iPhone is launched in France at 749 euros

[jay2000]

The Apple iPhone handset, incorporating mobile phone, multimedia access and music functions, was to go on sale in France with a promotional blitz late on Wednesday, following European launches in Britain and Germany. Apple hopes that global sales from the initial launch in the United States in June to the end of next year will total 10 million units.

The price is crazy wow I didnt buy one from USA for 400 usd I know i will never waste 700 on a phone:mad:

The price in US$ in the article is of course incorrect - 749 EUR is around 1110 US$, not 505 US$ as stated...

[foxyshadis]

Either AFP or Jayed.us got it complete wrong; the actual price is €399 with data plan, €549 with voice plan, or €649 with no plan at all. Who knows where they came up with €749, even orange isn't crazy enough to sell a thousand dollar phone. It's pretty obvious some math nub did the conversion in reverse to come up with $505 though.

Or was hoping the exchange rate would ease up by the time the article went public! :p

749 Euros is what unlocked phones are going for on the average, not the selling price.

In Germany it costs up to 1000 Euros! :D

Yeah... Id buy a N95 8GB instead... Only thing that stops me is that it doesnt have a mineral-glass display like the iPhone... So it would scratch very fast! :[

Plus..... In the UK you have to sign up to an minimum 18 month contract at a minimum rate of £34.99 per month... So that's another £629.82 :eek:

749 euros is alot for anyone also I think that price is correct since Yahoo News, AFP, and Reuters Reported the same price

thats why theres clear coat nail polish, we used to paint it on things we didn't want to scratch in shop class, if it scratches just take it off and re-apply

also
are people even buying the phone for that much?
I'd rather buy a new laptop for that kinda money!
