So after i pre-ordered the 4s my mum now wants an iPhone for the first time, she's never had a smartphone before but fancies the iPhone 4 8GB, so far the best deal I've seen is from Vodaphone = £99 for the phone then £31 per month... is it right that ill get £59 cash back plus £40 from quidco for the iPhone 4?, i know you get it for the 4s.

Is there any better offers out there than this?

cheers

I don't know about the Quidco, but don't be sucked in by Vodafone's "pre-order cashback".

I'm not sure how the prices of the 8GB iPhone 4 compare, but Vodafone's upfront prices for the 4S are higher than those of the other networks... All the "£59 pre-order cashback" does is bring Vodafone's upfront costs down to a level more comparable to the other networks' upfront costs.

I guess that the cashback does apply to the 8GB 4 as well as the 4S - no where does it say it's for the 4S only, just that it is for pre-ordering.

But... I would check what the other networks are charging for the 8GB 4, given that their upfront costs for the 4S are lower than Vodafone's.

There's an additional £40 cashback through quidco on voda though, and on myvouchercodes there's a half price line rental for 3 months code. Worth looking into.

If you don't mind paying £35/month (Orange) you can get the handset for free with £70 cashback on Quidco. This offer is with Phones4u.

I would wait a while as it seems most networks (unless I'm missing something) haven't announced pricing for the 8GB version yet. My Mum has an iPhone 3G - painfully slow compared to my 4 - and would like an upgrade but will hold out to see what other offers come about.

If it's just the iPhone 4 you want and not the 4S, try www.mobiles.co.uk, they do a free iPhone 4 with the 3 network for £30 a month.

That looks good. I wonder if they will have 8GB soon.
