Orange to Offer Unlocked IPhones For €749
That's right folks, for the low low price of €749, you can go to France and get your very own non-contract-binding iPhone from Orange. The iPhone is normally around €399, with a binding two-year contract. The fees add up as such: You buy a no-contract iPhone for €649, and if you want the iPhone unlocked, it'll cost you €100 more. The fee only applies for the first six months of iPhone ownership, however, so if you wait a while the unlocked iPhone will "only" cost €649. Anyone from the U.K. hoping to pick up a somewhat cheaper unlocked iPhone can expect to spend around £536 for the whole kit and caboodle. The iPhone goes on sale in France tonight.

So now that we know the actual price Apple puts on an iphone, is it good value?
I got an N95 for free on a £35 contract for 12 months (400 xnet mins + 400 texts). Its only £22 per month after cashback (ive recieved most of the cashback already).
Besides, the smackheads wouldnt be selling them for £50 each if the plan were to work.
ice to eskimos, I think they could do it.
