AT&T has still remained mum on the subject of unsubsidized pricing for the iPhone 3G. that is something public are interested in, since many humans may not end up qualifying for the unsubsidized price, due to already being mid-contract. (Granted, we still don’t know precisely how AT&T plans on handling that situation). However, some recent news from O2 might give us a good concept of what to expect.

O2 will be charging anywhere from free to £99 (for the 8GB model) which, on the higher end comes up to nearly the

same as what we are expecting to pay by here. Unlike AT&T, O2 will be offering the iPhone with one of their prepaid plans. You will have to pay an unsubsidized price to get one of these, and they’ve been kind ample to announce the unsubsidized price, which is £350. Now whether that unsubsidized price holds true here in the US, we could expect to pay nearly $700 for an 8GB iPhone.

Edit: Updated to reflect the unmistaken price.
