[Ken]

Yeah,but I presume that the service and additional options will be more expensive.

[+iio]

wow. thats like £150?! i might get one...

[Satan]

Wait, is it 200$ unlocked?

[magikman]

It's a rip off, you have to buy a 2-year plan which costs 1,879, more than the old one by $40.

[kifac]

that's how much it costs to buy from the apple store.

i have also posted a thread stating why they may have priced it this much.

[Satan]

So basically you get to buy the cellphone itself with NO plan for 200?

You know how there are companies, such as Vodafone and Telecom.. Well at least in New Zealand, and they sell SIM cards, that you put into your phone.. And this is your number and w/e.
Does the 3G iPhone have the ability to take SIM cards, or is it still with that AT&T thing?
Is AT&T the company that sells the product, or is it the phone company that operates the pricing of the phones call's and txt's?
