After months of rumours the new iPhone has arrived. Looking very similar to the old 3G iphone and only gets an S on the end. That is suppose to stand for “Speed” (come on apple usually you are great with names…). There is a raft of new features that have been around the internet for ages so I’m not going to repeat.
O2
I’ve been looking at the iPhone for a while and thought I might as well wait for the upgrade since it was only round the corner. Now its here can I really pay as much as they are asking for it. Being in UK its O2 that supply it and I’ve been with O2 for about 8 / 9 years now because I had a really good deal that I just paid my bills at the end of the month. But the downside with this deal is I’ve been left behind with all the picture messaging and everything, my phone supports them but the deal doesnt.
So the options (note these are prices from 13th June 2009).
Pay & Go
There are three options on pay and go:
- iPhone 3G 8GB – £342.50
- iPhone 3G S 16GB – £440.40
- iPhone 3G S 32GB – £538.30
Ummmm £540 seems abit steep, but after having the touch now for about a year and having used half of the space on my 16GB touch I’m abit nervous about getting only a 16GB iPhone!! I’ve not download TV series that I would like because of the worry about running out of space
So what about Pay Monthly

So the cheaps is an 18 Month contract at £29.38 meaning that total cost for the time being 528.84 plus then another £274 for the iPhone! So a total cost of £802.84!!! Now there are upsides and downsides to both the pay and go and pay monthly options….
Its never easy is it!!
