Haha!

Although, there's no reason to doubt it as I'm sure this will happen, I smelt an amusing wind-up when he posted her text saying "Sorry I'm late. I hate meat packing". :lol: ...Afterwards he innocently clarified that Meat Packing is an area of NYC. On another screenshot, she was just outside the throat hospital. Very funny coincidence, but Image

A woman that hates the meat packing district? No **** way. That place is filled with high-end boutiques.

I had decided I'd get an iphone4. Siri isn't so useful in the UK yet and I guess it'll take a while before the speed benefits of the 4S are actually useful for something. I checked out ebay completed listings and found that I could buy a decent condition iphone 4 for nearly half the price of a 4S. Unfortunately the price of the iphone4 has now spiked up a bit. They were going for £260-£300 just before the 4S announcement and seem to be £300-£330 after. I guess since there was no 'iphone5' and the 4S shares the same external case, iphone4 owners aren't as desperate to sell anymore.

£300+ is just too much for me though. For the time I've spent looking for a cheaper iphone4 (I even had an amazon marketplace seller try to phish me into a fake deal - cheeky ****), I'm getting dangerously close to saying **** and clicking buy on a 4S from apple.com. :?

£500. Phone companies aren't silly anymore. I can't find a contract that's actually cheaper than the handset + a cheap sim only contract overall - even taking quidco into account. Plus I would prefer to stay with O2.

I'm dangerously close but it doesn't mean I will though. But then again if I put a monetary value to the amount of hours I'm likely to spend looking for an iphone4 at the price I want to pay, I'm probably going to end up half way to the 4S price.

I'll do some more grooming and keep trying to lure an ebay seller "out of ebay". :o

Also I'm tempted to take a punt on an AT&T US iphone4. They go for about £220, but are a bit more hassle to unlock. If I did get hit by customs though, I take it I'd be looking at £100+?

Now my brains hurting again. And that shiny apple buy now button looks soooo clickable. :palm:
