Telstra Looks More Certain To Be Releasing The iPhone 3G
Optus and Vodafone have confirmed it, Telstra’s in its SDK as a compatible carrier and 3 is telling customers in store that they’ll be releasing it after the July 11 Launch. The “it” in that last sentence is obviously the iPhone 3G.
But now Australian IT is reporting that Telstra will definitely be releasing the iPhone 3G, probably on July 22, with Uncle Sol likely to make an announcement as early as next week.
As Gus over at Lifehacker put it, Michael Sainsbury (who co-wrote the article) is insanely connected with people at Telstra, so there’s a lot of credence to this story.
What does this mean for you? Well, if it’s true, then Telstra’s newtork will offer the best coverage for your iPhone, but it will almost certainly be the most expensive. If you ever need to travel to rural areas though, the big T is definitely your best choice.
Stay tuned for more info as it comes to light…

“If you ever need to travel to rural areas though, the big T is definitely your best choice.”
What, only city people want to buy iPhones?
I live in a rural area, and I want one.

Telstra might sell it, even though The Head of Telstra has called the Iphone Crap. Telstra will make a mint if they sell it as there NextG pricing is 10x more expensive than there competitors.
And people who sign up for it on Telstra will pay through the nose.
Suckers.
And Telstra’s will not support anything made or that uses anything but Windows. So good luck with support.
Telstra proudly bringing crap service, at premium prices.

well done Josh.
Got all your facts in a neat little basket?
Telstra is the reason why we have such a high standard in Mobile Telecommunications.
If it was not for Telstra starting such a massive movement in Mobile networks (GSM to Next G), you would not have competition like this with the new roll out from optus 900mhz network, you wont have ADSL2 at ALOT of the now enabled exchanges around Australia and you would also probably wouldnt get the importance of all this with you narrow mined post.
“Telstra proudly bringing crap service, at premium prices.” – Give me a break. What have you done for Australia?
