The official video:

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.
