@pscs:

I stand corrected. Thanks.

LOL, that's funny - normally I don't like U.S. people speaking other languages just to make fun of these languages because many of these U.S. people don't care for other countries than the U.S.A., but _THIS_ time it was really, really funny!

Good article, funny, etc. - keep on!

So, I live in the Netherlands. Let's say I went into Germany, purchased the iPhone, but don't activate it at home, I just have gotten myself an iPhone for a ridiculously cheap price? Anyone care to explain this for me?

Don´t want to be the know-it-all-guy, but since other guys already startet it...
It is the german flag even though it´s rotated. If you watch closely you´ll see that on the flag of belgium the colors are in a different order (Germany -> black, red, "gold"; Belgium -> Red, Yellow, Black)

And: The new rates allow me to buy a legal iPhone finally. Great news! :)

OH BTW:

"limited-time offer (April 7 to June 30)" - Does this mean that the new iPhone will be out by 1 July???... and that the 16GB EDGE iPhone will still be available?

yeah, this google translate. they did a couple of other languages with French (I think) a while ago. Sounded funny (I speak FR+DE).

Let me *just* say this because I lol-ed when I saw the second word: "Was is..." O__O

anyway... DAMN!!! I bloody paid $432 (in Cupertino) for mine... (BTW I don't live in the US, AKA it's unlocked). unlockers are gonna snatch them quickly. But... who wants a 2.5G iPhone? I think you'll make a few hundred bucks if you sell them online. and ah... I'm not going to germany anytime soon. so you guys don't worry I won't buy out a whole crate of iPhones.

Was zum Teufel ist denn los in BELGIEN/Belgium??

hehe.

This is not the german flag since it is rotated. Sorry for nit-picking but the orientation is quite important when flags are involved.

OK, so then I guess it's July 1 for new iPhones! Seriously, I just bought a crappy phone to tide me over until the iPhone is updated. I hope I don't have to wait that long.
