O2 has such a poor network across the UK ( from personal experience, having attempted to connect to it from nearly every county ) that the only use for the iPhone might be listening to music or playing a game while you wait to come back into reach of the network.

O2 is hoping to sell 200,000 iPhones before the end of 2007. I will be interested to see if that happens... it doesn't seem too much of a stretch-objective. One thing I will say, though, is that I don't think the general public is going to be as impressed with the iPhone as Apple fans; which may put a brake on sales. A friend of mine bought an unlocked iPhone in Boston a couple of weeks ago, and brought it back to the UK. His initial reaction? <i>"Wow - it's great! The YouTube application works great on my Wi-Fi network. I love the way photos rotate when you rotate the phone."</i> And then after a day or two... <i>"The keyboard is really annoying to type on."</i> And after another day, <i>"I don't know what the hype is all about, it's not <b>that</b> good. I think Blackberries are better if you want this kind of phone."</i> Cool. O2 is hoping to sell 200,000 iPhones before the end of 2007.
