You're right, it is not illegal anymore. But I am sure glad I didn't have to take one or the other subscription with it.
Those cellphones for 1 euro are also available without the subscription, you just pay more.
I don't know if that is also the case with the US I-phones.
Oh, and Blackfairies are as ghey as I-phones, just not as good looking....
If you don't want to be ghey, throw away the phone and shout really loud, Chuck Norris style, make people hear you...
