o2 iPhone Retentions Thread

Hello All
Having been an original iPhone owner since launch day (and having resisted the early 3G upgrade offer hoping for something cheaper... :rolleyes:) I am now eligible for upgrade.
Spoke to o2 Retentions yesterday, having made the appropriate noises re: closing my account, but was unable to negotiate ANYTHING better than the standard deals offered to new customers - ie
iPhone 8GB free on 24 mth contract @ £35
iPhone 16GB free on 24 mth contract @ £45
Am aware that the next gen iPhone is likely to be announced this summer. Do you think it's worth holding out? Has anyone negotiated a better deal? Is there a cheaper monthly rate going for us out-of-contract iPhone owners?
Help appreciated.
PLEASE, PLEASE do not use this thread to discuss the relative merits & costs of iPhones as compared to other makes. We know.

I don't think there is a new iPhone coming out any time soon. As far as I'm aware, it's only a major firmware update to give some new applications and features.Northern Ireland club member No 382 :j0
