Lol.)

Rennervater, I’m a terrible news junkie and I noticed in on CBS, CNN, ABC, BBC, FOX, Sky UK, Sky Australia New Zealand as well as Prime, One and Three here. It also had a handy front page slot in a number of newspapers.

Jay, Rennervater and others with network questions. It was made clear in the keynote that many of the features required innovation not simply on behalf of Apple but also from Cingular. While I’ve used foreign phones by simply chucking in a SIM card, I doubt this will be possible with the iPhone without significant loss of functionality. You also have to remember that the Apple refuse to ship between countries so any possible pre-European release phones would probably have to be shipped through a third party. The best thing to do would be to ring up your phone company and ask them.

I’d certainly like to buy an iPhone when they are released in 08 and I would probably go for the 4GB model.

Urgh! I hate the way everything is US exclusive. I mean, I feel sorry for Glenn because he’s only just got the iTunes store, but still…

So, do you think I could import an iPhone in June and put in an Orange Pay As You Go SIM in and have it work?

4gb for me. I’ll probably still carry my nano round with me, I know for sure I won’t sell it due to the Nike+iPod Sports Kit.

For those who are going to buy the iPhone, which model? 4 or 8GB?

Ok, great! :D
Thanks for your help.

@Dway

Let me put it this way : Apple would be crazy not to let the Iphone access other EDGE networks.
In Short: Yes it will probably be able to access networks other than Cingulars.

@Rennevater

Thanks,
but if the Operators(/whatever are they) here can provide EDGE, will it work with iPhone, or is it somekind of a Cingular only thing?

@Dway

The IPhone works on all GSM Networks. I don’t know what Finland has in the way of Telecoms but I think all you will be losing is the EDGE capability. (EDGE is like 3G)

I will definately buy an iPhone in July.

Strange, iPhone was in the headlines on the news here in Finland. Usually we dont get much Apple stuff.

Anyway, I live in Finland, and we don’t have Cingular of course.

Can someone explain, what do I lose, if I get an iPhone, without having Cingular?

Oh yeah, and don’t need an iPhone. I have a 5G iPod with 30GB of storage and I have a cell phone. There should be a barebones cellphone model, as I’m happy with my iPod (in fact I just resynched it last night)

You have a 100″ TV? We have a standard def 34″ Sony Trinitron. Thank god there were no updates to the MacBook, I’ll buy one in the coming months.
