Will the phone actually be £101? Or will it go up depending on what?

Ive just gone down to my o2 store in guildford to get one reserved for July 11. Im getting hte 16GB one on the £35 contract with o2 for 18 months. The handset will cost £169 for the 16gb, and £99 for 8GB. Pretty good price tbh, but the contracts are prettying high compared to america.

Everyone does realise it'll only be £99 on CONTRACT for 18 months?

Pay as you go price is rumoured to be £370...

After reading an article further, a rumour that is almost confirmed states that the phone will not be on pay and go under any price and the minimum contract will be 24months. Also the contract price will be up another $10 than the previous iphone to cover for the subsidised cost of the phone and this may even be without any text messages. This could mean that you could be paying £40/$80 per month for the contract for 2 years just to get the phone at a cheaper price.

So after looking closer i wouldn't get the phone just yet because within a few months of release i think the phone would be given out for free on the same contract with different companys.

If the iPhone 3G PAYG is £500 in the UK and you buy it. Then your bloody crazy. It be much cheaper to get a contract with the phone.

Minimum contract is 18 months and minimum monthly bill is 30

18 x 30 = 540

+ 100 for the phone = £640

So if you'd top up at least £140, you masewell get it on contract.

(That is assuming it is £500, which it WON'T be)


It is coming to PAYG, it's been confirmed on the O2 website.
