To make the different markets where Apple is establishng the iPhone a bit more transparent for the curious reader I created these comparison tables so you can see at what prices the iPhone is being sold.
I converted all prices to US-Dollar to have the whole iPhone comparison more transparent. The exchange rate for the british pound was 1 pound = 1.99 US-Dollar. For the Euro it was 1 Euro = 1.44 US-Dollar.
Everybody interested in the iPhone ought to know this:
