Basically

The monthly charge does not seem that bad! They have already sold out the iPhone in NZ so someone is buying them!

not sold out in NZ! The post said the UK...

The iphone is not sold out in the new zealand, it is sold out in the UK, that means England.
This is a horrible pricing plan. You may spend up to 250.00 per month x 24 month commitment. Which equals $6,695.00 total money spent including the iphone. You have to mortgage your home to buy one. Can you believe that?!? That is incredible, and it only gives you 600 minutes of talk time per month. Well needless to say, they won't be selling many will they. Everyone that I speak with says no to vodaphone (iphone) robbery!

The UK is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The iPhone is not sold out over here as it hasnt even gone on sale yet, it is only sold out online...
