Orange France’s sale of iPhones crosses the mark 116,000 (France)
Since the launch of Apple iPhone 3G smartphones, 116,000 has been sold said Orange France. Orange’s decision to offer it through retailers such as Fnac, Darty and Auchan is the reason for its success. According to Orange, half of its iPhone 3G users first had the original version. Orange is selling the 3G phone for EUR 149 compared to the first version’s retail price of EUR 399. SFR said that 40,000 of its subscribers had a first generation iPhone and between 1,500 and 2,000 owned the iPhone 3G. Concessions have been made to some of the clients by partially reimbursing the price of iPhones bought as standalone products.
