For the past two iPhone launches, Optus has led the charge, both with plan pricing and announcements. Yet here we are, about a month from launch, and they’re the only major Telco without a pre-registration page for the new iPhone. What gives?
Back in March when Vodafone and Three refreshed their postpaid pricing, they introduced free Vodafone to Vodafone and Three to Three calls, but not from one to the other. According to Whirlpool, that all changed back on June 7, with some customers calls from Vodafone to Three being marked V23 and not actually costing them anything.
HTC is keeping the Android flood washing over Australia by announcing the HTC Legend for Voda and Three last night. It’s the return of the chin!
Overnight Vodafone announced that it would be announcing plans for the iPad from the end of May for a host of regions around the world. Well, now the other networks are getting on board as well.
Mitchell Bingemann at Australian IT reckons all the Australian carriers are all clamouring to introduce the miniature SIM card standard nobody had heard of a week ago.
VHA – the result of the recent Vodafone and Three merger in Australia – is either looking for some cheap publicity or sucking up to Apple. Or both, considering this announcement we received yesterday after the iPad announcement:
Considering we’re only in January, the promise of the Nexus One arriving in Australia through Vodafone “sometime 2010″ isn’t completely reassuring, especially with the rapid quality jumps that happens in the smartphone market. But at least it’s something to look forward to, I guess.
Voda’s flicked the switch on their regional 3G network today, bringing the joys of faster mobile to thousands more Australians.
Looks like Three failed to make the impression they were hoping for with their iPhone pricing earlier this week, because they’ve gone and tweaked it. Fortunately, it’s a better deal for potential 3 customers.
With the Vodafone Hutchison merger all approved and whatnot, the big question now is whether or not Three will be getting their great-valued hands on the iPhone. And eagle-eyed tipster Ryan reckons it might be a possibility, with certain hints from 3′s website.
