The problem is that the Consumers' Code [Law] in france prohibts the sell of a product tied to a service. Meaning that iPhones have to be sold both locked with a service plan by Orange as well as unlocked to this specific carrier.
1st problem: how do you specify the price of the locked and the "unlocked" (non-Orange) version?
2nd: Apparently Apple has demanded 30% of the calling revenues acquired by iPhone users from Orange. How can they claim that if the iPhone can be used with any carrier? Obviously they can't.
3rd: a parallel WORLD market of unlocked iPhones will be set up in France where Apple will no longer be able to guarantee "specific network-locked" iPhones, and from there they will be distributed all around the world, making ruins out of Apple's expectations to receive "air-time" premiums (actually percentages) and capitalizing from every carrier that distributes iPhone around the world.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
