    i want the i phone,badly.
    thing is i wanted new contracts not to exceed £50 a month together.
    o/h wanted c905 and i must have atleast 600 mins on mine.
    iphone starts at £40 a month call plan doesnt it?

    I think you can get one a little cheaper, but, it costs alot for the actual iPhone. It wouldn't be subsidised as much.

    I would never go with them. They are always ringing us, trying to get us to swap to them. I tell them to sod off.

    I read somewhere that o2's exclusivity with the iPhone is ending and T-Mobile & Orange can sell it from Oct/Nov - will try and find the link.

    So prices should fall when theres a bit of competition

    I haven't come across a catalogue which sell the iPhone TBH. I would buy one if Littlewoods etc did sell them.
