AT&T has still remained mum on the subject of unsubsidized pricing for the iPhone 3G. This is something people are interested in, since many people may not end up qualifying for the unsubsidized price, due to already being mid-contract. (Granted, we still don’t know exactly how AT&T plans on handling this situation). However, some recent news from O2 might give us a good idea of what to expect.
O2 will be charging anywhere from free to £99 (for the 8GB model) which, on the higher end comes up to almost the same as what we are expecting to pay over here. Unlike AT&T, O2 will be offering the iPhone with one of their prepaid plans. You will have to pay an unsubsidized price to get one of these, and they’ve been kind enough to announce the unsubsidized price, which is £350. Now if this unsubsidized price holds true here in the US, we could expect to pay almost $700 for an 8GB iPhone.
Edit: Updated to reflect the correct price.

£159 is the subsidised price… the pay as you go price has not yet been announced…
Recent news from O2? It isn’t on their site and that price on one had is great, on the other, it seems rather cheap!!
Someone didn’t read too well, the article this post was taken from says £350!!
And the £350 isn’t even official, could still be more ^^
Yep, no official word!
Some peeps should be writing for The Sun ;-)
LOL @ the Baltimore sun comment
Guys, looking at the prices of Italian iPhone 3G, comparing with iPod touch price here, I think we will have 8GB iphone for 679$ and 16 GB for 779$…of course, this is just what I think, but I guess this will be the price, more or less.
There is no way that we will have to pay almost $700. That’s more than the original price of the original iPhone, and way more than what the iPhone is costing Apple to make, predicted to be at around $100.
It’s almost impossible that they’re gonna do that to their loyal AT&T customers.
