I don't really know much about Iphones but isn't there a new one coming out later this year? If you could wait til then would you get the older one on a better deal? Or is it a case of it's still an Iphone so it will still be expensive...
It might be worth looking on TopCashback/Quidco as well to see if there are any good deals?
Did you see Martin's email this week it was all about bartering with mobile phone providers
