I cant see them dropping below £200 on the o2 recycle, which is more than enough to cover the cost of a new contract on the iPhone 4.
Im not sure when you can pre-order with o2, but you should be able to pre-order with apple today.
I think the phone will be available as of this coming Monday, so I may look to sell my 3GS to apple perhaps today/tomorrow to cover costs.

The iPhone 4 UK price has been revealed with Apple unveiling the cost of grabbing an unlocked iPhone 4 straight from the Apple Store. We’ll get contract prices from the iPhone 4 UK networks imminently but if you want a SIM-free phone it’ll set you back £499 for a 16GB iPhone 4 and £599 for the 32GB iPhone 4. Read on for more details…
As well as outing the iPhone 4 UK price for an unlocked phone, Apple has also revealed that you can now grab an 8GB iPhone 3GS unlocked for £419. We’re not sure why you would when an extra £80 will get you an iPhone 4 with twice the capacity.

just did the maths on me getting an iPhone 4
Current Contract 35 tariff
18m x £35 = £630
18m x £10 = £180 (insurance)
1 x iPhone £280
Total £1090
Simplicity equivalent tariff
12m x £20 = £240
12m x £10 = £120 (insurance)
1 x iPhone = £300 (Apple store tade in for old 32Gb 3GS)
Total £660
No brainer for me!

Just had a guy Call me from o2 to try and get me on contract, he said he shouldn't be telling me this but theyve had info it's goin to retail at £750 on Payg. Probs just bullshitting though cus I was I wasn't biteing!
sounds like a bellend if you ask me.
I would have asked to speak to his supervisor and then asked his boss why he's bullshitting.
Best of it was, he reminded me the call was recorded before he started, i remembered when i worked on the phone i would get get sacked for lieing to customers.
his price for the payg model, was, well pretty much spot on tbh
So its going to be £750 to buy, surely thats bollocks
16GB1
From £499
Thankyou
Edited coz I fucked up Still not £750 though

Surely you need to compare like with like You have not included a trade on on the contract and 18m vs 12m
Current Contract 35 tariff = 1090 - 230 = £860 = £47pm
Simplicity = £660 = £55pm
Your probably better going for the 18 month contract and then paying out of it when the iPhone 5 comes out.

Exactly right Rob.
Add another 6 months of usage plus insurance and the total of the Simplicity deal comes to £840.
If you took the 18 month contract you would also have your 3GS to trade in reducing the cost of that to £890 (assuming you get a measly £200 for it).
Not much in it at all.

true i could take the cost of trade in off the £1090 but i still have a an 18m contract, id rather have 12m contract.
Oh and i have 6 months left on my current contract so i have to take into account that also.

No brainer for me!
Also factor in that the new contract with o2 (for new phone) only gives 300 minutes for £35 / month.
The equiv simplicity is only £10 month.
So actually.
12m x £10 = £120
12m x £10 = £120 (insurance)
1 x iPhone4 16gb = £150 (trade in for old 16Gb 3GS) (£499 - £300)
Total £390
But what about data?
... The only problem is that I still have 6 months outstanding on o2, so £35 x 6 months.

^^ ofc you need the data package @ £19 pm.
This is what im going to do, trade in the 3GS 16GB (like today, enough time to clear for next week, use a crappy old phone for a few days), then take out a new contract next week.
