A ridiculous amount. New Zealand is the most expensive place in the world to buy an iPhone. Its also the first place in the world to sell them, but who cares when they're at these unreasonable prices:
8GB - NZ$979 - US$743 - £375
16GB - NZ$1129 - US$857 - £433

Yes, but are the NZ iPhones not contract free???
If so, what are the chances of ordering them to be sent over to the UK??? |

Those are contract free prices, but you can only use them on contract. So you need to already be on a contract to be able to use one.
The contract prices are still stupid. The most expensive contract gives you only 1GB a month of data, and over the 2 year term it ends up costing you about NZ$6500 (US$4934/GBP£2494). And that's assuming you never go over your contract allowance.

I don't think any of us are silly enough to get one at these prices. I'm sure they are locked though.

After the initial release, I tried in vain to upload some video. I then went back to the store and the Vodafone staff very kindly let me jump the queue to try the phone and take some photos. Standby while I upload them. It'll be at least 1/2 an hour. I'll also have another go at uploading the video. I've gotta head to work in less than 3 hrs though and I've been up all night... 
As I write this the Vodafone Auckland store will have sold out (they were comparing the number of customers waiting to thier stock as I left) which means the Wellington and Christchurch stores are probably the same. More are available at other stores and at VodafoneNZ's Online store.
Edit: iPhone Unboxing photos
Check it out!
Yes it's the iPhone 3G, no I haven't bought it... yet.
No I don't know the download speed. I asked but the staff couldn't tell me, and didn't have one set up to test in this way. I did get to try a working demo model and take some pics so - enjoy!
It did synch with my HBH-PV605 BT headset ok and and also with my V640i via BT but did not list the phone name. Only 'Mobile Phone' came up; Object Push was listed under services in my phone.
No camera settings are available at all.
Goodnight

13,000 per sec = 60M per hour
No chance of that no of sales - maybe failed attempts to log in?
