Oh nice, hopefully there will be a price war (thanks to Orange offering network rivalry and Tesco offering iPhone price rivalry) and the consumer wins. Hopefully.
 
So do I. But if you've got a credit card - you borrow.

And as a nation and as a culture, we in the West borrow, and very often more than we can afford.


Not everyone borrows. I still only buy when I have the cash sitting in my account.
 
China, Tesco

Yes, even houses.

Mortgages are fine. Of course they are. But when I bought my house I had to find at least a 10% deposit. There was a time when you had to find 25%.

The problems we're facing now are all because we treated 110% mortgages etc as a right.

And if Tesco offer the best deal, you'll resist the temptation?

Not sure I will.


Even houses? Mortgages are a loan worth getting IMO, even if few other loans are. Mortgages (back in the early 20th century) gave many working people the freedom to start using their money on themselves, rather than on landlords.

Back on topic: I'm no fan of Tesco, but I'll do my bit by not buying an iPhone off them. I can't sensibly afford one anyway, so I haven't got one.
 
This is probably going to be the best offer in the market. I used to be with tesco mobile and switched to O2 just because of the iphone...
