got mine this morning

apparently the yellow spots are due to a bonding agent that hasn't fully cured yet. After having the phone on for a few days it will go away (supposedly).

the recption thing is kind of scary. If you have the bumper on it doesn't happen. I haven't setup my phone yet so hopefully it doesn't suffer from the shite.

Tarrifs

The wait is over: the much hyped iPhone 4 is available to buy over the counter. Greater resolution, multitasking, the revolutionary FaceTime video calling, longer battery life and a 5 megapixel camera are just some of the benefits Apple is tempting us with. There have already been reports this morning of customers queueing as shops opened to get their hands on one of the new phones.

Orange, O2, Vodafone, Tesco Mobile and 3 have released prices with options on pay-as-you-go, monthly contracts and sim-only deals. O2 recently announced that it is ending its "unlimited" data plans, and since then, Vodafone, Tesco and 3 have also decided to cap data to between 500MB and 1GB a month. Orange has kept data unlimited, subject to fair usage.

Below are the findings, comparing the basic tariff of each provider and also tariffs that offer the iPhone 4 for free. But as ever, we need the eagle eyes of Guardian readers to help us find improved packages or better pricing as stores and on-line providers (and later T-Mobile) come on board, increasing the competition.

O2

The iPhone 4 is only available at the moment to current customers and on a monthly contract for either 18 or 24 months.

O2's basic package includes 100 UK minutes, 500MB of UK data , unlimited UK Wi-Fi and texts. The 16GB phone will cost £279 with a £25 monthly charge for two years and £209 and a £30 monthly charge for 18 months. However, if you want the 32GB iPhone 4 it will cost £323 for two years and £299 for 18 months.

The first contract to qualify for a free 16GB phone is the unlimited package at £65 a month.

Vodafone

Vodafone has both 18 and 24-month plans that offer between 75 and 3,000 minutes. The 75-minute package includes 250 texts and 1GB of data. The 16GB phone costs £219 and the 32GB version is £309 for either contract length with a £30 monthly charge for 18 months and £25 for two years.

To qualify for a free 16GB phone you need to be on the £60 monthly tariff on a two-year contract.

If you make a reasonable amount of calls, are a text fiend and are happy to be locked into a two-year deal, then Vodafone offers a £30 per month contract with a one-off payment of £169 for the 16GB phone, 300 UK minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB of mobile internet and webmail.

Orange

Orange also provides 18-month and two-year plans. The cheapest monthly tariff for two years, at £30, gives customer 150 UK minutes, 250 UK texts and unlimited internet browsing (with fair usage policy). The phone costs £169 for the 16GB and £269 for the 32GB version.

To qualify for a free 16GB iPhone you would need to be on the £75 tariff on a 24-month contract and would get an additional 100 minutes European roaming and 20MB of European roaming mobile internet browsing (Ireland and Europe 1 zone).

Orange is offering pay-as-you-go for both the 16GB and 32GB version at £480 and £570 respectively and you can choose whether you want free music, texts, evening and weekend calls or lower call rates from its various packages.

3

3 launched its tariffs this morning, which include contract, pay-as-you-go and sim-only deals. It will start by allocating iPhone 4 to existing customers who are close to or at the end of their contract; it has already contacted some of them.

It is offering 10 different 24-month contracts, five for the 16GB phone and five for the 32GB version. They vary in price between £30 and £45 a month. The £30 tariff gives customers 500 any-network minutes, 5,000 texts, 5,000 3-to-3 minutes and 1GB internet. The phone costs £99 for the 16GB and £189 for the 32GB version.

To qualify for a free 16GB iPhone you would need to be on the £45 a month tariff and would get an extra 1,500 any-network minutes.

The pay-as-you-go deals give a number of free texts, depending on how much you top up by, and 150MB of free internet data. Top-ups last 90 days and 3 will give you £10 credit if you keep your number. You need to buy the iPhone outright through Apple.

There are two sim-only deals at £15 and £25 a month. The £15 deal is offered on a one-month rolling contract and comes with 300 any-network minutes, 3,000 texts, 2,000 3-to-3 minutes and 1GB internet. The £25 12-month contract comes with 2,000 any-network minutes, 5,000 texts, 5,000 3-to-3 minutes and 1GB internet.

Tesco Mobile

Tesco Mobile offer a £20 per month contract (minimum 12 months) that provides 250 UK minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB per month data. However, the phone will cost £349 for the 16GB and £429 for the 32GB version.

Although you can't get the phone for free, if you sign up to a two-year contract for £45 a month, you only have to pay £19 for the 16GB handset and can receive unlimited minutes and texts.

If you sign up to one of the packages you will receive 1,000 Tesco Clubcard points and triple points for every pound you spend.

If you make lots of calls and texts from your mobile and would rather have a shorter contract, then 12 monthly payments of £35 and a one-off payment of £229 gets the 16GB phone, 750 UK minutes and unlimited UK texts as well as 1GB of data.

Apple

If you want the freedom to choose providers, then iPhone 4 is available direct from Apple at £499 for the 16GB and £599 for the 32GB. You are then free to choose a sim-only deal with one of the network providers that offers them.

Vodafone offers such a package and if you buy via vouchercodes.co.uk you can get a free Bluetooth headset on a 12-month deal.

Three's deal is fantastic looking at it.

£99, £30 for 24 months and 500 minutes and essentially unlimited texts, 1GB internet.

I pay £15 a month for that contract now sim free, without internet.

Makes it £460 over 24 months extra for what I'm currently paying and I get an iPhone AND 1gb internet usage.

If I can get some assurances on their signal then that'll be me.

If not then I'm going Tesco.
