All Dutch mobile phone carriers give you something for free when you sign a contract with them. You can either choose to take a crappy phone and a cool gift or a cool phone or no gift.

Is Holland the only country that has something like this?

Before the iPhone launch, i went to look for other phones that AT&T offers in America and I saw that you had to PAY for a Motorola RAZR v3 even when you would take a two-year contract while we get them for free with a very cheap one-year contract here.

I just DON'T get it.]]>Aug 1st 2007 5:26PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/01/htc-touch-gets-hooked-up-on-orange-france-too/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/01/htc-touch-gets-hooked-up-on-orange-france-too/
The reason why you still have to pay for a Razr in the states even WITH a contract is that our phones suck, so the razr isn't a "cheap" phone compared to most garbage they sell here.

Check out verizon's phones here:

(if it asks for a zip code, use 95050 or something)
They have free phones, but they are beyond terrible...
