iPhone in Europe - Failure or Success?

 
posted by stuart 260 days ago
With only two days to go until the UK launch of the iPhone, what do you think its chances of success will be? I've not heard of anyone standing in line yet. Were people not queuing five days in advance in the US?

  • it'll be so-so.

    Ridiculous prices, minimum contract of £35 per month for 18 months on O2 - if you're on an existing deal, it's not like you can just drop it and get an iPhone.

    ridiculous that mobile operators always require long contracts on a phone, who wants to lock themselves in for that length of time...

    • problem is, most decent contracts are 18 months these days.

      does the £35 include a data package?

  • Doesn't seem to have caused to much of a fuss, check out the queues around the UK:

    • is that not because people stupid enough to queue over night for a consumer product manufactured by the million are also too stupid to realise that they could walk round the corner and buy one from the carphone warehouse?
