People on the o2 forum have been talking about it and have had it mentioned by o2 when they've called retentions,
could be all talk but 1 or 2 people seem to be in the know so guess they are probably o2 staff.

ok, I've had time to look at these now and apart from the £30 plan where you get double minutes and text on Orange compared to O2, everything else seems like they just copied O2 tariffs, doesn't it?

Pretty poor showing really - ok, the £30 tarriff is slightly better value, but it's basically O2 pricing still - complete with the big premium on the 3GS and the same pricing on the 3G that it launched with more than a year ago.
If you just have to have it on Orange then it's good news I guess, but otherwise - meh.
I'm more than a year into my 18mth contract now, and find it very bizarre that if I was in the market for a new phone right now I'd almost certainly end up with exactly the same iPhone 3G 8GB, for £99 on a £30pm 18mth contract that I bought last year... the 3GS is still too pricey, and none of the other deals make sense for me. At this rate, I'll be hanging onto my trusty 3G for a long while yet.

My 18th months is up in mid Jan and if Vodafone end up doing the same prices then I'll prob just take myself back to tmob 'coz I definitly am not staying with o2 after that
so much for competition!

Orange already said there was not going to be a price war. Bit stupid really but people are still going to get it because its something new an iphone with another network. I personally would choose Orange or Vodafone never O2 again and T Mobile definately not. At least its on pay as you go too
I think they will sell well on Orange because there are many people still who dont like O2. I might just be leaning towards getting one as i am on Orange though not contract. I am kind of starting to like it but never wanted one on O2. Crap network imo.

They got it out at the right time with Christmas coming up. Though with the credit crunch people may not spend so much this year. With the high price of the iphone on pay as you go people just might not be able to afford it. Only the fortunate few with rich parents or good high paid jobs. I am just waiting for the data speeds on Orange to slow down. At the moment i get reliable good speeds on Orange with consistent reliability. But i know its going to get worse. Well i hope not

I'd be really surprised if Orange added enough iPhone subscribers to slow down their network with these prices. I think most of the people waiting for this will now be wondering whether to keep on waiting till Vodafone join the fray after christmas - or perhaps waiting to see how O2 respond, since there's nothing to choose between them as it is. The only thing to swing it is network loyalty, and that doesn't run all that deep on either side.
I can't help thinking that if you've resisted the iPhone this long, you're not likely to leap now at the chance to sign up to Orange for the same deal you could have had off O2 more than a year ago.

I aint signing no contract i am staying with pay as you go. But also how will Vodafone fare? Will they be any better with pricing. I have a feeling they will because Vodafone seem to be pretty clued up imo. They can sit back and watch the iphone market see how it pans out when they get it next year they can try beating all of them.
