The company that provided the first 3G mobile phone network in the UK is the latest to join the bandwagon, providing the fifth generation iPhone. The new Smartphone, which launches tomorrow, has already become a rage with gadget fans. Eager Appleite's have been queuing outside Apple for over 48 hours! Pre-ordering takes away the uncertainty of "if they do still have one left by time you arrive". Incidentally the older models have kept their value well so it is definitely worth buying a newer model. It has larger screen and faster CPU. iP4S onwards have enhanced features like Siri, iMessage (free texts via WiFi to Apple devices), video calling (face-time) and consumption of media like books and periodicals besides music, movies, and exciting iOS 6 games and Apps for FREE.
The major difference between Three and other network providers is that Three has more generous monthly data allowance across their plans. On The One Plan Three offers "All you can eat data" - and you won't face stealthily high out of contact rates other providers bill you for. This is where they make their money - out of contract rates. So make sure you keep a check on your usage. Historically, data usage increases year on year. So be wise and budget for more Facebook usage and more YouTube streaming. The iP5 is 4G capable, but the network in the UK is along way from being ready.
