Twitter:
@jlowery354 Every O2 customer needs to pay to end their contract if they want to upgrade early I'm afraid

i'm too annoyed... shutting down now.. let the dust settle and ready to beat sense into O2 tomorrow 
they must realise their mistake(s)

and im sure apple will love the amount of lost sales from locked in o2 customers who will not pay at the £35x6months to upgrade PLUS the handset price

" we dont know anything, we have no phones in stock, i cant tell you anything"
i sent them an email, but am expecting the same load of bull sh*t i got off them last year.
if anyone can get any sense out them let us know. they really are useless at this.
tbh i dont really care how much it costs , but i would like to at least order one.
ffs.
btw i am due an upgrade on one contract, and have 6 months left on another.

I'm amazed some of you really thought you wouldn't have to complete your agreed contract period.
Apple has cut the price of its iPhone 3G with 8GB of memory to $99 (£61).
From the BBC website....I'm guessing this is with a contract?
I know O2 stores had a big clear out of 4gb iPhones when the new boys arrived.

Same here.
I specifically didn't get the iPhone 3G and stayed with my 2G as I thought a new version would be out around this time.
hey guys, would its be cheaper to buy they pay as you go 32gig 3gs then use my current 3g's sim than leave contract and recontract? im not really bothered with the cost just want to find out the cheapest way to do it. or is nothing certain till the official statment
They're just converting the USD price to GBP. We're going to have to take into account VAT and everything else.
What O2 needs to bear in mind is that at some point Apple will allow other operators to offer the iPhone. If O2 allows current iPhone users to upgrade at a sensible cost, then they get locked into a new 18 month (or even 24 month) contract, virtually guaranteeing that they will remain O2 customers for that period of time.
I know I will have no hesitation switching providers if another is available when my contract ends. If O2 offer me a good upgrade deal I will stay loyal.

Crazy, they're not allowing upgrades for the 3G if your upgrade option isn't up yet on ATT. They never did this before. via @dancameron
It's happening in the US too!

There's no way it will be £61. I reckon with nearly 100% certainty, it will be £99.
Will O2 ever learn?
remember the debacle last year with iPhones not activating sims for up to a week after purchase!

Not good...
If they said last year *You must wait until your contract ends to get the iPhone 3G* , then people would expect this from the iPhone 3Gs
But now they want you to pay?
Why not just do what they did last year, add another 18 months to your contacts??
VERY VERY silly move....

is the $99 price point for the pay as you go option?
the UK apple store is claiming the pay as you go 8gb is £349!!
