iPhone Coming to UK for £269

Submitted by Pete on Tue, 09/18/2007 - 1:49pm.

Apple announced today in London that the iPhone is coming to the UK with carrier 02 for £269 plus a minimum of a 18 month £35/month contact. That £35/month gets you a pathetic 200 minutes, 200 texts and unlimited data.

Other 02 tariffs on 18month contracts for £35/month get you 600 minutes and 1000 texts or 730 minutes and 100 texts. So why is iPhone tariff so different considering you have to fork out an extra £269 for the phone? Similar contracts with Orange Dolphin get you a Nokia N95 for £89.99 plus 600 minutes and unlimited texts for £35/month on an 18month contact.

I was really tempted to get an iPhone but for the sort of minutes I use it will cost me at least £45/month for the contract plus the initial £269 for the phone. This makes the iPhone way to expensive for myself and most other people, I will be surprised if the iPhone sells well at this price and I would expect a price drop in the near future.

Anyone going to be queueing for an iPhone on launch day?
