It's outdated hardware, if you're happy to pay over the odds for it for the next 2 years then go for it.

You could probably get a contract for not much more than this one for either a 4 or 4S.

Have you looked at the contract prices for the 4 and 4S?

How is 500 quid over 2 years with small installments for an iphone not a good deal? Mental comment.

It was a perfectly reasonable comment, you would have to be mad to pay so much for a second hand out of date phone. If your looking for a new phone, read the reviews, compare prices and don't follow the sheep. There are tons of new phones that are much better than this that can be bought for much cheaper - this site isnt moneywastingexpert after all!

But if you go for the o2 3gs one £13.50 a month for 24 months = £324 - £101 cashback = £224 for an iphone.

Ok if you're not bothered about having the latest model. You could always turn off data for a £152 iphone?

Does anyone know if you can still get one of these if your credit history isn't too good?... are they really strict?

Just answered my own question and tried to buy from o2, but they won't let me, I assume I didn't pass the credit check. B ugger.

Nope, mental comment. The majority of folk would much rather pay a cheaper monthly payment and ignore the bigger picture 24 months down the line. How is paying 20/month a month on pay day instead of 35/month on pay day money-wasting, especially in these times of expensive fuel bills? DOn't folloow the sheep, haha love it. Like there's a choice when the Iphone is about????

Try paying £20 per month for 18 months and getting a better phone that the 3GS. Hey but if you want to pay over the odds for 2nd hand old technology then be my guest!

You won't convert a die hard iPhone fan!

It's a bit like marmite, or dyson vacuum cleaners - you love 'em or you hate 'em!

You can buy a second hand IPHONE 3GS 16gb in perfect nick for around £160. Then a MAX of £10 a month for all you should need. So a total cost of £400 and thats with a better phone.

Where could you get one about that price?
