Looks like we're that bit closer to having it in the U.K.

Until I can bung my Tesco Mobile SIM card in it, and until it's a reasonable price, I'll stick with my banged-up old V220. As nice as the iPhone is, the costs are horrendous.

True, bit until all networks embrace visual voicemail and unlimited data on non business plans it'd be pretty rubbish on any other networks.

I don't know, if European countries get an iPhone with 3G and at least $100 cheaper than iPhone buyers in the US, US buyers might show up in Cupertino with torches and pitchforks!

Free data on non-business plans? I can't see that happening - they'd give us flying cars first, surely?

And historically UK/Euro prices are higher, so I think we'll get stitched up when it finally arrives.

I think it will cost an absolute fortune when it comes here and just wont deliver for its price tag.

Sure its innovative but there are a lot of faults to it too.

In the UK it will definitely cost way more than the US and be tied to contract no doubt.

I will be keeping my eye out for a brand new unlocked US version going cheap on ebay.

Yeah, like the AT&T plans, otherwise you couldn't really use the features it has and then well it might as well be a normal mobile.
