I've seen it for â¬14 in various places
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

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 :)
Will it have a slimmer price too?

January 21 2010 at 10:03 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyLooks much better than the old one, IMO. Still not like the US one, but better.

hello from Switzerland
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.
