Re: Why I despise the iPhone.

Probably not Dave - but then I probably would not have purchased 10 or more WM devices I have had over the years!

Re: Why I despise the iPhone.

Fair point. I think the old 12 month contracts were just right though. Have your device for a year and then get a new one. 18 and especially 24 month contracts are rubbish.

Just applied for the PAC codes to move the company back to O2, excellent timing methinks

Re: Why I despise the iPhone.

@Tony, we are getting a VERY good deal

@Daron, the contract is up and they hadn't done enough over the last two years or during the RFx process to compel us to renew. The big differentiator last time was the data tariff and whilst O2 still haven't matched them they are very close and additionally have bent over backwards to win the contract.

Re: Why I despise the iPhone.

Yep O2 came up with a good deal to stop us going with T-Mobile. Mind you the big lack with TM was no iPhones and a very poor WM device range selection.

Re: Why I despise the iPhone.

The biggest issues we had with TM were coverage and online billing. The customer service wasn't great but that seems to be a constant across all the operators in my experience.

The fact that the directors will get their hands on iPhones made the change an easy sell internally but wasn't really a driver and O2's WM range is no better for us than TM. In any case we can always convert hardware fund to airtime and then go elsewhere to get the handsets we want.

If the URL was not already taken I'd have bought it!
