I don't think the iPhone will do as good in Europe as it did in the US. Some reasons can be given. First of all not selling the phone in a lot of countries at the same time. People get frustrated this way and will look at other devises.
Second, Nokia. This brand isn't that big in the US, but in Europe it's doing great. And WM devices are also doing pretty good.
Third is the specs. The phone is expensive. What specials do you get? A nice touchscreen with a great UI. But is it worth the price? I'll settle for a N95. Does pretty much the same, more and better. Except for the "A nice touchscreen with a great UI".

If you look at the news on the blogs around, the sales are not that great. But then again, other sources claim Apple will announce 5mln iphones sold somewhere next month.

I have to agree with your assessment.

I dont think money matters when it comes to purchasing a phone. In Norway we gladly pay $8-900.00 if it has the right toys. Im talking about a Nokia or SonyEricsson. People buy new phones every year. I think the Iphone will do good in europe

Yeah, but I'm sure you're also not buying a phone with a 2 year ball and chain attached to it (a.k.a. a contract) either.

Dameon,

We have different types of ball and chains, but not more than 1 year. If you dont want it you have to pay alot. You can get a phone for $0.15 but the chain is $30 a month + what you use.

Obviously better than here. I wish they'd do more in the States to promote buying phones outright versus the two year ball and chain route.
