Orange Offering 3G iPhone Upgrade Deals (Prematurely)

Wednesday May 28, 2008 4:03 pm PDT by longofest
French website PCInpact reports that Orange, Apple's official carrier of the iPhone in France, has been contacting existing customers with upgrade offers for the rumored 3G iPhone.

The first solution is a direct swap where owners can trade in their existing iPhone and get the second gen version for 50 euros.

The other option for those who would to keep their current iPhone, but also want the (supposedly) 3G version means they can buy the new model enjoying a "generous" discount.


Apple's 3G iPhone is expected to be announced at WWDC. Given Apple's preference for secrecy, it would appear as though such solicitations are being made prematurely.

This is it then. Come on Apple, just announce it! There's not much left for Steve Jobs to tell on June 9th... :D

Also sounds like good news for existing iPhone users..! :)

Fat chance we'll see AT&T offer the same deal to people in the U.S. But we can always hope... Honestly, I'm not sure why AT&T doesn't do this... they could take all the old iPhones in and resell them to people who can't get 3G or offer them as deeply discounted refurbs, thereby creating new AT&T customers, getting people cheap iPhones and making their existing customers happy in the process.

Allez les bleus.

As always the french get the best deals. I'm planning to have to shell out the full $399 AND sign a new two year contract. God bless the US of A.

OMG.. I am selling my iPhone. What are the odds of AT&T doing this? I am going to be very upset if this is true because as of friday, I won't have an iPhone to swap in.

That would be great if they offered a deal for current iPhone customers in the US but I doubt it.

Heh, I'm going to laugh so hard if they don't announce a 3G iPhone at WWDC. I mean, I'm also going to cry as I want to buy one, but this site's reaction=priceless.

Wow, those offers sound too good to be true. I highly doubt AT & T will offer that.

I really would rush here as fast as possible if he didn't announce it :D

I am praying we have some sort of deal like this BUT, BUT, BUT I understand completely why Apple would never do that here as I have never had that type of thing for past phones nor do I feel I SHOULD get it
