According to a press release from France Telecom, the parent company of Orange, it'll be bundling iPhones at 399 Euros with 4 different plans, ranging from 49 euros to 119 euros per month.
However, Orange is also selling the iPhone at 549 euros to customers "who do not wish to benefit from one of the four "Orange for iPhone" plans" (whatever that means...) and 649 euros without a plan. Unlocking the iPhone is a flat fee of 100 euros, regardless of the package selected.
It would appear that if you were to buy a French iPhone without a plan (649 euros) and choose to unlock it (100 euros), it'll be far cheaper than an unlocked German iPhone, which is daylight robbery at 999 euros. I'm unsure, however, if the 649 euro iPhone qualifies as one of the packages. Still, even if this were true, an unlocked iPhone at 749 euros is far too expensive for my taste.
I guess we'll know the intricate details soon enough as it won't be long before it's Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 6.30pm in France.
Edit: Looks like it's 749 euros after all.
