    How good is the the iphone itself? Has anyone used it here before?
  • £269 (for the phone) + £35(for the tariff) = £899/18months = £49.95 a month

    £269 (for the phone) + £45(for the tariff) = £1079/18months = £59.95 a month

    £269 (for the phone) + £55(for the tariff) = £1259/18months = £69.95 a month

    In my opinion, the iPhone is a pure fashion accessory.

    The phone itself isn't that great, features are weak compared to other cheaper phones on the market. Only 2MP camera, No Flash/Java, No 3rd party apps on phone, No MMS, No 3G. Not all essential features, but for the price, I'd expect better.

    As a Music Player, it's good, but as a combined device, a bit lacking. The touch sceeen is nice though.

    The price is high and unlikely to come down for quite a while. I'm sure it will sell as fashion conscious teens persuade parents to shell out for X-Mas/Birthdays.
    But the tariff is poor and overall it's a rip-off in my book. As someone at The Register states:

    "So that's 279, then [£]35*18 [months], for a total of over 900 quid.
    For that you could get yourself a Nokia N95 on a 12 month Flext35 contract, with double the included minutes, and unlimited 1.4mbit 3.5G.
    What's more, you'd still have enough left to buy an 8GB iPod Nano. And an entire PC"
