It's a bit academic now that O2 have said they're not going to sell the iPhone 4 on PAYG "yet". Bummer. I was intending to get a PAYG phone from O2, and that's why I didn't order one from Apple last Monday. Now the waiting list at the Apple Store is huge, and O2 won't accept reservations in advance, it looks like I'm not going to be getting one on Thursday. MST

I was waiting to see what the O2 pricing was for contract phones to see if it was worth while getting a contract. But it isn't. MST
