  • Gosh. That IS tempting. Very smart retailing.
  • You can buy an unlocked one in Italy or Greece for Euro 569. You can use the rest of the money to get a return flight and you will be still left with spare change for a snack.

    Seriously though, isn't Euro 800 too steep?
  • Who's got a spare €800 these days?

    The reason the 3G ones flew out the door was the drastic up-front price cut. Apple have been forced, kicking and screaming to sell SIM-free in a number of markets, but I doubt they have sold 1 for every 100 on contract.

    Even doing the TCO maths, you still need that wedge up front to realise the savings - and most people don't.

    Maybe someone could go ask a shop attendant?

  • I'd feel really worried at putting 800 euro in a machine...!
  • €800 for a phone? Dream on.

    I had the same reaction to that new Nokia the other day at €500-odd.

    I coming more around to the INQ way of thinking.
