With next gen phones due out in a month or so, do people see the prices of sim free current gens (Galaxy SII, HTC Sensation, Xperia Arc, etc) going down significantly soon?

I've had a HTC hero for over two years and am looking to upgrade. I've got the Meteor €15 monthly bill plan and don't want to give it up for a more expensive, less attractive 18 month contract. Phones listed above are all ~€4-500 sim free but do you think they'll come down in price in the next few weeks?

Considering the prices the Galaxy I is still selling for on eBay, I don't think there'll be a dramatic drop in price any time soon on the current generation.

The older SE Arc is 250 (prepay) I'm thinking thats a good deal for that phone which will be getting ICS.

I'd wait until ICS and Sony's UI is like before buying
