£160.....
I am able to get a brand new 8GB 3G iPhone for £160 or a 16GB for £210, should I go for one at these prices?

I have been looking at getting one for ages, but umming and arring all the time.

Advantages?

Disadvantages??

Help me out guys.

I see one everyday, very frustrating.

Really want one, just got more important things to pay for at the moment.

As I said mate, wish I could, but can't really afford at the moment.

Is it worth the extra £50 for 16GB?

How'd you make that out?

I'd be buying one, just to get the money back again? Surely I wouldn't be making much more?

Fair enough.

Need to be able to afford mine first though mate, before I think about buying others.
