Well, after a series of good announcements from Apple at this year's WWDC event in San Francisco, it seems Apple/o2 have stirred up massive controversy. With purportedly huge upgrade fees for iPhone 3G users to upgrade to the new iPhone '3G S', it doesn't look like there'll be many people queuing this time round!

On first reports, handset cost (on my tariff) works out to about £170. I don't mind that due to the massive 32GB storage plus the new hardware features, but with the requirement to pay upwards of £250 to end early the existing contract seems lunacy....I certainly won't be queuing up at 5am this time! (Not that I did before, mind you......../ahem)

There's a torrent of despair running through the vestibules of Twitter and the like, with very unhappy o2/iPhone customers venting their spleens about this mad pricing. Time will tell if o2 are prepared to rethink their strategy on this one.....
