"(8GB Sansa Clip only £40)" Or the Sansa Fuze for £60, which is the same prices as the Shuffle.

Fourth generation? Guys, 3g doesn't stand for third generation in this context now, does it?

A 2 year contract is a looooong time. I wonder how happy the folks that snap up this bargain will be if the rumoured iPhone replacement materialises in the not too distant future and they're stuck for 2 long years with an already out of date phone.

Hopefully an upgrade option would be available like with the first to second gen iPhone. Doesn't help me with my unlocked-and-on-Orange handset though :(

Marvellous.

I upgraded to the iPhone at the begining of the month, and paid for it on tuesday.

How did i guess this was going to happen...

@evil_mart - well, we have been preaching to you that a new iPhone is only 2/3 months away so you do it to yourself ;)

"By comparison that saves £96.89 and £57.74 respectively on the current prices, but at the cost of those six extra months."

So it doesn't really save you anything at all because you're tied in for those extra 6 months?

Very true, been listening to TR's advice for years, only have myself to blame.

@John McLean - Gregor's quoting the link from the TR front page, which is subtitled: "So the iPhone fourth generation clearly isn't far away..."

Now we know for sure that the current iPhone gets iPhone OS 3.0 for free I suppose the up-front price reduction is quite nice. 24 month contracts are just evil, though - like 18 month isn't bad enough.

I have my iphone unlocked and run it on asda mobile, they use the vodafone network so coverage is great. At only 8p a min, 4p a text message, and 10p a meg for data its a bargain. When the new ones comes out you should find a raft of people flogging the old ones, so play it clever and you could pick up a bargain. I got mine of a friend when he upgraded his to the 3g version.

@Kingsley - ah, thanks for clearing that up. I rarely go through the front page as I generally pick everything up from the RSS feed.

@evil_mart

You have a 14 day 'cool off' period on contracts (in the UK) so you can just send it back...pay for the calls you made, and wait for the new version.

"I have my iphone unlocked and run it on asda mobile, they use the vodafone network so coverage is great"

@the TR team - I'm know we've all known this for years- smaller carriers piggy backing bigger Telco's networks for a fee. If this is really the case, with no caveats, what's the advantage of being on Vodafone rather than someone like Asda or Tesco?

Ridicule from you're mates aside :o)

New models, new tarriffs (so to include MMS) and iPhone OS 3.0 to see a simultaneous launch perhaps?

I just hope they strike a deal with other networks, I want to enjoy all the benefits of the O2 tariff but on a network with 3G in my area and a decent signal in the surrounding parts, namely - Vodafone :)

There isn't an advantage really - as long as network coverage is good where you want to sue the phone it makes sense just to go with the best value carrier? Regardless who that is.

@hugo,

Okay, cheers. I was always under the illusion that callers on piggy backed providers get 'bumped' of the network first if it's really busy.

Either way, I think i'll start paying more attention to these smaller providers in future.

Yay! An orange Shuff- oh wait, it's the new Delboy one.

And Clip you say? Well keeping in line with my now 8-year long rejection of an iPod, I am torn between an 8gig Sansa Clip, a 16gig iAudio 7, and a 32gig Creative Zen. Now if Sansa releases a 16gig clip - and they certainly managed it on their µSDHC cards - then that'd be a sweet spot between ease of use and capacity, ergo : DEAL.
