Why on earth would anyone buy it now when there's a 3G version rumoured to be released next year? (source)

Honestly, the iPhone really isn't that great. You can get the iPod Touch now...which is over half the reason why you would want the phone anyway. I'm not knocking the iPhone, but it just seems too hyped and too expensive.

£239 a month plus £35, £45 or £55 a month for contracts you can get for £10 less on other phones.

The iphone price drop I think makes it reasonably price. Only annoying thing is size, the $399 iTouch is 16gigs, the $399 iPhone is 8gigs, half the space, but now it's a phone, simple camera, and simple unlimited web browsing so you can use google maps application on the road if you need to. Or get the 8gig iphone refurbished from Apple's store with full year warranty for $350.

Basically, the iphone is now the same price as the iTouch, but the iphone has half the mp3 space.

While I'm not saying the iPhone is better, I bet the W910i will cost a pretty penny even with a 2 year contract.
