WTF Orange?

Cristi — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:43:47 +0000

The title says it all… Orange has launched the iPhone in Romania and the prices are HUGE. We have 2 plans: first 46.41/month and the iPhone at a price of 409 EUR for a one year contract and 249 EUR for a 2 years contract and the second plan 70,21 and the iPhone at a price of 369 EUR for a one year contract and 179 EUR for a two years contract. These are the prices for the 8 GB model, the 16 GB … I’m not even gonna tell you. Fuck it, why? Why in Romania we have the biggest price for the iPhone in Europe?

P.S. If you are a Orange customer and you wanna buy the damn phone it gets even uglyer: from 209 to 419 euro(for the 8GB model also) depending on the type of contract you have. For my type I’ll have to pay 419 euro. Oh… and I’ve asked if we will have access to the App Store and the person from the customer service asked back: “What is App Store?”

So… as a conclusion THE FUTURE ISN’T BRIGHT ANYMORE. IT’S A COMPLETE RIP-OFF.

iPhone…

Apple Showtime

Ieri a fost evenimentul Apple Showtime. Pe scurt ce noutati a anuntat Steve Jobs:

Un upgrade de capacitate pentru iPod (80GB), un ecran mai luminos, o mai mare durata de viata a bateriei si upgrade la soft care a devenit mai ergonomic.
iPod Nano a suferit si el un upgrade de memorie acum fiind disponibil si in varianta de 8GB, carcasa este din aluminiu si este disponibil in mai multe culori.
S-a lansat o noua generatie de iPod Shuffle, mult mai mic, cu carcasa de aluminiu si minidock.
Lansarea iTunes 7.
S-a introdus download-ul de filme de lung metraj prin intermediul iTunes Store.
Iar sfarsitul a venit cu prezentarea in avanpremiera a noului iTV, un device care se doreste a integra experienta Apple in living room.

Mai multe informatii puteti gasi pe siteul Apple iar un live coverage pe site-ul Engadget. Update: Un post care sintetizeaza tot keynote-ul de ieri aici.
Dupa cum ziceam intr-un post anterior vroiam sa imi iau un iPod Nano, dar cred ca ma voi reprofila pe un iPod Shuffle. Este mult prea mic si mult prea dragut.
