France Telecom just announced that the iPhone will go on sale tonight at 6:30pm (18.30) at a dozen of its Orange stores across France. It will charge between €49 ($72) and €119 ($175) per month in addition to the €399 cost of the iPhone itself. After 6 months, Orange customers can unlock their iPhone for another €100 euro. The iPhone will also be sold unlocked for €649 ($957)
So many choices for the French. Shame the same couldn’t have been done in other countries.
The German unlocked iPhone costs a whopping 999 euros. Worth a day trip to France if you want to get an unlocked version and save yourself 350 euros.
