Okay, now I’m a big fan of the iPhone, but this is ridiculous – the iPhone 3GS is the best part of a grand (£1000 to non-UK’ers) online? Yes, it’s true! No, I didn’t believe it at first either!
Now before I go any further, I’ll just say that Play.com, the site where I found this deal, have a very good reputation in the UK – they’ve been doing excellent-priced media (muzik, DVDs, etc) for a long time – and they know how to offer stuff at a good price.
The iPhone 3GS 32GB is listed there at an eye-watering £899.99…
So what gives? Well, as I said above Play do good deals, so I can only think this pricing has largely been determined from Apple, up on the mothership – and my 10 cents/pence worth are that this is unabridged insanity – after all, you could pick up a MacBook Laptop for that price !!!
I’d more than welcome reader comments – if you want to check out the prices of the iPhones for yourself, head over to Play.com, in the Mobiles section…

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
