Why is the iPhone sooo expensive on just O2???

Why is the iPhone 3G in the UK on O2 still £350 on PAYG? It's old technology now, surely it would lower its price! The iPhone 3GS is £440 here on PAYG. Now check out these stinking contracts!

Tariff
£30 for 18 months
iPhone 3G 8GB £100ish with 125 text messages and 75 minutes!!!
iPhone 3GS 16GB £200ish with 125 text messages and 75 minutes!!!
iPhone 3GS 32GB £300ish with 125 text messages and 75 minutes!!!

With Vodafone I can get unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £30!!! But they don't support the iPhone!

£35 for 18 months
iPhone 3G 8GB £100ish with 500 text messages and 600 minutes!!!
iPhone 3GS 16GB £200ish with 500 text messages and 600 minutes!!!
iPhone 3GS 32GB £300ish with 500 text messages and 600 minutes!!!

Is it the same in other countries because O2 is screwing us left right and centre with these!!!
