The BBC reports in a little more detail - 30,000 iPhones in the first five days, of which 48% of which were new to Orange, and - more interestingly - 20% were sold as unlocked phones.

Cette idée paraît très bonne. D'une remise d'Apple

!

In Deutschland ist es nicht so gut.

And in the UK the iPhone should do better to.

Actually the BBC is wrong on their article.

If you read news articles in French --- it only said that 80% of the people chose the "iphone specific" plans.

Notice that in France you can buy an iphone with a general Orange plan --- in which case the iphone costs 549 euro.

Only 1500 iphones are reported to be bought "contract free" --- that's 5% of the 30000 iphones sold.

I don't think that this is mutually exclusive.

80% of people could have purchased "iPhone Plans"
There are many ways to get an unlocked iPhone... including buying an iPhone Plan and paying $100 extra.
