Unlocked iPhones to sold in France for €749

According to MarketWatch.com, customers will be able to buy iPhones from France's Orange beginning at 1830 Paris time. Most interesting, though, is the fact that carrier-agnostic buyers will be able to buy an iPhone without an Orange plan for €649, and then can pay €100 to unlock it, resulting in a completely fetter-free iPhone for €749. Now, those of you armed with currency converters will note that this is still a hefty US$1,149, but it's a significant discount from the €999 or US$1,480 being charged in Germany for an unlocked iPhone.
