I buy a Nokia N73 (*1) on the Flext 25 + web'n'walk deal and it'll cost
£27.50 per month.

Now I take the SIM out of it and fit to a jailbroken iPhone. Wife gets
all the benefits of the T-Mobile deal.

I fit a PAYG SIM into the Nokia N73 and I have a nice new shiny
phone too.

That's probably a crappy idea but it sounds OK to me, or am I missing
something obvious here?

(*1) Or any other free phone.

How does the iPhone perform on the web/ email?

It's okay.  Remember that the iPhone does GPRS and EDGE.  T-Mobile
does *not* do EDGE meaning the phone can only really use GPRS which
will give you 92kb/sec (according to speed tests I've done online) to
play with which isn't all that fantastic.

However, the phone does roam onto WiFi networks which it's familiar
with.

The cost of the iPhone in the first place?
