Maybe not all that good on the P&G front, you are looking at 3G and Gps. Don't wanna see the credit wind down while using these added new features. But is also nice for light surfing, texting and the odd phonecall, ofc making good use of the Music and Video features.
Charge for GPS surely not?! Or are you talking about using the 3G with GPS for some kind of tracking/geotagging? Seriously, get me iPhone+tomtom and im a very happy guy. Only reason I didn't buy last time was because of no GPS. 24hr battery for music im am liking a lot!
On P & G, because of pay as you go costs, it becomes either extremely expensive to use or it isn't used, i which case, one might as well buy an iPod touch, which has all of the music and video, capabilities, has WiFi and will have the 2.0 features,
it'll probably also be cheaper than the pay as you go iPhone
What? Are you mad? This is great news. It means an even easier way of getting hold of an iPhone 3G without worrying about the contract, particularly if you already have a contract like myself (It took me a lot of trouble to get a US iPhone for nearly £400 last year). Now I've just got to sit it out for a few weeks after launch until they get it unlocked and I'll get one to run on Vodafone (fingers crossed).
prepaid option? that is GREAT news -- i may actually be buying one now to jailbreak / unlock since i wont have to deal with a 2 year contract. great things about having friends overseas!

@Si: I think he meant direct charge for 3G and indirect charge for GPS since you'll be using Google Maps.

It's only using A-GPS so it will find your location using the on-board GPS but it will need a data connection to download maps and display it
