Apple really needs to launch in more countries if they plan to sell 10 million by the end of 2008.
Man, think of the numbers they would do if they just sold this SIM-unlocked worldwide.

I agree - but imagine. Would people really stump up $1500 for an iPhone?
Screw that.
If it was $400 / £200 unlocked everyone on the planet would have one by the end of January.

I see one big advantage of the cooperation. Google Maps locate me is required to know all the GPS positions of cell towers. And Apple can push the providers to give google those data. For the first time since triangulation was first mentioned I can clearly see it work out this time.
Other then that, I want my iPhone in Sweden :) And I want it on february.

Definitely not a great result. It is not bad, but just average.
I feel like the iPhone is finding hard time in Europe, and sales are not so great as expected.

Think from an economists standpoint.
Apple makes WAY more money, selling less phones and then taking a cut from the providers than if they just sold heaps of phones.

seems like they did what they expected. so it's pretty good. they just need to lower the price a little, and they'd sell a lot more

Nope, as a iPod Touch user , I prefer to wait for my Nokia N82 as my phone. But AAPL really need to bring up new plans if they want to hit 10M, and also seriously they need to bring new stuff to the iPhone. Look like people get tired of the recent iPhone look and use and want sth more

Seems like iPhone sales in the UK weren't great either - if they are going to get to their target it will be based on US sales
