iPhone in Ireland...
by bloglikesit @ 28/02/2008 - 12:42:48

I always told myself that I wouldn't buy an iPhone while they are so new because they are so bloody expensive - I got my Nokia 6300 for free and I love it.

But today it's been confirmed that it will finally be released in Ireland through o2 and the Carphone Warehouse (same as in the UK) on March 14th, and suddenly my ears have perked up. I mean, Landers is working now, we've got some extra cash coming in...

:>

The only thing is, we're getting reamed over here. I mean, in the UK there is a big price difference compared to the US, but the Euro price for the iPhone is reported to be the same as the US price - both are either 399 or 499 depending on storage size, but we have a € instead of a $.

€499 for the 16gb version, which is almost $742! Nearly $250 more! Bastards. Robbing bloody bastards.

Still really want one, though...

I'd imagine the prices will come down on ebay now, but they're still pretty pricey on there compared to buying one from a shop. People unlock them (which costs them nothing) and then put a massive surcharge on them. I'd rather buy one from a shop and unlock it myself - or maybe even activate it the proper way and get the updates that come out without having to worry about mucking my phone up!

You joke, but you're not far off! Works out at about £250 in the USA, compared to £329 in the UK. Although the UK price includes VAT, and the US price doesn't include local sales taxes as far as I know.

But no, I don't know anyone going there soon. Bah.
