Pocket-Lint confirmed with Carphone Warehouse, that the 8GB models are broken, and O2 said that the site during the on-line stocks in the 8GB model are gone, retail stocks are dwindling fast.

It was just one week ago that O2 cut the price of 8 GB model of 269 British pounds ($ 533) to 169 British pounds ($ 335), a move which was seen as an inventory-clearing measure the expected introduction a 3G iPhone.
