iPhone hits the bargain bin
mad.co.uk reports:
"Telecoms giants O2 and the Carphone Warehouse are cutting the price of Apple’s iPhone by £100 less than six months after its launch.
O2 said the offer would be available on the original iPhone tariffs which start at £35 per month.
The decision to slash the cost of the handset comes ahead of the expected launch of a new model from Apple this summer.
Both the Carphone Warehouse and O2 said the eight gigabyte phone would be available for £169 until the 1 June, while the new model, a 16 gigabyte, would be priced at £329.
Last year, more than 70 per cent of consumers polled by market research company GfK NOP said that the recommended retail price of £269 for the iPhone was too much.
thing is - if there's a new one on the way, why bother with the old one, which quite frankly, has failed to impress a lot of people who dove in. Mind you, it's still better than the rubbish Nokia that I keep dropping.
