    As nice as the New iPhone looks. I'll be more interested to see what the next generation of Android phones have to offer.

    I still don't understand the pricing structure here:
    Apple suggests retailers sell the 16GB iPhone 4 model for $199 (£138) for the 32GB model for $299 (£207).

    Surely that means with a contract. If so, doesn't the price actually depend on the level of contract? In which case aren't these figures meaningless?

    "iPhone 4, only £138! With a £60 a month contract for 24 months."

    Yup thats the price plus contract.

    Here the US prices, the last column (No commitment) should be something like the UK payg price. Just change the $ for £. . .
  • Countdown time baby...

    Any guesses whether it will be released on PAYG at the same time???

    Did you ever think people buy the iphone because it is an absolutely fantastic device which works, doesn't crash, is fast, and a great media player as well as interent device and phone?

    For what people are paying for most contracts these days the iPhone pricing is very competitive...

    So MSE advise isn't "don't be a sheep"....

    You would hope, I can't see Apple wanting to miss any sales. Payg will also sell to people half way through their contracts and just want the phone.

    Personally, if its more than £499, I'm getting a Desire. Its very nice, but its not worth more than £500 never mind what Mr Jobs thinks. . .
  • I'll definitely get the PAYG version with an O2 iPhone Simplicity contract.. Saves a lot of money in the long run... already use o2 simplicity and the price is the same anyway monthly...

    If you get the Desire you'd regret it in a few months ^-^
