Update: Site back up, still no pricing details. We still expect to hear soon and certainly before June 24.

Update 2: As seen in the comments – 3 are being a bit naughty. An email was sent out with the subject, ‘iPhone 4 on Three. Pre-order now. But if you read the full email, it goes on to say, ‘We will be announcing our prices later this week and we’ll be back in touch with more details.

We are seeing messages on Twitter saying that the Three network in the UK has opened up iPhone 4 pre-orders. However, no pricing or mention of tariffs is available in the email and right now the Three website is down for maintenance.

This leads us on to believe that Three could be actually offering pre-orders unlike O2 who have decided to let current customers get the iPhone 4.

As mentioned above, the Three site is down for maintenance but as soon as it opens back up, which we expect to be soon, then we’ll let you know if they have indeed opened up for pre-orders. We’ll also let you know the prices and what you can get for signing up with the network.

iOS 4 is landing today although it isn’t ready for download just yet. For those asking when it will arrive, we expect that in the UK we’ll see it around 6pm although with the amount of iPhones that will be upgrading today it might be difficult to get a quick download of iOS 4.

Although the timing is just rumours, it does follow roughly the previous major update timings.

Product Reviews ran a poll asking users if they will be upgrading. 64% of iPhone uses who voted said that they would upgrade to the new iOS 4 as soon as it is made available with 19% waiting a few hours and 15% waiting a few days to upgrade. [Read more…]

There has been a bit of worry amongst those who have ordered a SIM free iPhone 4 in the UK in regards of how and when you can get hold of a microSIM for it. We know that the iPad microSIM’s don’t work on the iPhone 4 mainly because there is no voice activated on them, but carriers have yet to announce release dates of microSIM cards and where to collect them.

When speaking to all the UK carriers earlier this week, Geeky Gadgets was told that microSIMs would not be available until June 24 at the earliest with some saying a few days later. O2 however have now confirmed (in a phone call) that the iPhone 4 UK microSIMs on their network will be available around June 22 which indicates a delivery date of June 23 or 24. [Read more…]

Vodafone is the next network in to reveal the iPhone 4 UK price. Vodafone has slightly increased the prices on the phones from the leaks we found earlier this week although pricing still looks good.

To get an iPhone for free, you’ll need to choose the 16GB iPhone 4 and grab the highest price contract at £65/month for 18 months or £60/month on a 24 month contract.

On the lower monthly prices you’ll pay £30 (18 month) or £25 (24 month) with the 16GB iPhone 4 costing £129. What’s interesting to note is that the price of the iPhone 4 stays the same when comparing a 24 to an 18 month contract although the 24 month contracts are £5 cheaper per month for the same amount of minutes and texts.

If you want an iPhone 4 in the UK on June 24 then you best get queuing at the Apple store closest to you. Stores open at 8am.

On to network details for the iPhone 4. O2 released their iPhone 4 pricing earlier today and Orange also released pricing yesterday. Only 3 networks to go now with Three believed to be holding off revealing the iPhone 4 UK price until other networks have revealed their pricing as Three apparently want to undercut them all on pricing and possibly minutes/data and texts.
