UK iPhone

The Palm Pre has just been launched in the UK. From US reports it’s a lovely phone (with admittedly poor battery life) and I would certainly consider trying it for awhile, to replace my ageing iPhone 1st gen, except for one thing:

It’s only available on O2.

The sheer hell of being an iPhone owner, tied to the crippling O2 network, has completely put me off O2. Even if the Pre is better than the iPhone, you will still be saddled with a network which actively works agains the phone experience. Dropped calls, poor reception, glacial data speeds… all this will be yours.

No thanks.

I’m waiting for Orange to tell me I can get an iPhone 3G through them.
