iPhone price in Germany = $1.54

Published on June 16th, 2008

T-Mobile will sell Apple’s new iPhone for as little as 1 euro ($1.54) for the 8-gigabyte version together with a $106 monthly contract.

Apple is set to reach far more consumers with the launch of the 3G iPhone in 70 countries than it did with the original version a year ago, partly due to having abandoned its insistence that carriers give it a share of call revenue.

Operators such as T-Mobile now have more scope to subsidize the cost of the phone to buyers in return for more lucrative contracts.

There ain’t going to be an iPhone in our immediate family until we can walk into the local T-Mobile store and buy one that matches our current plan.

Oh, yeah. O2 in the UK says the iPhone will be free.

#3 – I know, I know – you want a Vistard phone.

#4 NO!

What I want is a 8 Mpixel camera with 6X optical zoom lens, that can place and receive phone calls.

t-mobile was desparately trying to sell off their stock of iPhone V1 over the last few weeks. After the inital hype, the sales obviously fell off pretty quickly. Seems that a) 3G was important here and b) most Germans may not be quite so susceptible for the hype. We still have our share of Apple zealots, though.

They are currently busy to find arguments why it’s good for them that realtime navigation software is not allowed on the 3G iPhone.

#6 that’s easy: If you use your iPhone as a Tom-Tom, when someone calls you, you get automatically lost…

These stories have more weight when the two year cost of ownership is calculated. Most consumers are smart enough to know that “free” smartphones cost a lot because of the accompanying data fees.

#8 – I’ll bet you’re not smart enough to figure that out.

#9 – Sorry worshiper. I already gave out my hack of the day award. You’ll have to try again tomorrow.

#10 – Use it as a suppository.

#11 now, that was rude. Jimmy won’t be able to sleep tonight because the secure-a-feeling technique the shrink gave him was ruined by your comeback.

James, go to a mirror and repeat: ” I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!”

We should bomb these bastards!

The dollar is THAT weak??

And headed nowhere but down. Remember when one Euro cost less than a dollar? I have a library book here that still has the price sticker on it:
12.95 GBPounds
19.95 USDollars
22.95 Euros
29.95 Canadian Dollars
35.00 Australian Dollars

Oh, obligatory iPhone content: I can see no reason to disallow turn-by-turn directions unless Apple plans to sell such software at a high premium. Maybe as part of a package with .Mac, QuickTime, iTunes and AppleTV for $250/year?

#16 why 250? it has been proven that macfans can put up with higher costs
