However, I'm sure there would be nothing to stop you from importing from a country where they are available on pre-pay (for example, a conveniently close country called Australia). ;) | maccrazy (6741) | ||

I have seen a few comments around about instore activation only which will be global since it is a global release. gizmodo.com Sounds like the iPhone is going to bring in the $moolah for Apple too blogs.yankeegroup.com |

(Fireblight) ;) Only ones exported from NZ. :p Just as a price comparison I see Vodafone advertising the BlackBerry 8310 Curve for $699 + Free Compass and Free email and web access for 6 months on a 24 month plan with RRP of $999 in today's SST. |

| 677139 | 2008-06-15 01:52:00 | So if the Blackberry is at $699, the iPhone should be around $75? ;) (With 12 months of free calling thrown in as a sweetener.) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

That would depend on what Vodafone has in mind and how much they want to get it out there. Although that is pretty much what has happened in the UK and France, their situation is different in that they are allowing iPhone customers to upgrade to the 3G iPhone for 50 Euros where as there hasn't been a legit iPhone market here until now. With 12 months free calling Vodafone would still win by picking up revenue on the data charges (as long as they are not excessive) |
