Everyone has iPhone

May 10, 2008 · Filed Under General · Comment

I figured it would work out this way, but with Vodafone’s announcement so prominent, it looked like it would just be them.
This is good. A 3G iPhone (as opposed to NextG, for just Telstra) means there will be some competition going around. Optus also tend to have good data plans, so this is promising, too.
Telstra, I think, missed the whole 3G thing and went to their NextG service, which is on a different bandwidth, but I guess their network supports a fallback frequency, or Apple will build a dual band HDSPA version for us.

There’s also a rumor that Apple will sell the iPhone directly and unlocked, allowing users to pick the best plan. Maybe that also means there will be prepaid access plans for it.

Vodafone to carry iPhone

May 9, 2008 · Filed Under General · 1 Comment

This sounds good to me. The new iPhone will be 3G, and Vodafone have some pretty good deals on data packages. I am hoping they are generous with plans and actually give you a couple of Gb per month with the access.

From the article:

Vodafone has scored the right to sell the Apple iPhone within Australia, and nine other countries.

It was announced today that the global telco had secured the rights to sell the iPhone in Australia, as well as in New Zealand, South Africa and India.

Telstra was previously believed to have been the frontrunner for the iPhone contract.

Vodafone is expected to sell the new 3G based iPhone, speculated to be available after June.
