Assuming the usual (US price in $ = UK price in £), I'm guessing about £350. Which is kinda pricey, come to think of it. I still want one. P.S. I know you don't have a TV, but can you get your hands on one tonight (e.g. invite yourself round to your neighbours or something). I'm really hoping either Jonathan or Jelena get to ask something on Question Time tonight. According to this Yahoo! news article it’s meant to retail at $350.

I think the bbc streams it. Whatever happens, you will have to blog about it. I was going to watch it at work next week. I think the bbc streams it.

Excuse me while I try and mop up some of this drool. This is a triumph I can hardly believe. In terms of user interface design, interaction design, and sheer bloody beauty this is a totally revolutionary device. I have never gotten excited by a phone before ever. Nor have I by an MP3 player, although I must admit to being completely seduced by the iPod Shuffle this Christmas—but that was more a “awww, it’s so pretty” thing, rather than a “oh my God, this will change my life forever” thing. As for handheld computers? I’ve never even owned one. (Although I did think the Nokia 770 was cool, at least until I saw the iPhone.) But this? This is one of the most exciting things I have ever seen. Everything about it is just new. A new way to do email, a new way to do SMS, a new way to Voicemail, a new way to interact with a device of any kind whatsoever. Hell, even the interface for making a call is new. And all of it is an improvement. It is simply one of the most amazing devices I have ever seen, and I can well imagine myself being one of those people actually queueing up to buy one when they come out here later this year. One thing is pretty sure: Blackberry, Palm and all those other has beens are pretty much dead in the water from this moment on. [...] […] So, the iPhone has been revealed.
