but to those that are subscribed to contract which is so common esp. in UK, the iphone 3g is going to be worthy and cheaper.

previously,

£35 monthly for 18 month for 600 min and 600 text every month + unlimited wifi data transfer + £368 for iphone 8gb.

and now £35 bla bla bla for 18 month, but only £99 for the iphone 3g.

many people have miss this point, and obviously in uk, people who goes for iphone is definitely is tied to some contract. people using prepay/pay-as-you-go doesnt bother to get a expensive phone.
