Now they decided that you can’t buy more than two units at a time and you have to pay with a
credit card. Stupid.

I know that the iPhone is far from being the best cell phone ever made, and it lacks a lot of basic features (recording videos, mms, free customs ring-tones) but it is an Apple product after all, and it causes a frisson by itself.

Apple could be making more cash if they stop with all this anti-sell techniques :

  • AT&T 2 years contract in U.S. ;
  • Orange 2 years contract in France ;
  • T-Mobile 2 years contract in Germany ;
  • O2 2 years contract in UK ;
  • € 945 for an unblocked, contract free in France ;
  • Two units per person, per purchase ;
  • Credit cards only;
  • What’s next?

With all this restrictions Apple sold 1.4 million units. In my opinion Apple could have hit the 10 million mark by now if they cut all this crap and sell the thing for U$ 399, unblocked for any SIM card and available worldwide like any IPod.

If the new Nokia N95 8GB black costs less, it could became the real Iphone killer, eh?
