Apple iPhone Coming to My Ends (UK) Nov 9th

Ending months of intense, practically insane speculation, Apple just confirmed its first European carrier for the iPhone: O2 is scoring exclusive UK rights to the hotly contested device, and will be launching it on November 9th for ?269 including VAT.

Unlimited data comes standard with the ?35, ?45 and ?55 voice plans, which include 200, 600 and 1200 minutes, respectively, and 200 SMS for the cheapest plan, but 500 messages for the other two. Just like the rumors (finally) predicted, Carphone Warehouse is being pulled in to beef up retail presence for O2, with 1300 retail locations, each with an “expert” on the iPhone.

As I predicted the iPhone is coming at a extremely high price seeing as the 8GB iPhone is $399 not ?269 ($538) !!

Will you buy it if your from the UK? I wont seeing as university is taking a large chunk out of my pocket!
