Nice design pattern for a premium web service - flickr

Like many people I pay for a premium flickr service. The basic service is free but with the premium service you can have hundreds of photos and sets of photos on-line.

When your premium subscription runs out, your service reverts to the basic one. This is a bit alarming since a lot of your photos disappear. But, a simple message and a $24 credit card payment sorts it all out for you and all of your old photos and sets re-appear without incident.

I've always regarded this as a nice way to offer both a free service and a much better premium service that is worth paying for.

Do O2 have the new iPhones or not?

The O2 Business website seems to be giving mixed messages about the availability of the new iPhone!



- or am I missing something?!
