French Unlocked iPhone only 750 Euros
Apple has just announced that it will be selling unlocked iPhones for only 750 Euros ($1105). Other prices for the iPhone will start at 399 euros ($589) for a version tied to the Orange network with a two-year service contract and an "Orange for iPhone" plan, or 549 euros ($810) for a model without one of the iPhone plans, but still tied to the network.
The entry level plan starts at 49 euros per month and includes 2 hours of normal talk time, 2 hours of late evening and weekend minutes, and 50 SMS text messages. The most expensive plan is priced at 119 euros and includes 8 hours of normal talk time, 8 hours of nights and weekends, and 1000 SMS messages. For those in America, the hours are so low because incoming calls are free in France.
Simulated GPS
The new My Location feature takes information broadcast from mobile towers near non-GPS equipped mobile phones to estimate the device's current location on the map down to approximately 10 city blocks. Google has released a beta for the Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia/Symbian phones, but not yet for the iPhone. Apple has promised us to keep the iPhone updated, so this could be included in the January (probably) update of the iPhone.
