The iPhone 4 comes to Portugal at a 'louco' price

companies like FNAC.pt, Worten.pt and Vobis.pt announced unlocked iPhone 4 for $1800. Vodafone.pt and Optimus.pt are likely to soon get on this wagon. These guys are profiting more than Apple for the unlocked device. It is outrageous to change $1800 for a phone that costs less than half of this price in UK, France and other countries in europe.

You get a plane ticket from Portugal to Zurich, spend a night on a 5 star hotel, take a cab to an Apple store, buy an unlocked model and return to Portugal. You can do all this for less than it costs in Portugal.

1. I'm not under 30, so I have no idea what point you're trying to make here.

2. I live in New Zealand. I'm not here on a working holiday; I'm working toward permanent residency. That's the only reason I "name drop" it. If I wanted to sound "worldly or well-travelled" I'd talk about the other dozen countries I've visited and/or lived in.

Oh, that's nothing. In South Africa the 32gb version is about US$1650.00. yes, all the zero's are in the right places. It's not officially launched here yet but but still, it's a tab excessive.

Italy is still the most expensive country in the world: iPhone4 32GB 779€ (but they are not SIM-locked).

Unless it is so expensive they are always sold-out in every store and people are going crazy just to get one!

Em Portugal é assim. Temos sempre elevados preços...

O iPhone 4 custa mais que o ordenado mínimo...

In Brazil it will cost nearly US$1.500. It is the price of the 3GS here. The best price you may have if you own a big account is around US$450 but you have to be loyal for 12 months.

Everything in Portugal is expensive.

Only problem is people there don't really make that much money.

Visit Belgium and buy an official unlocked iPhone 4 without contract!
* 16GB version = € 640
* 32GB version = € 750

If you ask me it is till much too expensive. They cost almost 3x more than the iPod touch ...

Wait a few weeks (or months) because every store is out of stock. At this moment you can only buy them at Mobistar shops. URL: http://iphone.mobistar.be

A friend of mine had set her sights on the iPhone 4 - and couldn't shut up about it ;) - but switched to a white Blackberry when she found out that even after a two year contract worth 718 euros (915 dollars) she still had to pay 270 euros (344 dollars) for the phone.

Might be a good price in some parts of the world, but too much for her.

apple.it (and TIM and Vodafone) sells the 32gb iphone for 779€...
