What I want to know is - what will the price be? They have not said anything on this yet. AT&T said yesturday that they would release on GoPhone (PAYG) but have now said today they are not.

My view is if they offer the iPhone as a PAYG even if it was double the price - people would perfer that to do Jailbreaks. I have a work phone which is paid for, and do not want to sign up for a 18month contract however quite happy to pay £300-400 for a iPhone on a PAYG

Nope - it's still 18 months.

And whilst 18 x £45 (lowest free handset tariff) is £810 that's roughly the same cost as any other handset in the top-end bracket.

An iPhone on PAYG is extremely interesting, isn't it?

If you check out O2.co.uk this morning its coming on PAYG - and the contract phones are FREE if you sign up to £45! Now thats a bit more forward thinking.

if they dont put the "UK Waiting" on it, which means it may be closer to £149.99 over here.. Again not a bad deal but wouldn't it be nice, just for once, we actually have something cheaper in this country rather than the usual rip off....

Ok, my moan over... Looking forward to attacking that bar later Ewan.... !

Cheaper? Not really. The contract is longer, too - add it all up and the iPhone still effectively costs £1000 or so. Or maybe I'm just in a grumpy mood this morning.... 8-)
