Where did the picture come from? Amazon.co.uk still shows the 3G model at 152.

Raising the price doesn't make any sense. My guess is that someone in Amazon's graphic design department was working on a new splash page based off of something already done for the American site, and the price just hadn't been updated yet.


ETA: Scratch that... apparently the VAT increased from 17.5% to 20%.
ETA again: Scratch that... the VAT increase would only take the price up to 155. So I'm standing by my original theory.
