Last but not least
T-Mobile has become the final big-hitter to unveil its tariffs for the covetable iPhone 4, but it seems not to have played the last hand in the under-cutting stakes.
Compared with Orange, O2 and Vodafone's tariffs, the up-front cost of the iPhone 4 handset is probably the highest across the board. For example, a 16GB model on a £30 a month (24 month) contract will set Apple fans back £219, compared with its rivals' prices of between £169 and £179. And that's before we get to 3 and Tesco Mobile, which are more competitive than the rest on many of their prices.
The data available to users is fair but not overly generous. Customers paying between £25 and £40 per month over a 24 month period, get 500Mb, whereas customers on similar price plans on Orange and Vodafone get unlimited data or 1GB respectively.
Again, T-Mobile customers also lose out on the text front to Orange, O2 and Vodafone, which all provide unlimited texts for 24 month contracts over £35 a month.
Unlike some of its competitors, T-Mobile does not offer an 18 month contract for the iPhone 4, although no doubt fans of the covetable phone, which has saw pre-orders top 600,000 in just one day, will still be queuing up when it's available...soon.
Here's a screen grab.
