Orange Poland shops allegedly creating fake iPhone 3G queues

Not content to wait for the enthusiastic fans that greeted some iPhone 3G launches, Orange Poland is said to be paying actors to sit in line and attract genuine customers.


The claim comes after Reuters discussed the upcoming Friday launch with an anonymous spokesman who isn't attributed to any one company but is implied to work for Orange's Polish branch.

"We have these fake queues at front of 20 stores around the country to drum up interest in the iPhone," the representative states.

It's not immediately evident what concerns might exist that would prompt a staged introduction, though the news organization speculates that the subscription cost of the iPhone might deter some customers.

Discovering the truth behind the claim, however, is difficult. Orange hasn't published its Polish iPhone 3G prices or rates, even the day before launch, and at press time redirects all visitors from its main company website to the generic iPhone page with a placeholder image.

Some of that dissatisfaction may be evident in the plans for Orange's Polish iPhone rival, Era. While its base plan at $43 per month is relatively affordable with 150 minutes of calls, 450 SMS messages, and 500MB of data, the next step up immediately boosts the price to $88 per month for 350 minutes, 1,050 messages, and 2GB of data; a premium customer would have to pay as much as $156 per month even while limited to 800 minutes of voice, 2,400 messages, and 5GB of Internet bandwidth.

Accordingly, Era's stores -- which don't appear to be following in Orange's footsteps -- are reported as free of lineups as of Thursday evening.

Nemoj da se ljutis, ali kaze se "Koliko bi taj iPhone trebalo da kosta" a ne "koliko bi taj iphone 3g trebao da koshta".

Greshe ljudi, ali nikad nije kasno da se nauchi.

Actors paid to line up for iPhone

WHEN Apple rolled out its iPhone in Australia and the US, some fans paid big money to be among the first to get their hands on the device. In Poland, people are getting paid to line up.

"We have these fake queues at front of 20 stores around the country to drum up interest in the iPhone," a spokesman said.

As part of a marketing campaign ahead of the iPhone's launch in Poland today, the country's largest mobile operator Orange has payed dozens of actors to stand in queues.

Apple sold about one million of the new iPhone models worldwide over the July launch weekend.

In Australia, fans camped out in the winter cold the night before the iPhone launched. Throughout the following days there were queues outside the stores that still had handsets in stock.

Apple plans to sell 10 million iPhones this year, chief executive officer Steve Jobs said in January, a strategy aided by staggered releases worldwide.

The device will be released in 20 countries today, including Poland and India.
But buyers in Poland may be reluctant to pay hefty monthly charges, which is why there are apparently no real queues outside Orange stores or T-Mobile's Era stores, which is also launching the device.

Nije ni cudo, 90% ljudi koji su uzeli iPhone u Australiji ne koristi nista drugo nego za telefoniranje, slanje poruka i slusanje muzike. Uzeli su iPhone samo da budu IN & COOL!!

A evo jos jedne zanimljive vjesti...

COMEDIAN Jerry Seinfeld will star in a $US300 million marketing campaign to boost the image of Microsoft Windows, a person familiar with the effort said this week.

Veruj mi, trazio sam...nesam nashao, prevelika je tema iphone faq...Video sam one cene 199$ i 299$ ...A da li moze u americi bez ugovora da se kupi npr 8gb model?

Pa, nema odgovora na to pitanje, posto iPhone nece biti u slobodnoj prodaji tj. bez ugovora. To znaci da moze da te kosta 300, a moze i 600 eura i vishe - zavisi kakvu ko ima kombinaciju.

Najbolje bi bilo kada bi neko od operatera ponudio isti na ugovor u Srbiji :)

Ja sam kao presao sa iPod Video na iPod Touch i smorio se sa svim onim ikonicama i kliktanjem/muljanjem po ekranu... Otisao sam na EBay, narucio novu bateriju za iPod Video. Nakon toga i polir pastu. Sada opet imam shinny new iPod Video, a iPod Touch ne koristim :)

U Amsterdamu baš i nema redova ispred radnji provajdera koji prodaju iPhone, i to za 1 evro. Ko zna kakav je contract.
