Fans Cheer as Apple's iPhone Finally Hits Europe

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fall-is-apple-season dept.

An anonymous reader sent in this article which opens, "Apple fans lined up through Yesterday night in Germany and Britain to be among the first in Europe to buy an iPhone, the must-have gadget that is set to shake up the mobile industry." Over 10,000 phones were sold in Germany by Friday afternoon. In France, however, the iPhone doesn't arrive until the end of month.

    Apple would have to pay me for their "design" and "building". If I wanted crap I'd buy a Dell.

    Yeah, that's less than $600. For a phone. What a bargain!
    600? more like 564.
    Is there some particular part of less than you'd like help with?
