      So why are iPhones (and other smartphone's) on three year plans in Canada and 18 months, twenty four months or no contract in other markets?

      If Apple is setting the pricing why doesn't Canada have plans like UK, Australia, US or any of the other 80 countries the iPhone is sold in?

But yeh orange will be buying the handsets in full but keep the same tarrifs as o2 because that way they will have a bigger return on sales. they are smart. good luck to orange

              Apple say how much to charge for the phone on the respective plans with o2. but orange will be buying the handsets from apple. the reason apple dictate the price to o2 is that o2 dont purchase the ahndsets from apple for the full price they are subsidised and they give a % of the sales to apple.
              end of the debate

                          Apple have 34 million in cash reserves...um thats definately not right cos I live in a manky little town in Wales and our council just spent 20 million on a new shopping development...Id imagine that the company responsible for the ipod, iphone, itunes, imac, app store etc may have made a little bit more than that lol

                                  Wait scratch that, more like 5 billion a year. But that's still a hell of a lot, isn't it?

                                    dead space bar, you are definitely wrong. As someone who works for a cell phone company, I can tell you our plans for the iPhone are identical to our other phones. I also would not at all be surprised if Apple had $34 Billion, that sounds about right honestly. Apple makes about 10 Billion a year in profit.

                                      Apple said they are 5 years ahead of the mobile market which is a joke coming from the US since they are 4 - 5 years behind mobile tech and tech in general
                                      The day i believe apple is the day steve jobs is cured of cancer and walt disney is alive.......wont happen

                                      Apple does dictate price plans go look for this on google
                                      Telus & bell getting iphone
                                      They are CDMA companies that are getting HSPA+

                                      And get this no real change will happen with the price plan cause apple is the one controlling it since they signed a contract to have it for a few years

                                        Does that mean people in the republic of Ireland can get the Iphone 3G/Iphone3GS from the carphone warehouse or is it the same old story of being offered only the old models of every brand name.?
