At Last

At last 6 weeks into a new year and finally we get a new BOFH, literally. I have been expecting this for a few years now. Looking forward to how it pans out.

i did some more calcs

I did a few more calcs and worked out the total cost of an Iphone on various deals from the main suppliers. All calcs done with white 16Gb 3GS and figures checked on suppliers website today 21/12/2009 for NEW customer. (Don't forget your PAC code guys)

Tesco white 16gb £320 £20 12 £560

Tesco white 16gb £0 £60 24 £1,440

Vodafone white 16gb £0 £60 24 £1,440

i got my calculator out

Tesco, price for Iphone on 12 month contract is £320. 12 months at £20 per month = £240. THis is a total cost over twelve months of £560.

Tesco price for phone on PAYG is £440. 12 months at £10 per month = £120.

This is a total cost over 12 months of £560.

No one else I can find does anything under an 18 month contract.

These prices are based on a white 16Gb 3GS.

Seems like a bloody good deal to me! Ok, coat, hook, shoulders, door......
