doesn't look like it could be running towards a smooth launch in Europe unless a carrier can be found. If they are truly this reluctant, i don't like my chances of getting my hands on one
If they somehow do go SIM free (who knows how that would work) the prices would be the same but you get to choose you carrier. If spread over the 2 year contract it would probably be around £350- £400- $700 - $800 for the 8GB device and a two year contract with a min charge of £35 a month(the usual for contract phones at the mo with the 450 min i guess). This works out at a total min payment of £1190 with just the min contract plan and min device pricing- thats about $2300.I am just guessing we would be offered a deal similar to the U.S one. I dread to think if it didn't go on sale at all....
But hopefully this all will go ahead similarly and we wont end up paying too much more.
