I am sure that they will charge a hefty premium to get so much of the revenue back and probably tie users into a 2 year contract, but as with the USA launch I am going to wait a month or two, as I am sure unless the phone is priced reasonably with a flat rate data plan and reasonable contract length, most users will give it a miss. Nokia and the others will no doubt bring out their iphone copies by early next year so will happily set on the fence till January or even Feb next year. The great thing about the iphone is that it will really jump start the mobile market which has been languishing.
