In France, Orange is apparently giving iPhone customers hefty incentives to trade up to the new model when it arrives. Orange has been calling their customers to offer a deal on upgrading to the new 3G iPhone.
One offer would allow the user to trade in their old 2G iPhone for the new 3G version, as well as paying €50.
A second offer would let the user keep the older 2G model, but they would have the option to buy the new 3G iPhone with a ‘generous’ subsidy from the carrier.
The rumors started when quite a few readers of PCInpact reported the claims.
Orange hasn’t responded to any requests for confirmation… so file it under rumor for now. I would expect this to be somewhat true, although the finer details are probably a bit different.
Should also be interesting to see if the older 2G models will indeed be discontinued… or if they will still be offered by certain carriers. There are going to be so many countries, and so many carriers on board here, it’s really hard to tell.
Site Note: What about the millions around the world with jailbreaked and unlocked 2G iPhones? Can we trade those in to the respective carriers!? 🙂
