Forum: Australian Resellers Advised by Apple on iPhone 3G
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Australian resellers have been informed by Apple about the details of the iPhone 3G launch there, according to a forum post at MacTalk, a Website for the Australian Mac community.
The post by "decryption" said on Tuesday that resellers were advised of the strategy for the Australian market rollout, namely:
- Last week of June release
- More than 1 carrier
- No contract lock in
- Current resellers will be able to sell iPhones
The anonymous author went into considerable detail, from his perspective, on what all that means, including the fact that the launch date coincides with the scheduled openings of the Sydney and Melbourne Apple stores.
In addition the author put some of the other items in perspective regarding the Australian market. For example, only Telstra operates an EDGE network, but all the carriers support a 3G HSDPA network.
While the post has to fall in the category of a rumor, the post has a considerable amount of technical detail that sheds some light on the Australian wireless market as a whole. Caveat Emptor.
