iPhone in Prague Starts to Sell Tomorrow

The most wanted cell phone iPhone 3G is finally possible to get in the Czech Republic. O2 starts to sell it tomorrow. For how much? Telefonica 02 offers it for endowed price 1 czk, when you sign a contract for one year. Non-endowed price for the 8GB mobile is 12 000 czk (800 $). The 16 GB iPhone costs 14 000 czk (930 $). It costs quite a lot, let’s say about 600 $ more than in the US. This is due to overpricing in the CR that became a standard.

The most important upgrade of the iPhone 3G (3rd generation) is that its wi-fi achieves download speeds up to 3,6 MB/s. Czechs will still have to wait for iPhone Touch some time, and the only shop that sells iPhone is one at Narodni Trida, logically expecting crowds tomorrow. The other companies that plants to launch iPhone in CR are Vodafone and T-Mobile.
