That was my guess too (chatting about it with my other half yesterday). Although it's still more than it should be I think I'd be happy with that. If they try and pull £300 they can **** off.

Exactly the same logic I've been using over the price. A lot better since the price cut in the States as I was definitely expecting a £350 iPhone...
I wish I had the resolve to stick to that, but I'm a weak, weak man so I'd end up paying for it
I've been tempted by some 8GB iPhones from the States as the weak dollar makes then around £160-180, but must resist..... not long now. Apple is going to get a pretty penny from me over the next 3 months - new MBP, iPhone and an iPod classic
Please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone, please be iPhone...
They are really hurtling through the announcements now, after a loooong period of silence. Makes me wonder what they'll have left for the Paris Expo (assuming there's a keynote!?)

For the benefit of some forum members who speak English as a second language, the idiomatic expression "Mum's the word." means "Don't tell anybody."
In German, Mum is no longer the word! translates to Endlich weitersagen!

Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if they want to charge more than they do for the iPod Touch, initially at least.
But then I'm a pessimist!
U.K. iPhone for Christmas, Middle of September would seem like a good date for release.
I do hope so ..

eah, its gotta be the iPhone. But who knows, maybe more announcements also? ( like new mac pros?)
The fanboy in me will ultimately stump up the £300 if it came out at that price.
That's what they will be banking on, and many people will pay for the initial thrill and exclusivity!
Iphone
After reading this it got me thinking.
It would make sense for Apple to announce the iPhone and the carrier of choice in each country. That way the CEOs can get up and spout on about how excited they are to be working with Apple etc etc.
With this announcement a week before the Paris date, it is possible there could also be another announcement in Germany the week after the Paris date or not long after. Nov 12 seems too far away though..
I would like for this to be the iphone, i think it makes sense given the UK itunes video content is already available (others have suggested it will be to annouce this). I'm going away for 2 weeks on the weekend so hopefully they'll still have iphones in stock when I return as I already have $$$ set aside for one.
Happy pondering

They cry like babies 2 months later when there's a huge price drop
I'm crying already at the imminent prospect of yet another expensive gadget that I will not be able to resist!
