Apple UK offers up iPhone 3G on O2's Pay & Go prepaid plan

Maybe our circadian clock is completely busted, but six months does not "shortly" make. If you'll recall (we're asking a lot here, we know), O2 briefly led us on to believe that a prepaid iPhone 3G was just around the corner, and it has taken a full half year to finally see that come to fruition. As of now, the Apple Store UK is selling its latest handset in 8GB / 16GB flavors for £342.50 ($513) / £391.45 ($587) off contract. The iPhone 3G Pay & Go plan affords buyers 12 months of unlimited browsing and WiFi (in the UK) so long as you add a minimum of £10 after activating the handset. Flippin' finally, right?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

The iPhone 3G has been available on PAYG in the UK for months now. What is new, I believe, is that it is now available through the Apple Store rather than just O2 and Carphone Warehouse.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH. Where is the 32GB version of this thing, already?! If samsung are ladelling out 64GB SSDs, it goes without saying that cupertino are just being greedy as usual, but common sense is common sense.

PAYG iPhones don't support the visual voice mail AFAIK, and as mentioned above, its been available for months now.
