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 public 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 notion 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 decent to announce the unsubsidized price, which is £159. Now whether that unsubsidized price holds true here in the US, we could expect to pay around $315 for an 8GB iPhone.

I actually think that price looks about right. Just tack on an additional $10, and you’ve got the exact amount that AT&T is paying Apple for each iPhone. Coincidence? perhaps.
