Mobistar does it: The iPhone 3G available at 99€

When Mobistar first announced the iPhone in Belgium, it was to be sold at the full price as selling the iPhone with a Mobistar plan is illegal. A lot of people were very disappointed as we all anticipated the iPhone for a very long time. When Steve Jobs announced the iPhone in Belgium, and the price drop, we all had high expectations.
However Mobistar somehow knew to screw up the deal due to legal issues. The iPhone 3G 8G was to be sold at 525€, and the 16GB version at 615€.
But now they make it happen:
Buy the iPhone 3G 8GB at 99€, and then pay 25€ every month during 18 months. After all you still pay 549€ but in a very comfortable way. The 16GB version is yours for 189€ and the 18 monthly payments. That results in a final amount of 549€/639€. That is not much more than you’ld originally pay.
I think this is a very intresting deal for people not willing to pay 525€/615€ at once. However you do have to pay 25€ every month during a year and a half. That’s long! And you still haven’t got a phone number/data plan then. So it’s a bit of a double deal. I still believe this might be very intresting for some people.
