Greeks Will Pay More Than €37 Million for the New iPhone
Although there were no lines or camp-outs upon their arrival, like it happened in other countries, Greeks seem very eager to acquire the new iPhone models.
The first batch arrived was 10,000 units and... despite the economic crisis, many Greeks rushed to electronics stores and mobile phone service providers’ outlets to see, test or buy the new Apple smart phone.
Prices start at 739 euros for the iPhone 6.
Retailers estimate that initial quantities will run out during the weekend... they promise that new batches will arrive next week.

I can't fathom out why certain Tories want the EAWs to stop. There are some daft examples of Brits wanted on minor charges but assuming thus guy is guilty the sooner he is back to face the music the better IMHO. They also enable countries to haul back their own crims from the UK. What's not to like about that?
