Two things:

It's annoying that they are selling a 2G model. It'll be useless about a year after they start shipping.

The data rates are absolutely comedy. Considering EU roaming laws mandate that carriers have to sell at a wholesale level at 5 eurocents/MB, that is a giant markup. Perhaps there is some level of basic admin on the accounts, payment processing etc, but charging 20x the wholesale regulated cost isn't great.

It's not useless in Europe, where 2G will be supported for years to come.

Will it? Says who? Already operators are refarming 2G spectrum out in the UK at least. There may be coverage but it may become increasingly patchy as it is reused for 4G.
