BBC article
Supermarket giant Tesco has joined a growing number of UK firms offering Apple's popular iPhone.
A spokesperson for the firm said that it hoped to offer the phone "in time for Christmas".
Although Tesco has not revealed tariffs, the spokesperson said that its prices were "competitive".

Yeah good they might be the first to lower the price. Not. Have you seen the Tesco brochure? Man its so expensive all its electrical goods its crazy. Hardly any of the electrical goods are of decent value at all so i cant see it being much cheaper if at all. Even people like Argos i find expensive and not as cheap as people make out.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Bonovox absolutely right who ever said Tesco was cheap anyway? Electrical's are way over priced and even with the food you can get far cheaper deals in Morrisons or Asda
Lets see how they price the iphone now? but if its going to be on Tesco Mobile then i doubt i would be interested doesn't quite sit right for me iphone + Tesco Mobile

hmmm
but I don't think this will do the iPhone any harm as it generally shuns convention
and anyway, doesn't Walmart and other similar shops now sell it in US?

i can just see the advert. Tesco shopping online well there's an App for that too  Seriously though i have the Tesco brochure at home & its not cheap with its electrical goods at all though some phones are. The c510 is far more than anywhere else in Tesco

I have been checking regularly for a Tesco shopping app, but there isn't one yet (just so I can add those items into my wifes online order that I used to slip into the basket when we actually went to the shop together!)
Ocado do have one though so fingers crossed that tesco will develop one now.

masseur your probably right but for me Apple does have a certain brand image and its not like they sell Macs or any other Apple products in Tesco so it seems like a bit of a misfit for me that the iphone to be selling there but what do i know i could be wrong

Tesco are obviously moving up in the Mobile world because not long ago they never even offered 3G. Now they have a new data tariff too of £2 per week unlimited(not having that discussion)data

Yeah, but Wallyworld sells the iPhone with an AT&T contract, while I think Tesco's going to sell one on their network, so there's a slight difference.
