O2 Ireland 3g Iphone

[apope8]

Hey guys

I was looking at the O2 Ireland Website for the 3g Iphone

http://www.o2online.ie/wps/wcm/connect/O2/Home/Shop/Phones/iPhone/

Its being advertised as €299 ($462) for the 8gb model. I could of sworn I heard Steve Jobs say that it would not cost more than $199 (€128) worldwide??

Can anyone clear this up for me? Did i misunderstand what he said? Or is this just another example of us thick paddys gettin ripped off by our sham of an economy??

Any opinions would be appreciated.

I might be wrong, but most of the photos and specifications on the site there look like they're for the EDGE iPhone, despite the fact that the release date lines up with the 3G model.

i work with a certain mobile retailer in ireland. I think we were told that the iphone will start at €49 or maybe €149 i could not hear what was being said on the phone properly. I am pretty sure that it is €49 though
