No much of an acolade after dealing with T-Mobile and Orange
As for the price coming down it look slike it's a five year deal!

But how much is O2 paying for its five-year exclusive, and can it really make any money out of it?

But no by much Chris - they look like they make about 60p per month from data charges so by including them they're still making the deal look really bad.

Around 30 per cent of O2's ARPU comes from data, but only 2.6 per cent of that is data as we would understand it - the rest is SMS traffic which is unlikely to change significantly for iPhone users (though the inability to send to multiple recipients, or type messages one-handed, might reduce traffic). So O2 stands to lose at least 60 pence in data charges per month, per iPhone user.
The iPhone doesn't support MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), but O2 users only send an average of half a message a month, so assuming the iPhone user would also have received half an MMS per month, that's another 45 pence off the ARPU.

For that you could get yourself a Nokia N95 on a 12 month Flext35 contract, with double the included minutes, and unlimited 1.4mbit 3.5G.
What's more, you'd still have enough left to buy an 8GB iPod Nano. And an entire PC

Does look liek one great big rip off
I'd love one but I just can't justify being ripped off like that. Hopefuly the sales will be slow when people realize hoe bad a rip of it is. It's just really bad value for money.
