Well, for me this a no brainer. An iPod Touch is about £200 cheaper than the iPhone (hopefully Touch prices will go down tomorrow and the price difference will widen!) and I'll be buy a semi expensive (£80-£150) XHTML browser phone which will have a better camera/video function than the iPhone - and will cost less too.
Admittedly, the iPhone is only about £80 dearer than the similar Samsung Tocco, and a lot of people will be willing to pay the mark-up. And there ARE more expensive phones than the iPhone (Nokias in particular) and SOMEONE must be buying them, so their pricing strategy is probably suited to their wallets and not students like myself.
I agree the price is far too much for me, and I think the iPod Touch & new phone combo works to my advantage a lot more than the iPhone would. Now...lets hope for major iPod Touch improvements/price drop tomorrow! :D
