iPhone to cost $200 or less, say newspapers

Leander Kahney at Cult of Mac spots independent rumors all converging on the same number: $200.

USA Today, the London Guardian and the Financial Times are all independently reporting that the new iPhone 2 will start at $200, bolstering the rumors we heard last week.

A British carrier, according to the Grauniad, will give it away free of charge for people prepared to sign up for the super-high end $150+ plans.

If it costs $200 or less, I might be purchasing my first Apple product in 10 years.

I'm more interested in seeing other carriers besides AT&T sell them, as I really don't want to give any money to them. (I'm a former AT&T incarnation employee)

My mom's phone just died, which she IMed me about literally as I clicked on this article. She says she wants an iPhone, but isn't sure it's in the budget. I told her, well, hold off today and we'll see what happens....
