iPhone 3G S makes us all happy :)

[Grimspoon]

Yeah and now lets be honest, what is the chances of us getting it cheaper than the UK - zero.

You can get the 8GB iPhone3g cheap locally already.

R185pm 2 year contract.

And it's unlocked!

That's less than the UK launch price!

O2 is the exclusive carrier for the new iPhone in the UK and will be offering the new iPhone at £440.40 for the 16GB 3GS and £538.30 for the 32GB 3GS on Pay As You Go contracts.

Indeed.
What these guys ^ said....

I am also tired of ppl asking whether they will get iPhones for $100.
FFS ppl. You have been through this already.
What that means is about a R2500 pay in (or more) and a contract needed.
The Americans are NOT buying iPhones for $100 cash.

Not that it matters that we go through this again here. In 5 days, someone else is going to bring up that same comment in a new thread. *sigh*

Watch carefully ...

R13.1953 = 1 GBP (10th June 2009 @20:39HRS)

So GBP 538.30 (launch price UK) = 13.1953 x 538.30 = R7103.03 (Rand equivalent)

R7000 (Your speculative SA launch price) < R7103.03

Q.E.D.

The Brits are complaining already about UK prices.

The good news (if you don't already own one) is that this would probably cause the iphone 3g prices to drop substantially.
But then again, this would be really bad if you just upgraded from the first to the second gen iphone.
