I just read an article that says that the iPhone will not have an unlimited data plan in France with the network operator Orange and that it will be available at November 29, 2007. There will not be a 3G version of the iPhone.

I really wonder if this will be the case in all European nations where the iPhone is sold. It does not make so much sense to offer the iPhone without an unilimited data plan as most of the applications rely on data from external server. This will probably rise a lot of complaints. On the other hand it always depends on the usage of the services, but then the iPhone could be offered with no ongoing plan at all.

They have also posted an image of the iPhone with a french menu interface:

Although the picture looks a bit blurry you can read “Mode Avion” at the top which in French for flight mode.
