iPhone 4: And now we are 3 (Mobile)

3 Mobile is shipping iPhone 4 today - along with T-Mobile UK, it was the last UK network to announce availability.

How Long?

The reason I went for their (micro)SIM-only deal for the iPhoney 4 was that it's a 12 month contract rather than 18 or 24 month offering they're doing. It meant buying direct from Apple so I got my Doris one too so we could See The Light with Facetime - hers is on their 1 month rolling contract - it's also here that the 3 to 3 bundle comes into its own.

Paris, because of what we'll use Facetime for
