Rent an iPhone
One of the most major critisms of the iPhone in the UK is that it is too expensive. Cash strapped iPhone fans could then consider renting an iphone for a day or a week, and there are a number of companies offering this service.
Rental prices vary, but £29 per day or £99 per week seems about standard. This is hardly cheap, but may be money well spent for those unsure about taking the plunge.
