Today is the day when customers in 20 more countries have started to purchase the new iPhone 3G and one of them is Poland. Orange is the carrier which brings Apple’s handset in some European countries, including Poland. From what we hear, Polish people aren’t that enthusiastic about the phone.

It appears that Orange has hired fake actors to stand in fake iPhone lines to draw attention to their store and make people buy the new iPhone. I don’t know if this is good marketing here or plain desperation. After all not everyone will want Apple’s phones, no matter what version. And I don’t know if a fake line would make me buy a phone. I’d appreciate good prices and fair plans.

Speaking about plans, we have no idea what iPhone plans Orange Poland has. The carrier failed to advertise them on their site. What’s the matter Orange? Are they too high?

On comparison, Orange Poland’s competitor Era doesn’t have any lines in front of the stores. And they have their offers available for the public. Era’s cheapest plan is $43 per month and it includes 150 minutes, 450 SMS messages and 500MB of data while the most expensive plan is at $156 per month and it includes 800 minutes, 2,400 message and 5GB of data. Well… who needs 2,400 messages?

Getting back to Orange Poland now. If you can prove the fake lines, drop us a line!
