Yes, I am aware the iPhone 4 itself is not white, it's just yet another Apple design I don't go for. (Not that it's ugly, just meh.)

But admit I was quite wrong about the price part. I expected the price difference to be similar to what it is in Europe (more exactly: Finland where I looked at it.)

I admit I was actually wrong about that, for some reason the iPhone is much better priced in the NA market than it is in Europe.

Here: (prices without contracts)
iPhone 4 (16 GB version) starts at 838€. (I'm not kidding.)
Galaxy S starts at around 506€

Here the iPhone is about 50% more expensive than, well, essentially anything else.
Apple's prices in Europe include VAT and everything else.
