Here in Greece, this is a good price. lol, it's sad, isn't it? Well, though it sounds expensive, it is reasonable in Europe. Here in Greece, this is a good price. lol, it’s sad, isn’t it?

Of course then you have to take a £7.50 pm bolt on so you don't get anally raped by the data charges. I'll pass, thanks. If I'm goign to get one it'll be on contract.

In the US its not being sold without contract so moot issue over here. Thank Gal, guess i deserve it for thinking you knew how to do the conversion.

Verizon was Apple's first choice originally and, they said no due to the fact of Apple wanting some of their profits. Of course, Verizon has the largest profit margin on service out of all the carriers(rip-offs). at&t new this would be a hot device and a first time release. They just wanted to make their money back on it. The five-year exclusive is just smart business sense. No one wants to go broke while Apple gets rich. Especially, when Apple made a device with poor reception and at&t had decent coverage areas. Let's face it, most iphone users live in cities and the burbs. Every carrier and their mother has service there. You can’t blame at&t for this one.

You can buy a new regular iphone for that price, without a contract, and already activated and jailbroken blah blah blah! Jobs said it would be around 200 dollars, even 200 euros (320 dollars) is tantelizing to me! But not 500! God .... Screw you Jobs! I'm here in Spain, and they won't even say how much anything will cost :(. THAT IS A TOTAL RIP OFF!
