This ships with newer versions of the iPhone 3GS in Norway too. My friend got an iPhone for christmas and this charger was in the box. I got mine at the 3GS launche and that came with the old one

I prefer the old style because you can inter change the plug end (I have a UK one but also an euro head to swap if needed)

This is indeed a nice feature of the old one, but seriously, how many people do really need this on a regular basis?

My girlfriend's iPhone 3GS arrived yesterday including this adapter. I don't know if it's the main reason, but the box her iPhone came in was about 30% smaller than mine - same phone, arrived 3 months earlier.

Interesting, my page said the device was $229.00.

The page actually says kr 229 (Norwegian Crowns), Google Translate on the other hand "translated" the currency symbol to USD ($)...

229 NOK is 28 Euro or about $40.

P.S. Norway is an expensive country, too much wealth :)

Well CRAP, I guess I don't even need to watch the press event on the 27th now. How 'bout a *spoilers* tag next time?

Looks much better than the old one, IMO. Still not like the US one, but better.

25 euros ($35)?! You can buy no-brand adapters like this for $4 or something.

I seriously wouldn't pay more than 5€ for a small piece of plastic like this.
