8gb ... $ 199
16gb ... $ 299

For everyone else, with a 2-year contract:
8gb ... $ 399

PS: Recently, the scheme of buying an iPhone 3G was discussed by signing a 2-year contract and abandoning it with the payment of a fine. The standard penalty for AT & T in such cases is $ 200. Whether there will be another, a large amount of the fine for contracts with iPhone 3G is unknown, but the total costs with such a scheme are no less than when buying an iPhone 3G without a contract, therefore there is no point in this scheme.
