It is sad thing, but I have a geek need – I am an early adopter and I
want my iPhone now. I wanted it on Friday, when they shipped in the UK.
But Orange have me locked into a contract – an 18month contract – that
does not expire until February. Therefore they will not release my
number – which i have had since 1999 – until then. Without an new
18month contract I cannot get an iPhone from 02. So I have to wait.
When I really don’t want to. And resigned though i may be, it makes me
hate Orange, who I have been with since 1999.
