I really can't understand why anyone would want to be tied to a contract like this in the first place, it'll cost £840 over the 2yrs. You can buy a HTC Wildfire unlocked from Play for under £225 and throw a £7.50 T-Mobile sim in it and over the same period of time it's cost you under half the amount, you can switch networks after 12 months if something better comes along etc...

Tesco Iphone 4 - 12 month Contract

16gb phone = £349
12 months @ £20 pcm = £240

Years cost = £ £589

Same phone Sim Free from Apple £499
Years sim £15 a month = £180

Total = £679.

Note pretty much everyone is currently charging a minimum of £15 for a sim only with a data bundle. The T-mobile £7-50 was a special offer and may not always be available, but even when it was a year would be £90 making the cost over a year £589 which is the same as Tesco, and Tesco you get a little back with a clubcard.
