Apple’s iphone 3G : Vodafone ahead of O2 and AT&T

Apple’s latest iphone 3G will be released by Vodafone in New Zealand, come July 11th 00:01 hours. This will be almost 24 hours ahead of the iphone 3G’s release in the US markets by AT&T.

The wait for the much-sought after iphone 3G’s release is almost over now. The high-end Smart-phone looks more elegant with rounded corners than the first generation handset. For those who think bigger is better, the iphone 3G is bigger but retains the slim look of the first generation model.

It is being released in two color variations of black and white, so you can take your pick. Apple’s iphone 3G is slated for release in 23 countries world-wide on July 11th, and 50 other countries would be added to the list by the year-end. So no matter where you are, you can’t be too far from the Apple iphone 3G.

The iphone 3G comes with a tri-band HSDPA connectivity, in-built GPS, has access to AppStore and Microsoft Exchange Mail among its many features.

The iphone 3G measures 115.5×62.1×12.3 mm and weighs 133 gms.

However, the iphone 3G’s pricing by its different carriers O2, AT&T and Vodafone , is getting mixed responses.

And Vodafone may also pick up the deal as network partner for Australia.“The carrier deal for India is being worked out with Vodafone,” an Apple source, told the Business Standard.

Vodafone officially denies any such deal, though company insiders have confirmed it, the report claims. Apple is engaged in a slow expansion into the country, with plans to open a second store in Bangalore and a third in Chennai this year. India is a critical market: the Indian mobile subscriber base is set to almost double to 500 million by 2010, the report explains.
