Right guys, my brother recently got an Iphone but has just lost it, and he didn't have insurance. I was hoping you can work your magic and try and find me the cheapest deal for a new one please. A 16gb/ or 8gb 3rd generation.
I would be so greatful if you could because I'd like to get him one for Christmas but it just looks too pricey at the minute.

Thanks:cool:

    I don't think you'll find oe cheap anywhere. Apple are setting the price so the difference is pennies across the networks. Especially if he needs it unlocked for his network.

    I just bought mine from Tesco on PAYG, with a £40 grocery spend they knock £20 off the phone price, also doing double clubcard points.

    ptdurk - why not read the constatly updated 'Cheapest iPhone discussion' thread? If he's still in contract or still has his SIM get onto eBay.

    One option might be to contact the network if still on contract, they will sometimes sell them to you at near to cost price.

    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
