iPhone reduced to £61/$99

[Excellent2]

The problem with o2 is that they have to pay a crap load of money to Apple after every iPhone sale. o2 ripped themselves off to land the exclusivity of the iPhone.

I find it disgusting how they charge us so much over here though. o2 and Apple should get thinking.

Maybe a way that if we buy it in the US that it works here?

It's not going to be reduced, have a reality check here guys. The 3g is still a fantastic phone, and many people will still buy it despite the new 3gs coming out because they don't want to fork out £100ish more just to have video camera capability. If they did reduce it, then GREAT. But why should they when they will still sell them?

Here is an update from our greedy friends. (Maybe not so greedy if its true what they say at the beginning)

Dear Mr *,
Thank you for your email.
We have had no update from apple or the O2 network to confirm that we will be lowering the iPhone 3G, I ask that you wait for an update that will show on the carphone warehouse web site or O2s web site in the next few weeks.
If there is no update then I would ask you to call O2 direct on 0870 241 02 02 for the update
I hope this information helps.
Regards

It's pretty discusting how they can be in the UK. It's totally unfair and they are all for the money and not the customers.

Of course they are all for the money, they're a business they need it. Especially in times like these, money isn't disposable and it is their main focus. It might annoy us cus as customers we get put second, but its how it works.

Yeah but they will get loads of rants about why the US get it at 99$ and here its we pay $300+.

[efq]
