Australia's Singtel Optus Deals with Apple source: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
iPhone for Optus, not exclusively

Optus to sell the iPhone from the end of June
After months of speculation an industry insider (who has asked to remain anonymous) has confirmed to CNET.com.au that Optus will be one of several Australian mobile service providers to be selling Apple's iPhone, with sales and service commencing in the last week of June.
Optus plans to make the announcement mid-May ahead of Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference on June 9 in San Francisco where Apple CEO Steve Jobs is tipped to launch the next generation of iPhone.
While this source could not confirm a 3G version of the popular handset, they did suggest that Optus was expecting the upgraded models.
There remains further speculation as to which of the remaining Australian carriers will also licence the sale of the iPhone. With the first generation of the iPhone operating on the EDGE mobile network, the obvious choice had been Telstra as it's the only carrier with the necessary back-end technology.
The possibility of a 3G iPhone opens the door for the remaining carriers, who all provide a 3G service, and may in fact exclude Telstra depending on the latest iPhone model's hardware specifications. For the iPhone to operate on Telstra's Next G network it would need to support the 850MHz frequency, not just the 2100MHz more common in Australia, as well as in Europe and parts of Asia.
It has also been rumoured that Apple may intend to sell the iPhone directly through Apple stores and resellers, and that these phones would be unlocked. In the US CNET.com reports that the current iPhone carrier AT&T is planning a US$200 price drop on the next generation iPhone, subsidising the cost of the handset to prepare for the prospect of competing directly with Apple.

Don't worry. With all these news that Apple planning to have them unlocked or no more carrier exclusivity, you can get them from neighbouring country. Perhaps Singapore?

QUOTE Apple lines up iPhone Asia deals
Exclusive in-country deals have been part of Apple's iPhone strategy.
Apple has signed deals with four mobile phone networks in the Asia-Pacific region, and the firms will offer the iPhone in their respective markets.
SingTel will sell the gadget in Singapore, while Bharti Airtel will introduce it in India.
Globe Telecom has the rights to the iPhone in the Philippines, and Optus will offer it in Australia.
The iPhone was launched in the US and Europe last year. Apple chose a single network provider in each country.
The latest announcement is confirmation that Apple is looking to expand iPhone sales, though no further details have been revealed.
Earlier this year Apple and China Mobile called off talks to launch the handset to Chinese consumers amid speculation that the two firms failed to agree on a revenue sharing deal.
Analysts said that this meant iPhone were unlikely to be released in China anytime soon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7396047.stmlooks like the device will not come to malaysia , as usual |
