France Telecom's Orange expects to sell nearly 100,000 iPhones by the end of 2007, the French phone company's chief executive said today.
The iPhone goes on sale in France tomorrow evening.
Didier Lombard also said Orange would offer the unlocked i-Phone in France at a price "significantly lower" than the €999 proposed by Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile in Germany.
In France, the starting price of the iPhone with a contract will be €399, and a 24-month contract will start at €49 a month and include two hours of communications and 50 SMS text messages.
The price would be €4.50 more per month for a 12-month contract, the minimum term.
