UK iPhone Launch

Well, I went and did it and bought a new UK iPhone along with an 18 month O2 contract!

I've never had a phone contract before prefering a PAYG as to be honest, I don't really use the phone that much.

But after trying the US iPhone with a PAYG SIM it rapidly becomes apparent that the unlimited data in the O2 contract (especially as it is now truly unlimited) is worth the money so I've bitten the bullet.

In addition, having a 1.0.2 iPhone meant I've been locked out of upgrading the phone and the new iPhone puts me back on the straight and narrow. I'll miss the third party apps but at least come February we'll see the official SDK for the iPhone and surely new apps won't be too far away.

No major differences between the UK and US versions other than the International aspects and I'm loving the double clicking on the home button. However, I did notice that the UK screen looks better, the colours appear richer and deeper. I'll be checking out any further differences over the next few days so if I find anything significant, I'll post them here.
