After yesterdays rumours of a very highly priced 3G iPhone in the UK, O2 have today revealed the much speculated pricing – and we’re pretty damn happy!

Let’s get straight in to it… The 8gb 3G iPhone will cost £299 (pretty close to our prediction of £279!) The 16gb will cost £359.99. And guess what? All users get 6 months FREE unlimited 3G and WiFi access. That is pretty fucking awesome. Sign me up for the 16gb model.

Update: Mysteriously, all mention of these figures have vanished from the O2 site in the past ten minutes. Maybe they were not supposed to upload this information so early? Hmm, strange.

Gadget magazine Stuff is reporting that they have confirmation on the price of the 3G iPhone over here in the UK – and if it’s true, there are going to be a lot of pissed off people.

According to Stuff, the 8gb model will come clocking in at a massive £370 (~$750) while the 16gb will be a hefty £470 (~$950) – ouch. This is by no means officially confirmed, though Stuff have had a decent track record when it comes to rumours. Of course, this means our own predictions were way off. Maybe we were just dreaming.

So yeah – there may be some truth in these numbers; but really, £470? Ouch. That’s more expensive than a PlayStation 3.
