3G iphone in australia? which telecom will get the authorization from apple of australia?

mmm...maybe the announcement will be on june 9th, but it's still not in market at that time.

@jakesean
U'r gonna be the lucky ones. HSPA speed in australia (telstra) gonna go up to 42 Mbps. Couple with the 3G iPhone ... u got blazing speed.

42Mbps...wow tats was great..even at singapore cant achieve the speed...

only Telstra? what about 3/Optus?

the limit is limited to 160GB there right?
it would be more than enough to download

3G, 5MP camera, stereo speakers sound very tempting for me to upgrade. But must still wait for the os 2.0 to get hacked firts only can use.

wher got subsidy anymore?
if there is, petrol price wont be like this.. zzZZzz

Guys my apologies if this is a stupid question.
I think, maxis do have a subsidies on phone, say that if we sign contract with their package we can buy phone at cheaper price, refer linke below;

Does this marketing strategy is the same with AT&T do with iphone? if does, why maxis never try to apply it with iphone.

I'm interested with the idea to write letter to maxis and get customer sign, maybe instead of letter we can use some sort of online petition and send to them. This might work because the law is simple, when there is demand there will be supply, isn't it?

Cheers.

@jakesean

yes its true not always, but have we try to at least? :?

Vodafone spokesman Greg Spears said customers would be able to buy an iPhone outright and purchase credit without being locked into a contract.

I believe it'd be a standard practice worldwide. If that's the case, the current gen iPhone will still have its value.

The weird thing is, i seen a couple of 3G iPhone pre-order threads in Garage Sales. One even claiming he could bring it in BEFORE 11th July @_@
I don't know if they are unaware of the different purchase policy Apple is adopting now or...is it just a scam?

Sorry to rain on your parade but even if you get it from Optus/Vodafone and bring it back here, you still won't have warranty. Also, iPhone on prepaid plans would be more expensive. Of course, it's better than not being to get one at all. Just curious to see what the price is like for prepaid iPhone's..

Haha, if it's anything like the US, you wouldn't be able to claim warranty even if you bring it back there because you need an active account for them to service your phone. So the only way is to keep the prepaid account alive if you want the warranty.

Then again, what are the odds of an iPhone breaking down? If you don't drop it on the floor every 2 days, that is..
