Oh great, O2. Is Jobs deliberately forming partnerships with shitty, overpriced networks?

@King of the Wild Frontier: ...but "Goodbye Chaps" would be greater.

"Hello Chaps" would be a great name for a leather bar.

@NZRUSS: It's not that they're not allowed to be locked to a carrier, it's that the carrier has to allow the phone to be unlocked and may charge a fee to do so. If the phone is sold with a contract, standard early termination charges are the remaining fixed monthly payments on the contract.
In short, you have the right to use an iPhone on any carrier that lets you, but you have to pay the purchase price, the full contract value and an unlocking fee to do so.

I've been having some trouble commenting here.... but I ask the question:

I thought phones in the UK were not allowed to be locked to a carrier? Does this mean an unlocked phone for UK customers?

Only if your comments are called iCrap.

See, you couldn't even get the small letter-big letter thing right. Very disappointing.

Damn it, don't tell me the other surprise is 16GB 3G iPhone. That would be a slap in the face of their US customers that have to suffer on the EDGE network.
