Wal-Mart will offer the 8GB iPhone 3G for $197 and the 16GB model for $297. That's a whopping $2 off AT&T's iPhone prices and includes the same two-year service contract. Best Buy, in contrast, is currently offering the iPhone 3G models for $189.99 and $289.99 -- seven bucks less than Wal-Mart's "always low prices."
