iPhone

[Gibs960]

I wanna get an iPhone for Christmas or Birthday but I've got a dilemma.

I've looked on the O2 it says price £129 but then it says £30 a month, does that mean I've got to buy it and pay £30 a month as well or does it mean I've got to pay £30 a month until it's paid for?

Also is the iPhone 3GS on P & G

it means you pay £129 upfront, then £30 a month for 18 months - if you want to look for cheaper ones then the 24 month will be less.

[Alexx..]

You pay the £129 to get the phone then £30 a month for your contract.

[Stephen!]

So overall you pay £670

Thats ridiculous, you could get a laptop for that! Imma get a blackberry instead

Yeh but you can sell the phone at the end of your contract for at least £200. So in effect you only paid for your contract and a little less too.

That's what many tend to do when they realise how expensive iPhones are - go for a Blackberry. If you go for the £45 a month contract the starting cost drops from £129 to about £90 I think. But there's no point in you actually doing that unless you need to have more minutes/texts than the £30 per month contract. Like someone has already said, at the end of the contract you still end up with a phone worth £350 - £400 if you go for the 4 because new they are £500 to £600.

3GS's aren't £500-£600 new?

Also blackberries are crap phones.
