iPhone in the UK - Sums and play?

the new iPhone 3Gs is NOT the same price as the current ones.

16gb 3Gs = £184.98 top price on £30 or £35 contracts
32gb 3Gs = £274.23 top price on £30 or £35 contracts

it'll be interesting to see the full price list later tonight

the 3g was better in the UK than the US, however, now, the tables have turned, and the 3gs is more expensive than the US.

However, we do get MMS from the day of release, and we get tethering for an extra £15 ish a month if you want.

still awaiting the announcement on the prices for the PAYG versions of the 3gs

The new iPhone 3Gs has been announced today, released on 19th June. O2 are keeping their exclusivity and there will be a 16Gb and a 32Gb version for the same price as the current 8Gb and 16Gb. There are talks of selling the 3G cheeper than it currently is.
There's also a new iPhone OS that should iron out any previous issues such as the ability to send mms.

Where have you read this, I called o2 tonight and they have no news of the new iphone 3gs. I told the girl that it launches on the 19th.

Have been trying to find out whether 02 retain their exclusivity, I am with 02 and would prefer to stay with them as since being with them I have been able to get a signal in places that I couldn't with vodafone and bt.

Not according to this http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/news/2009/06/08/Apple-Announces-Faster--iPhone-3GS-/p1

Plus it's been stated that UK prices will not be announced until closer to release date.

twitter.com/o2

it's the official o2 twitter account and told us the prices, so LittleOne83 is wrong as the prices are NOT the same.

yes they still have exclusivity, as no one has yet announced they're having the iPhone 3gs

I honestly can't remember where I read this, looked at so much in the past hour about the 3Gs, if you google it there's loads of info on the phone.
I'm in the same position as you with regard staying at O2, my contract can be renewed next week and wanted an iPhone, might wait another week for this.

Whatever, wont bother trying to be helpful next time. And it's not tosh, it's from reviews of the presentation and the live blog of the presentation itself.

Are these prices confirmed or just GBP equivalents of $USD prices. I can't see any info on o2.co.uk yet.
