Will the iPhone be available on PAYG? I'm unwilling to sign up to an 18 month contract with 02 just to get my hands on this phone.

not while the demand outstrips supply

best chance is finding someone who has an O2 contract , due for an upgrade, who does not want a new phone and will let you have theirs

Sadly form will triumph over function.

You probably right I aint a mobile expert, the iphone looks good but thats way it goes down hill from then on. Mind you ipods although look good and function fine theres better players but looks over functionality often sell most

try eBay. but not exactly MoneySaving!!!! more like MoneySpending. get a free phone on a free (or almost free) contract. do you really need an iPhone? Can it wait a year when they drop about 50% in price? Try this I found today. Still snazzy & some touchscreen - http://www.e2save.com/contract-mobile-phone/LG-Chocolate-Clearance-Price-Match/CHOCPMCL

Or LG prada? that's completely touchscreen and quite similar.

Hope this helps!

The iPhone won't be available as an upgrade, everyone has to buy it at retail price.

I've heard that a PAYG option is coming, but not until early next year (currently pinpointed as being February).

I've not heard great things about the Prada phone to be honest. Again, style over substance reviews.

Could you provide a source for this info?

Existing Customers - "You'll need to start a new 18 month minimum term contract and pay for your iPhone handset but you can keep your existing number. So everyone will know it's you when you call them to brag."

I found this here http://www.o2.co.uk/iPhone-Availability.html under the tab "Existing Customers"
