Almost all listed retail prices in Europe INCLUDE sales taxes, which are usually around 20%. ]]>Sep 14th 2007 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/Sep 14th 2007 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/
The tax is added at the register. So an item that's listed as $1.99 will cost $2.27. It's just the way it is. There was some debate a few years ago about forcing retailers to list the tax-included price, but it was decided not to do this.

I prefer the EU way, as shopping here is constant math... :P]]>Sep 14th 2007 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/Sep 14th 2007 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/

At €399 (includes 20% sales tax) it would be £275 at current exchange rate, which is more expensive than $399 (excluding sales tax) at current exchange rate which equals £198.

So, somewhere between £198 and £275 ... I recon £249]]>Sep 14th 2007 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/Sep 14th 2007 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/
You are absolutely correct, didn't even think to compare with iPod touch ... can you tell it's Friday afternoon? ;)

Doubt 3G or more storage, I recon exactly the same model as USA.

Wonder what O2 monthly payment will be?]]>Sep 14th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/Sep 14th 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/Sep 14th 2007 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/For you USians out there that means Apple cannot legally limit their liability or regulate the warranty in contract.

then I'm afraid Apple aren't adding 3G for the euro launch. My blackberry picked up the edge service this afternoon in central London on o2, so it is up and running already.]]>Sep 14th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/iphone-for-t-mobile-germany-announcement-on-the-way/

Well if its exclusive only to O2, I'll buy black N95 with 8GB memory installed on it, at least I can use my T-mobile sim on that.
I hope it can be unclocked.]]>Sep 17th 2007 5:20AM
