Link: UK iPhone set for launch on Tuesday? | Technology | Guardian Unlimited
The iPhone rumour mill is speeding up again – this time about the date of the UK launch.
Apparently Apple are going to announce the details next week – but they won’t be confirming O2 have the UK gig until later.
Meanwhile, in other news, the iPhone unlocking steamroller is at full speed. Quite a few SMS Text News readers have mailed in confirming they’ve unlocked their handset. Personally I unlocked three yesterday – took about 30 minutes each including waiting around for the firmware reflashing.
The only downside so far I’ve had is not being able to use data services – which insist on EDGE. Wifi works fine, but proper mobile data would be good 🙂
Alex: Settings -> General -> Network -> EDGE
it works fine with T-Mobile GPRS settings (user:pass@general.t-mobile.uk)
[…] Of course if a UK iPhone is in the works, I’d love nothing more than to throw my Three SIM in it and use their data service I know and love, but I won’t be able to do this unless they’re announcing a 3G model – Three get upset if you use your SIM in a 2G handset and it seems that even unlocked iPhones here in the UK will only use EDGE.

Cheers Dan, that works a treat 🙂
