Its getting so tempting now, but is there not rumours of the next model coming out soon?
If so I would be willing to hold out for that.0 -
It's all very well them making these tempting offers but all I really need a mobile for are calls and texts and very rare WAP usage. On Asda's cheap PAYG deal I can get what I need with between £3 and £8 usage a month if I use it frugally.
The real question for me with the i-phone deal is asking myself whether or not it would be an adequate substitute for my landline, broadband and mobile service. IMO it wouldn't so I'm going to stick.0 -
I'm amazed to be told that £560 or £620 a year is supposed to be good value for this sometimes over-rated phone.
The last 3 years together have cost me less than that with as many minutes available and a modest phone. And with wi-fi available in more places, using VoIP to make calls when possible means a trend towards fewer mobile minutes needed.0 -

Well just like Macs, who have the components of a £400 laptop are sold for £850. Apple's in-ear headphones cost £61!?! Apple is like the Jack Wills of Tech. Overpriced due to the brand name.0 -

Exactly, they are masters of extraction of impressive sums of money for quite ordinary products really.0 -
If you're a low user (less than £15 a month say) with a lump sum it's cheaper to get Tesco's PAYG iPhone for £440, which also comes with unltd data for 12 months. It might also be cheaper if you spend a bit more than this on your phone bill as with their PAYG deal you get triple credit each time you top up.Go to the ant, thou sluggard0

I know this may not be for everyone but you may know a friend etc.
My company provide us with O2 open cards as part of a benefits scheme.
It currently offers until 31st July
1. £125 credit on any pay monthly tariff over £20 inc iPhones.
2. £100 credit on any simplicity 12 month deal
i.e. so £10 monthly 12 month contract would cost £20 for the year 300mins unlimited txts.
For those with iPhones £15 monthly 12 month contract would cost £80 for the year 300mins unlimited txts unlimited data.
These O2 open cards can be used 6 times per person for friends and family.:beer:
Personally I'm hoping the new iPhone announcement will be within and avail before the end of july to either drop the 3GS price or get the new one:rotfl:0 -
If past years are anything to go by, the next iPhone is likely to be announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in late June.0
