Yes just like an ipod touch but you get to use the camera and bluetooh and when they sort out a descent unlocking system you get to use the phone as well for nearly the same price as an ipod touch

the iPhone will not be available on a payg basis (ie sim free). They will for now tie it into a contract, if you really want it you would be better off importing it from the states

i dont want it on payg just want to use the functions apart from the phone

Not sure my friend called O2 customer services and apparently whilst he was on hold the automated message came through and said the i phone was now available exclusively on O2?

I wouldn't assume that means it is in stock. More likely they're advertising the fact that they won the contract to supply the iphone.

Having said that, if the OP really wants the iPhone, he's better off getting it in the states and unlocking it. Can be had for around £260 unlocked.. which is far cheaper than getting tied into a 18 month contract.

I would also not assume that the UK stock will be unlockable in the same way as the US stock is - I don't think anyone has thought about this. If I were Apple, I'd have made changes very quickly once that hack was found...
