Quite a few 3G iPhones are going on an auction site for £300-350.

If I got that for mine I'd buy a 16GB 3GS as the xtra £80 for another 8GB would come in handy

You think? Surely the SL DVD will have the usual ability to do a clean install on a blank hard drive.

Yes exactly like my Leopard upgrade disk for Tiger.

 

[BeatMaster]

£440 for a 16GB

This causes me much consideration...

Ditto. Looks like the 32Gb is out the question at nearly £100 more

Can't believe it's £50 more expensive than before even after a year. You'd think the price would remain the same but the hardware increase, sigh.

Still a lot cheaper than contract, 500 texts is quite low - surprised it's not unlimited.

Can't decide which is the better option really - 18month 16gb GS or 24month 32gb GS - Similar prices with different Advantages/Disadvantages

Given that they're not allowing pre-upgrades to iPhone customers, you'd be mad to take a 24 month contract now

Could you not buy thr 3GS for 440, sell your 3G for say 300ish so you only pay 140 for the 3GS?

Thanks to Westyfield2 above.

Thanks for the AT&T pic - ring up O2 UK and quote them that pic or any UK operator and see what they say...

And that's a problem?!

 

[lixxus]

i dont understand why people are buying second hand on ebay. when they can just buy direcly from o2. i mean if your going to pay £300 for an iphone. you might as well buy it from o2 brand new direct

Thats what I was thinking - but I like the idea of 32GB and on 18mnth is a tad expensive !

 

[slickback]

I bet a lot of 3rd party battery suppliers are not happy with apple going to internal batteries?

 

[Illusion]

Any ideas how much he MBP 13inch would be with HE discount?

 

[FreeStream]

16Gb iPhone 3Gs + £35 contract.

How much is my perfect screen/dented back fully working 2G worth now?

 

[Feek]

Yes. Look here. It's in a thread that's just below this one.

 

[fail at the internets]

LOL at these iPhones costing more than a laptop or in some cases, desktop pc.

 

[Robert]

Most phones @ 35PM/18 months will?

 

[Destination]

So a 32GB 3GS would cost on a £35 contract about £1000 to buy and then pay the contract over the course of the 24 months. Works out about the same as buying it PAYG and then putting £20 onto it each month. Contract way you get 500 free texts, PAYG you get zero.

Interesting times indeed. Thought of spending £1000 on a phone for 2 years is a major investment, ~£45 a month.

Now can some explain to me what tethering is please?
