    I got an email about it. You can order them online then too.

    I'm now thinking, if I went into an Apple store and bought an iPhone 4 on a 24 month contract with 3, would I get the educational discount? When I got my laptop it was 14% off and I know it differs for different products. Or is the only was to get the edu discount to buy the handset?

    I don't think you'll get EDU discount on what will already be a subsidised phone.... That said, if you don't ask, you don't get. Give them a call and see! :)

    Did a little googling and it seems that they just don't give edu discounts on iPhones like that. Ach well

    I need a carrier unlock :(

    It makes no sense for me to buy a $200 phone and not be able to use it in India. I almost bought one when the dev-team said that a carrier unlock will be out quickly. I'm glad I've held off so far but I need a new phone!

    Grabbed one at the weekend, can make the signal bars drop with hand positioning but it makes better calls in areas my Nokia N82 had no signal than I thought possible.

    Was the previous 3GS some godlike reception phone or are people really this concerned about a few bars going up and down on the screen?

    reception on mine seems to drop off just from touching the phone.. The signal is incredibly weak in my area but it is a bit frustrating.
