    there are only 2 ways

    expensive contract with O2 or direct from Apple

    there are "unlocked" ones for sale but this disables some features and often gets reinstated when the software gets updated on the phone

    The price will stay high as long as there are idiots willing to pay for the novelty of this over rated handset.

    Maybe a blessing in disguise...as i think its ridiculous to spend that sort of money a phone for a 14 year old!.Surely there are plenty of other phones to choose from.

    14 year old has been informed to pick another cheaper phone ! ,as espresso said if people are willing to pay the price it will stay high.
