This would be brilliant if it was possible to buy the handset then just cancel the contract (I would be queuing outside the o2 shop if it was) but I fear it might not be so simple.

Normally when you get a phone on a uk network (o2 for example), you get the handset for free (or some nominal fee) and are then locked into a contract - 12months or 18months. Won't the iphone contract work the same way?

For example, if I went into the o2 shop today and agreed a contract and got a handset for free (or some nominal price) then asked to cancel the contract. Wouldn't they demand the phone back?

This is what worries me about the iphone, I'd love a handset (and don't mind paying £269 for it) and my current contract (or Pay as you Go), I'm not so keen on the £30 ($60) / month with only 200mb data contract.

Am I wrong? I hope so. Anyone have any thoughts?
