The phone costs £269 ($538 USD) and the cheapest tariff in the UK is £35 per month ($70 USD) which is £420 per year ($840USD). To buy the phone and use it for a year will cost you at least £689 ($1378 USD). Why would anyone with a brain do that you can buy an unlocked and far supiriour Nokia N95 8gb and use it on any network you want for far less money? @ McDave

(269-199 fro the iPod Touch - not a music player but THE music player!). I don't think they're getting it at all. They should canvass more opinions in London. McD They can’t pay 70 quid for a phone!
