Cheapest way to get an IPHONE 3 G S

Hi Everyone,

I have just signed up to a 24 month O2 contract and received the HTC touch HD phone which I am not getting on wth and broke it into a million pieces the other day!

So I want to buy an I Phone 3 G S but I guess I have to buy it PAY AS YOU GO because I am stuck in my current contract which is £50 a month.

Can someone tell me the cheapest way to get a new one? They are £540 pay as you go on the O2 website but I may be able to go through a cashback site?

Appreciate any help you may have

Kind Regards

    The 'new' iPhone (the 3GS) was released this year. A new one is sure to be released during your 2 year contract of course! The cheapest way I know of is to get 4% cashback from Quidco thru the Apple Store, and also get yourself an AMEX card to get 5% off - have a look in the credit card articles. You do realise that contract costs you £1,200!

    There is always a 'new' 'replace product here' on the horizon. To keep people buying expensive gadgets.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
