Man queues overnight to buy iPhone 3GS... and take it to bits
London teardown
Crazy iFixit.com CEO Kyle Wiens arrived in London from California yesterday with the intention of queueing overnight to ensure he was first in line this morning to buy an iPhone 3G S.
No mere fanboy, this guy wanted the handset to being among the first geeks around the globe to disassemble Apple's faster, more capacious handset. Kyle, we salute you.
Kyle's undoubtedly catching forty winks, but here are a selection of his snaps taken during his handset autopsy this morning.

Two small screws by the dock connector and seven clips hold the 3GS' two halves together

Three cables - for the LCD, the digitiser panel and the earpiece - have to removed to break up the handset

Should we proceed? Heck, yes

18 month contract
The clue is in the title.
Just because you are an Apple owner != exempt from the law of contract.

Such clean fingernails. Their mommies must wipe them too.

Re: 150% increase
AC1 and AC2
You are both right...and both wrong....possibly
It all depend if the O2 Spokesman knows anything about maths and percentages and therefore actually understood what he was saying.
My guess is that he actually did not have a clue what he was saying and although what he strictly said meant 1.5 times more than normal, the actual increase was only 50%
@AC
"O2: "Our online shop saw a 150% increase in online traffic in the first two hours."
- wow - that's almost.. half their regular users again."
Ummm.. NO you'r thinking of a 50% increase 150% increase is 1.5 x more than normal so thats double and then half again.10 users -> 25, 100 -> 250 etc...
