iPhone 4: Prices from around the globe

Now that we know how much the official release of the iPhone 4 will retail in Malaysia, how does it stack up against RRP prices from around the globe?

Here’s a listing of the iPhone 4 prices from countries that offer the device unlocked and without a contract with the most expensive at the top and the cheapest towards the bottom. But before you proceed, do note that we’re dealing with numerous exchange rates here which means prices indicated are approximate and not exact. It does however give you some indication of how much the iPhone 4 costs in various parts of the world.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that currently Maxis doesn’t offer outright purchases of the iPhone 4. The device is unlocked but you’ll need to purchase one with a 12 or 24 month contract with Maxis.
