Maybe O2 are listening which is great to see and now the 16gig option has reopened for me again. Now just to work on the data cap!

All well and good when you are lookin to see if that old secondary school chick you have the number of is floating about and you want to catch up, it sounds very little house on the prarie but i think it opens the door to a lot of privacy issues. I know when o2 launched their Locator service, people we're adding their other partners with out their consent and it basically put a tracker device on them. You could triangulate where they were within a few feet. Not to suggest people would be lying about their location, why would i, but i feel it is an intrusion on people's rights and privacy. If i saw a service like this social media based on gps location i would like to see a and opt in and out and clear guidelines on how it could be used. o2 know all about it, i think they cancelled their locator service as people were using it for the wrong reasons altogether! Also cross platform (iPhone / n95) would also have to be a runner if it did come in. Wubud anyone?

As for the 16 gig version they are fuckers. Matt got it in one and we even tweeted about it yesterday once again the only tarriffs keeping in line with what steve said are the 100/65 euro ones they have a fucking nerve going for 299 euro if you sign into the 45 euro tarriff. I am absolutley disgusted at this and I do believe that action should be taken, I am planning on writing to the consumer authority, O2 and Apple about this.

They'd literally have to give them away. @Matt: I can’t see anyone springing for one now, when the pricing is out in the open. They’d literally have to give them away.

I would be even more surprised again if the prices weren't €199 and €299, even though SJ said the prices would be $199 (€127) and $299 (€192), maximum. Also, no surprises here either: 18 or 24 month contracts, 1GB data limit, and craptacular voice and text allowances, just like last time. O2 Ireland are pretty good, compared to other Irish SP's. Compared to O2 UK though, they suck ass.
