Yet more iPhone pricing rumours

Follow-up to More iPhone 3G pricing rumours from Steve's blog

[I’m not really obsessing about the iPhone, honest:-]

The O2 website still isn’t showing iPhone 3G PAYG pricing. But it did, briefly, a little while ago, and somebody took a screenshot.

In summary, the phones will cost £300 (8GB) or £360 (16GB), which is about £100 more than the same-sized iPod Touch. This gives you 6 months of unlimited data (3G/WiFi) after which that costs £10/month. On top of that you pay for phone calls at PAYG rates, obviously. For somebody like me that only makes a few calls, that works out at significantly less than getting one on contract.

The cheapest contract is £30, for a minimum of 18 months. Add in the £100 for the phone and that gets you to £640. The PAYG total is £510 – £300 for the phone, £120 for 12 months of unlimited data, and £5/month for calls/texts.

Of course, since these numbers have now leaked, they’ll probably change them – why else pull the pages? So all the above is probably complete rubbish:-)
