Perhaps iPhone sales aren’t as rosy as we think over in Japan. No solid sales numbers are available at this point, but one has to wonder how good it really is selling now that Softbank Mobile intends to offer up the 8GB model for free. That’s right, free.
A report over at CrunchGear noted that Softbank is seeking a jolt in sales, and intend to offer the 8GB iPhone 3G for free on a 2-year contract, and the 16GB version for just over $100 on the same deal. The promo is set to begin this Friday and should run until the end of May. To coincide with the free iPhone, data plans are being discounted from just over $60 per month to somewhere in the $45 range.
Awesome news for everyone over in Japan for sure. If a free iPhone doesn’t start flying out the door, I don’t know what will! Now, if my carrier would only slash its data plan pricing, I’d be a happy camper…
