But apparently they are worth it. The problem with the iPhone on O2 Ireland is that they just keep getting more and more expensive. Because on top of the price of the actual Apple iphone which runs out at 8GB being €399.00 roughly $605 and the 16GB coming in at €499.00 that’s about $757.

On O2s Ireland you need an 18 month contract with 175 minutes, no Voicemail and 1GB memory. Danuta Gray had this to say: “You can’t compare it with other products. Comparing it with a standard handset is just not like-for-like. I have music on it, videos on it, DVDs, photo albums, camera. To me it’s just an amazing device and I think the type of price here compared with this type of functionality is where the value should be judged.”
