There's no way I'm paying for a £35/mo mobile contract of any length; I like my £15/mo contract with 3 and a £2 10MB data download rider which is plenty to get the odd Yahoo! mail on the go, not to mention the free handset upgrade.

Maybe when my present 18mo. contract is up in 2009 the iPhone will be offered more widely and with better contract terms, but even then I'd be buying it for the UI and ease of sync; not for the "combined widget factor" -- I just cannot see spending hours of my life uploading hundreds of CDs to my computer just to upload some of them periodically to a portable music player when I've already dubbed them to MD.
