Summary from United States, from articles in English

The basic model now sells for less than the cost of an iPod Classic (not counting the $70 monthly charge for using AT&T's mobile phone and data network, which eventually makes the purchase more expensive than an iMac). (article 4)
Apple plans to make up the difference in sales revenue with volume and with subsidies wireless carriers will now pay for the right to carry the gadget. (article 3)

The new iPhones, initially to be introduced in 22 countries, are designed to work over so-called 3G, or third-generation, wireless networks and have global-positioning technology built in. (article 3)

In the UK, 02, the only British mobile operator selling the iPhone, is expected to offer the 3G version free to customers who sign up to its most expensive monthly tariff. (article 2)
