"Germany, however, has been a very weak iPhone market so far. The number
of phones sold are about the same as in France, despite the fact that
Germany is a much bigger market. The exclusive provider, T-Mobile, just
announced a huge price reduction to $155 from $625 for the 8 gigabyte
iPhone. Buyers have to agree to a two-year monthly subscription fee of
$140 per month — almost as much as the phone itself. The question is
whether this will spur sales or remain so expensive that it estranges
Apple’s handsets from serious European consumer consideration." |
