it does make me feel better - as I was in the market for a new GPS unit anyway (old one broke down) and won't have to spend £150+ on that. I only need basic A-B gps so google maps will do. However, I hear on the interwebs that TomTom have a working iPhone version in beta...

the 16Gb will probably be the better option with all the new SDK software and games on the way too...

Only problem is what to do with my old 8Gb iPhone phone - its basically worthless now.... and the wife don't like it.

Is it also true that as in the USA (AT&T) that activation must be done in o2 stores...?

Who pays £75/month for 3,000 minutes and 500 texts!? In fact, who pays £30/month for 75 mins and 125 texts? Dear lord that's terrible. The £35 is pretty good though.

Anyone buying the £30/pm contract gets a contract AND certified insane at the same time, so while you do get a swanky 3G iPhone, you can't actually use it because they confiscate that sort of thing before you're committed to the psych ward.

Well, we musn't grumble too much. It looks like AT&T in America has caught the 'rip-off Britain' bug and decided to effectively introduce a price hike by sneakily decreasing the cost of the i-phone to $199 whilst increasing the cost of data services by $10 a month. The result is that the new 3G phone will actually cost $20 more over the life of the contract than the previous (supposedly more expensive) model. Let's hope that 02 don't wise up and try to use the same scam.........

Why didn't you properly pounce on the new £30ppm tariff?

When you look down the scale of the tariffs, the £30 sticks out like sore thumb. Pay an extra fiver a month and you get a shedload more minutes. They shouldn't even of bothered creating it...

Also, what was this bull**** about it being no more than $200 worldwide? $200 is £102 quid as of today, feel free to put that tag of rip-off britain back on would you?

And now spare a moment for our fallen comrade - the iPod Touch. As always it was the black sheep in the family (though not always reaching the levels of black we would have liked).

Always left out in the cold with upgrade costs, and no real street cred, it's now dying of pricepoint hypothermia. The main reason for buying one - to avoid the horrid phone contract - is now exploded with the 3G's PAYG option, and it's not going to be too far away for the 8GB Touch's £199.

That's just my guess, but I'd like to see it stick around with a slashed price because I've always maintained the iPhone, for all it's fantastic usability, is still not great AS A PHONE (no bluetooth file transfer, no card slot, no MMS (!), no video recording, crap camera, and I don't care no one else gives a damn about ringtones, my phone - My Music - my ringtone - for free). And yet as a PMP I think it's rather handsome indeed, so I've always preferred the iPhone-Without-the-Phone.

Aww. Poor wee Touch.

Errrr D-Unit, it ISN'T more than £102. In fact the most you can pay for an 8GB iPhone 3G is £99. Think you're a little mixed up ;)
