    £75 per month??? What could possibly justify such a massive charge? That's a 16GB phone every 2 months!

    I admit I HAVE been waiting for this one but will by without these absurd tariffs. Most of the surfing and downloading will be done over WiFi anyway.

    Save the cash guys!

    £75 is not a high tariff for a high user - I know a lot of people on 50+ month contracts

    You can get it on PAYG towards the end of the year and if you are right most will be WiFi you should not have to worry about calls or data costs

    Website is up and down like a yo-yo, got as far as picking my phone and contract, just before the bolt-ons stage and it crapped out.

    Tried again, and now I've got what looks like some in-store interface for O2 stores!

    Argh, can't say they didn't have enough time to plan for this

    Personally I would stick with the N95 8Gb or wait for the new N96. iPhone to me is a bit of a fad.

    Ouch, I'd at least want a good phone if I was paying those prices.

    I sold my iPhone (...for more than I bought it for, <3 eBay users) about a month after buying it, when the novelty of having a touch screen wore off and I realised I'd paid about 3x the price of a decent phone.
