“French iPhone carrier Orange is offering a killer deal on the iPhone 3G for le Noël, according to a sales flyer turned up by AppleInsider. With a contract, buyers can walk away with a new iPhone for just €99 for an 8GB model, and, according to MacBidouille, Orange is offering the 16GB model for just €129.
Though the fine print is a little hard to read—and my French a little rusty—the promotion runs from November 13 until January 14, and requires a minimum one year contract. Currently, Orange offers the 8GB iPhone at €149 and the 16GB at €199, or $190 and $254 respectively. Of course, carriers pay Apple a fixed price for each phone, estimated around $500, and subsidize a significant amount of the cost when customers sign a service contract.
Though it is unknown why Orange is offering such a sweet deal on the iPhone, O2 and T-mobile did offer steep discounts on previous-gen iPhones leading up to the launch of the 3G. Whatever the reason—higher than expected inventory, l’esprit du Noël—surely French customers are happy for the deal.” [source]
