The rumor states 50€, not 30€...
PCimpact's buzz news (Yeah, a PC website who brings in Apple news is already weird to start with) said that Orange has contacted a big bunch of iPhone early-adopters to question them on what to offer for a v1 to v2 switch...
Two solutions, either a phone swap for 50€, or a slightly bigger amount allowing you to keep your v1 (/me thinks of a gift for his gf :-) ) Nothing said about reconducting actual contracts for another 2 years or simply continuing them.
And again, it's only a rumor... not a single french Mac-website reader has brought any proof of a call from Orange yet, besides a couple of "They called me" lacking details...
So wait and see.

Please try to be a bit more considered with your pictures.In Europe Americans are also not portrait as Burger-eating-Bush-loving Taxans in front of an SUV...

Oh, yes we are. :-)
No offense was meant, of course. I was just trying to capture the concept of "French telecom discounts iPhone" with an image. I mean, I could have shown the iPhone lounging around with the Sun King at Versailles, but that might have been stretching the metaphor a bit....

at least the iphone wasn't holding a loaf of french bread and a glass of wine...

I have a hard time finding economic sense (from Orange's view point) in offering this.
I'm with T-Mobile (in The Neths) and I can upgrade to a new phone for a reasonable amount (also in the 40 - 50 euro region) but only after one year *minimum*. The iPhone hasn't been out that long in France (nov '07).
Telco's aren't in the business of pleasing customers - they'd rather milk the OMG! new version! OMG! must have ! OMG! OMG! for all it's worth.
