As I said I don't like the iPhone and want it to fail
I reckon you've probably got a little while longer to wait

It does seem pricey at the moment. My guess is at some point in the nearish future, the older 3G will be phased out completely with the 16GB S taking it's place, and the prices will be reshuffled and cut at the same time. There's obviously some impressive new silicon in the S giving it all that speed, maybe they need to cover some extra costs there.
Was just thinking about this and occured to me that the prices of the new 3GS are not in relation to a shuffle or 'upgrade' to the added memory, which is a joke tbh. the 16GB 3GS is being released at the same price as the 16GB 3G when it was released... surely with 'advancements' in techonology the 16GB should be sold as the 'new' 8GB and the 32GB 3GS the same as the 16GB 3G. This is where O2 have really f*cked up IMO. Extortion.
I can't see the current 3G model being phased out until iPhone 4G next year

My bet is that they'll continue selling the current 3G at the announced cheaper price at least until they clear all the stock currently in existence. I doubt they'll manufacture many more, but I bet there's plenty across the world that need to be gotten rid of.
And like RyaN sort of suggested, I bet when the 4th gen comes out next year (kind of sucks to think they're doing the iPod Nano 'one every year' thing with something so expensive huh?), then they'll make this 3GS the cheaper model until it's all cleared out of stock.

btw, if you use quidco and buy from CPW, you get £45 back. Unfortunately iphone is excluded from quicdo when buying direct from O2
Does this quidco discount apply to the PAYG version or contract?

Yep, exactly - unlike last year when they had a bit of a firesale to get rid of all stocks of the 1st gen iPhone just before the 3G was announced, this year they've kept the price of the 3G steady and will still have plenty of stock. So it becomes a cheap entry level option (for now) and the iPhone reaches an even wider audience.
At some point stocks will start to dry up and it won't make sense to manufacture any more, so perhaps in the run up to Christmas we'll see an "S" model replace it.
O2's pricing meanwhile doesn't make a lot of sense, and doesn't seem to match up with Apple's intentions at all. I don't understand how Apple can have halved the dollar price for the standard 3G 8GB for example, but if I were to go to the O2 online shop right now and order it on my choice of contract, I'd be paying exactly the same as I did last October...?
