Not so long ago we mentioned that French authorities were seeking to scrap Orange’s exclusivity with the Apple iPhone 3G, well now FNAC a French retailer is selling unlocked and contract free Apple iPhones.
Seems the French Competition Council was successful in overturning Orange’s exclusivity deal with Apple and has force Apple to allow 3rd-party vendors such as FNAC.
However, the unlocked and contract free Apple iPhone 3G comes at a considerably high price as FNAC are expecting would-be iPhoners to shell out a staggering €799 for the 8GB which is $1123 and for the 16GB €899 which is $1263…no thanks.
