It seems like everyday a new retailer is getting their hands on an Apple product. Today, it was announced Mobiles.co.uk now will be selling the iPhone 3G in the UK. This is actually the first time the phone has been sold in the UK by any other retailer than Apple, Carphone Warehouse or O2.
The retailer is offering up the 8GB black model and the 16GB black and white models of the iPhone 3G. The great thing is the price, however. The pricing ranges depending on what O2 plan you purchase. However, with the higher-end monthly plans, you can get the iPhone for free!
In order to get the free phone, you will have to either purchase a £45 a month plan for a free 8GB, or the £75 a month plan, which gets you 3000 mins, 500 texts and either a free 8GB or 16GB iPhone. If O2 is the carrier for you, then this sounds like a great deal.
If you check the footer of mobiles.co.uk it says © Copyright 1995 – 2008 The Carphone Warehouse suggesting that the site is actually owned by the Carphone Warehouse so not really a different retailer.
This is exactly the same deal as O2 is offering directly, so not exactly a “Great Deal”

Oh my God! What a great price! So much cheaper than….oh no, wait.
The prices are exactly the same as on the 02 website, though the price has slightly dropped on the carphone warehouse website. I am sick of 02, when the iphone finally comes out on other networks then it will be much better. I do hope 3 release the iphone soon as they have the best 3G coverage then any other network.
I’d say the mobiles.co.uk iphone deal is exclusive because Apple only ever let Carphone Warehouse direct sell it and also O2. E2Save are also owned by Carphone Warehouse and i notice they dont sell it! I wonder why only mobiles.co.uk can? Their website looks beter for starters…

That explains it!
It may be too complicated and very inclusive for me. I am expecting for your another posting, and I plan to try to comprehend it! In fact the post is spreading its wings quickly, hunting for it…
