As an update to an earlier post in which the exact date was not known, the iPhone will be available in France beginning November 29th exclusively to customers of Orange. It will be sold via Orange’s online and retail stores, and it is unknown whether the Apple’s local online store will be selling iPhones.
The French iPhone will come in an 8GB model for €399 including V.A.T. for any subscription to one of the dedicated rate plans and will work with either a PC or Mac. And as is the case here in the U.S., activiation will require an Internet connection and iTunes store account.
À bientôt iPhone!
