Stale
Operators (all three of them) have started selling the iPhone 3G in the Czech Republic on Aug 22. Sold thousands of them. Apparently, the cool kids have gotten them earlier via under-the-counter distribution channels – saw several higher-up managers with the toy in June and July.
Rather then becoming the leading cultural icon of the year (as it did abroad), it’s just another piece of the rich handset mosaic here.
Which is a good thing in my view – diversity breeds competition breeds better value / cost proposition. I have to admin, though, that I’d like to experience that frenzy at least once.
But we Czechs are not easy to get excited en-masse – last time it happened was late 1940′s when the communists took over while the nation clapped, then in 1968 when the local communists tried to play it nice until the Soviet tanks rolled in. Takes a couple of these to get a critical worldview I think.
It’s quiet here. So quite it makes you think nothing is happening out there. Just the big wheels of business-as-usual grinding.
Pity.
